Servicing By Qualified Engineers
Regular servicing is one of the most important things you can do to protect your heat pump. A thorough annual service keeps your system running efficiently, helps identify potential issues early, and ensures your manufacturer warranty remains valid.
Our heat pump service includes:
Full system inspection and performance check
Checking refrigerant levels and pipework connections
Cleaning filters and checking airflow to the outdoor unit
Inspecting electrical connections and controls
Checking the hot water cylinder and thermostat settings
Reviewing flow temperatures and system efficiency
Testing defrost cycles and safety controls
Written service report and any recommendations
Why Regular Servicing Matters
Skipping annual maintenance can lead to reduced efficiency, higher running costs, and costly repairs down the line. You should have your first service 12 months after air source heat pump installation, as egular servicing keeps everything running as it should.
Key benefits of annual heat pump servicing include:
Lower running costs – A well-maintained heat pump operates at peak efficiency, keeping electricity bills as low as possible
Longer system lifespan – Routine checks catch minor issues before they become expensive problems
Maintained warranty – Most manufacturers require annual servicing to keep your warranty valid
Consistent comfort – Regular maintenance ensures reliable heating and hot water throughout the year
Peace of mind – Know your system is safe, compliant, and performing as intended
Warranty Requirements
Most air source heat pump manufacturers require evidence of annual servicing by a qualified engineer to honour the terms of your warranty. Failing to service your system regularly could invalidate your warranty and leave you liable for repair or replacement costs.
Hinckley Plumbing & Heating’s engineers are qualified to service all major heat pump brands, and we provide a written service record after every visit so you always have documentation to hand.
When Should You Book a Service?
We recommend servicing your air source heat pump once a year, ideally in late summer or early autumn before the heating season begins. This ensures your system is in the best possible condition heading into the colder months.
You should also consider booking a check-up if you’ve noticed any of the following:
Reduced heating output or inconsistent temperatures
Higher electricity bills without increased usage
Unusual noises coming from the outdoor or indoor unit
The system taking longer than usual to reach temperature
Error codes or warning lights on your controller
Filter and Outdoor Unit Maintenance
Between annual services, there are a few simple checks that can help maintain performance. Keeping the area around your outdoor unit clear of debris, leaves, and obstructions ensures adequate airflow and prevents the system from working harder than it needs to. Hinckley Plumbing & Heating can advise you on basic between-service maintenance during your annual visit.
