Heat pump servicing in Newtown: what to expect
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.
Heat pumps in Newtown that sit near trees or hedges often need their outdoor coil cleared of leaves at the annual service. Service visits in Newtown include unvented cylinder safety checks alongside the heat pump itself.
An annual service keeps a heat pump running efficiently, catches small faults early and is often a condition of the manufacturer's warranty.
- Homes where running costs have crept up or rooms feel cooler than before
- Heat pumps a year or more past installation
- Landlords who need dated service records for each property
What's included
- Controls and error log check, with settings adjusted where needed
- Unvented cylinder safety checks and legionella cycle check
- A dated service record for your warranty and property files
- Refrigerant circuit checks on split systems by an F-gas certified engineer
- Cleaning of the outdoor unit coil, fan area and condensate drain
Homes in Newtown and across Powys can book servicing at a time of year that suits them, ideally before winter.

Once a year is the usual recommendation for air source heat pumps, and many manufacturers require it as a warranty condition. An annual visit cleans filters and strainers, checks pressures and controls, and tests the unvented cylinder's safety devices. If you notice a drop in performance, unusual noises or repeated error codes between services, arrange a visit sooner.
