System Service and Maintenance
Regular servicing of your Air Source Heat Pump and Air Conditioning System is essential for efficiency, longevity, and reliability. It helps prevent breakdowns, lower energy costs, and ensures compliance with manufacturer warranty and incentives.
WHY SERVICING MATTERS:
- Efficiency: Maintains optimal performance and reduces utility bills.
- Longevity: Extends the heat pump's lifespan.
- Preventative Maintenance: Detects issues early to avoid costly repairs.
- Warranty Compliance: Keeps warranties valid with required service reports.
- Health and Safety: Improves indoor air quality by removing bacteria and odours.
The annual servicing of an Air Source Heat Pump or an Air Conditioning system is more than just the cleaning of the outside unit, it involves a thorough inspection and maintenance of the system to ensure its efficient and safe operation. This typically includes checks for refrigerant levels, leaks, electrical components, filters, and overall system performance. Regular servicing, ideally conducted annually, can extend the lifespan of the heat pump and minimize potential issues.
Our annual service visit includes the following:
Visual Checks:
A technician will inspect the unit for signs of damage, leaks or debris.
Refrigerant Check:
Refrigerant levels are examined in split systems and topped up if necessary. Leaks are identified and repaired to prevent refrigerant loss.
Electrical Checks:
The electrical components, including the fuses, thermostat, thermistors, and control panel, are checked for proper functionality.
Filter Inspection and Cleaning:
Filters are inspected for clogging and are cleaned or replaced to ensure optimal airflow.
Pressure and Valve Checks:
Pressure levels and the functionality of valves are assessed.
Component Inspection:
The exterior unit fan, pumps, and other major components are examined for wear and tear.
System Performance:
The overall efficiency and temperature regulation of the system are evaluated.
Advice and Recommendations:
Guidance on proper use and maintenance may be provided by the technician.
Why Servicing is Important:
Efficiency:
Regular servicing ensures the heat pump operates efficiently, saving energy and costs.
Safety:
Checks for leaks, electrical issues, and proper operation of components ensure the safety of the system and users.
Longevity:
Servicing can help prolong the lifespan of the heat pump by identifying and addressing potential problems early.
Preventative Maintenance:
Servicing can help prevent costly repairs or breakdowns in the future.
Frequency:
Most heat pumps benefit from annual servicing. Some manufacturers recommend more frequent servicing, particularly in areas with harsh weather conditions.
