Just like gas and oil boilers, heat pump systems require annual servicing. This ensures they continue to operate efficiently throughout their lifespan.
Regular maintenance is essential for maximising the performance of your heat pump and avoiding costly, unexpected repairs. Without proper care, even the most advanced systems can face issues. These issues can reduce efficiency and increase operating costs.
Heat pumps are a reliable, eco-friendly way to provide heating and hot water, but they are complex systems. They depend on proper maintenance to function at their best. Annual servicing is not just a recommendation—it’s crucial for meeting the standards set by various government schemes, such as the Boiler Upgrade Scheme (BUS) Grant.
These schemes require you to have regular servicing to ensure your system is operating efficiently and in line with their guidelines, which can help you maintain financial incentives over time.
Routine maintenance helps identify and address potential performance issues before they escalate and cause further issues. For example, your heat pump may begin relying more on the immersion heater. This can lead to increased electricity consumption and reduced efficiency. In turn this causes higher energy costs and a less environmentally friendly system, defeating the purpose of installing a heat pump in the first place.
