What to know about heat pump servicing in Burnham-on-Sea
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.
If a heat pump in Burnham-on-Sea has not been serviced for a while, the first visit includes a full check of settings and pressures. Service visits in Burnham-on-Sea 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
- Systems where the manufacturer's warranty requires annual servicing
- Heat pumps installed by another company that need a new servicing arrangement
What's included
- Unvented cylinder safety checks and legionella cycle check
- Cleaning of the outdoor unit coil, fan area and condensate drain
- Refrigerant circuit checks on split systems by an F-gas certified engineer
- Expansion vessel, pressure relief and water quality checks
- Magnetic filter and strainer clean, with system pressure topped up
Heat pumps in Burnham-on-Sea that sit near trees or hedges often need their outdoor coil cleared of leaves at the annual service.
