What to know about heat pump servicing in Hay-on-Wye
A heat pump that is serviced and set up properly keeps running efficiently for many years. Many heat pump faults trace back to settings, low pressure or a worn part rather than the heat pump itself, and those can usually be put right.
Service visits in Hay-on-Wye include unvented cylinder safety checks alongside the heat pump itself. Heat pumps in Hay-on-Wye that sit near trees or hedges often need their outdoor coil cleared of leaves at the annual service.
An annual service keeps a heat pump running efficiently, catches small faults early and is often a condition of the manufacturer's warranty.
- Systems where the manufacturer's warranty requires annual servicing
- Landlords who need dated service records for each property
- Heat pumps installed by another company that need a new servicing arrangement
What's included
- Expansion vessel, pressure relief and water quality checks
- Cleaning of the outdoor unit coil, fan area and condensate drain

Heat pump servicing in Hay-on-Wye: questions
How often should a heat pump in Hay-on-Wye be serviced?
Once a year is the usual recommendation, and many manufacturers make annual servicing a condition of the warranty. Check your warranty terms for the exact requirement.
Do you also cover Builth Wells?
Yes. We arrange heat pump servicing and repairs in Builth Wells, which is about 13 miles north-west of Hay-on-Wye, and across Powys.
Will the engineer need access indoors as well as outside?
Usually yes. The outdoor unit, the hot water cylinder, the controls and the pipework and valves indoors are all part of the visit, so allow access to each.
What does a heat pump service not include?
A service covers inspection, cleaning, testing and adjustment. It does not include replacement parts, major repairs, system flushing or radiator changes, which are quoted separately if needed. If the engineer finds a fault, they explain what it is, what it would cost to fix and whether it needs doing now or can wait.
Do I need to do anything between services?
A little. Keep the area around the outdoor unit clear of leaves, snow, plants and stored items so air flows freely. Check the system pressure gauge occasionally if you have one, and note any error codes. Avoid covering the unit or building an enclosure around it without advice, as this can reduce performance.
