Heat pump servicing for Peebles homes
Aftercare matters as much as installation. For a heat pump in Peebles the visit checks the outdoor unit, the water circuit and the controls, and the engineer explains any settings that would help the system run more efficiently.
Heat pumps in Peebles that sit near trees or hedges often need their outdoor coil cleared of leaves at the annual service. Landlords in Peebles can arrange servicing for several properties, with a dated record for each.
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
- Heat pumps installed by another company that need a new servicing arrangement
- Heat pumps a year or more past installation
What's included
- Controls and error log check, with settings adjusted where needed
- Glycol or antifreeze protection test where fitted
- Cleaning of the outdoor unit coil, fan area and condensate drain
- Expansion vessel, pressure relief and water quality checks
- A dated service record for your warranty and property files
We service heat pumps in Peebles whoever installed them, including monobloc and split systems.
Grants and rules for heat pumps in Scotland
In Scotland, heat pump funding comes through Home Energy Scotland rather than the Boiler Upgrade Scheme: a grant of up to £7,500 (up to £1,500 extra for eligible rural and island homes) and an optional interest-free loan of up to £7,500. For a Peebles home, apply and receive the written offer before the installation date is fixed.

Heat pump servicing in Peebles: questions
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 should I check before booking a visit in Peebles?
Note any error code on the controller, check the system pressure gauge if you have one, and make sure the outdoor unit is clear of leaves or snow. Photos of the unit and controller help.
How much does a visit cost in Peebles?
The rate for a service or fault-finding visit is agreed before anyone attends. Any repair is priced in writing before parts are ordered, so you decide before work goes ahead.
Is servicing needed to keep my warranty valid?
Often, yes. Many manufacturer warranties require an annual service with a dated record, and some extended warranties require an approved installer. Manufacturer warranties pass to you, and the length depends on the make and model. Check your warranty documents, and keep every service record safe with your MCS certificate and handover pack.
