Air Source Heat Pump Servicing
Regular servicing of your air source heat pump is essential to maintain its efficiency, longevity, and performance.
As experienced heating engineers, we offer comprehensive air source heat pump servicing that ensures your system operates at peak efficiency, reducing energy costs and minimising the risk of unexpected
breakdowns.
Our expert technicians meticulously inspect, clean, and adjust key components, ensuring optimal heat transfer and system reliability.
By scheduling routine maintenance with us, you’ll not only extend the lifespan of your heat pump but also contribute to a more sustainable and energy-efficient home.
What to expect from a Heat Pump Service
- Inspection of the Heat Pump Unit: Thoroughly examining all components for signs of wear, damage, or corrosion.
- Cleaning of Coils and Fins: Removing dirt and debris from the heat exchanger coils and fins to maintain efficient heat transfer.
- Check Glycol or Inhibitor levels: Ensuring the levels are correct to maximise efficiency and performance
- Verification of System Pressure and Temperature: Checking system pressure and temperature readings to ensure they are within the manufacturer’s recommended ranges.
- Inspection of Electrical Connections: Checking all electrical connections for safety and ensuring they are tight and secure.
- Performance Testing: Running the heat pump to evaluate its performance and identify any potential operational issues.
Solar thermal benefits
Hot water throughout the year: the system works all year round, though you’ll need to heat the water further with a boiler or immersion heater during the winter months.
Cut your bills: sunlight is free, so once you’ve paid for the initial installation your hot water costs will be reduced.
Cut your carbon footprint: solar hot water is a green, renewable heating system and can reduce your carbon dioxide emissions.
Solar Thermal
How does solar thermal work?
Solar hot water or solar thermal are the two terms used to describe a solar system that uses the sun’s energy to heat water. This hot water is then simply pumped to your cylinder and used in the normal way. In the UK, a typical solar thermal system can supply up to 70% of a household’s hot water requirement.
A solar panel mounted on the roof concentrates the sun’s energy throughout the day and efficiently uses that energy to heat water which is pumped into your cylinder. In the brighter summer months, enough heat can be generated to supply most of the hot water your family will need.
In the darker winter months, although the system is still able to generate some heat, it really functions as a way of pre-heating the water in your cylinder so that you don’t have to use quite as much gas/ oil or electricity
to bring that water up to the full temperature you normally operate at.
We can fully assess your needs and carry out a comprehensive survey to ensure that the appropriate system is fitted. The solar hot water system will be efficiently integrated with any auxiliary water heating sources to gain the greatest benefit.
