Short winter days in Newburn and what they mean

Heat pump servicing in Newburn: questions
Do you also cover Newcastle upon Tyne?
Yes. We arrange heat pump servicing and repairs in Newcastle upon Tyne, which is about 5 miles east of Newburn, and across Tyne and Wear.
How much does a visit cost in Newburn?
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.
Can you work on a heat pump in Newburn that someone else installed?
Yes. We arrange servicing and repairs for most air source heat pumps in Newburn, whoever fitted them. Tell us the make and model when you get in touch.
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.
Can you service a split system?
Yes. Split systems have refrigerant pipes running between the outdoor unit and an indoor unit, and checks on that refrigerant circuit must be done by an F-gas certified engineer. We arrange the service so a suitably certified engineer attends. The water side, controls and cylinder are checked in the same visit, just as on a monobloc system.
