Heat Pump Servicing, Maintenance & Repairs
Fewer moving parts and long guarantees make heat pumps more cost-effective to service and maintain than traditional heating systems. Geo Green Power recommend an annual heat pump servicing for air-source heat pumps (ASHP) and ground-source heat pump (GSHP) systems to ensure that they run efficiently. Heat pump maintenance is rarely required outside of this annual health check and you can expect a well-maintained system to run effectively for at least 20 – 30 years.
Heat Pump Servicing
We recommend an annual service to ensure that your heat pump is running at its best and to maintain product warranties.
We offer service and maintenance for all our heat pump system installations and customers are automatically contacted 12 months after installation for their first annual check.
Our team is fully qualified to work on all renewable heating systems and we regularly undertake service and maintenance work on systems that we did not install.

Top Tips: Looking after your heat pump
Check for any leakages:
Although condensation is common, if you notice any considerable amounts of water or a clear leak then that indicates there is an issue somewhere with your pump.
Ensure your heat pump is receiving adequate airflow:
Heat pumps need their space! Ensure yours is in an area with plenty of breathing room and nothing covering it.
Clean & change filters:
The best way to ensure a long life for your heat pump is to keep it clean, as well as check and change the filters as needed.
Check for snow or ice:
During the winter, check your heat pump for any snow or ice build-up, as this can reduce the efficiency of your pump.
Verify thermostat sensors are working properly:
Keeping an eye on the temperature of your heat pump and ensuring the thermostat is accurate is a great way to look after your pump quickly and easily.
Heat pump problems and what to do
If your heat pump system is not working properly it will usually show a fault on your display. If this is a minor fault a reset should be able to fix the issue without any further action required. You should also check the heating pressure gauge, and if this is low use the filling loop to top the pressure up. Most systems require pressure to be set at 1.5 bar, but it is always best to check your Operations and Maintenance Manual.
If a fault appears regularly or you’re experiencing other issues with your heat pump, such as leaks, mechanical issues (such as a compressor or soft start failure), blocked filters, pressure alarm faults, or problems within the ground collector, such as air or lack of fluid, you will need an engineer to investigate and fix the problem. You should also contact an engineer if you are regularly being alerted to minor or recurring faults on the system display.
Heat Pump Repair for Breakdowns
Generally, repair and maintenance will be minimal for heat pumps as they have very few moving parts. Plus, Grade 1 manufacturers have a long life span so it is unlikely you’ll ever need a replacement.
However, if you think there is an issue, all repair work will have to be surveyed to identify which unit has become faulty; a system inspection will identify which units need replacing. We will quickly be able to quote for the required works and carry out these upon your request.
How do I know when my heat pump needs replacing?
Heat pump units have an expected longer lifespan than traditional boilers due to fewer moving parts; and if they are well maintained that could be as long as 25-30 years. If your unit is coming to the end of its life it’s likely that this will have been identified during its regular service or if you begin to experience regular faults. Your unit will need replacing if it’s becoming too costly to maintain or if required parts are no longer available on the market which is sometimes the case with older models.
Does a heat pump need to be serviced?
Yes, we recommend an annual service to ensure that parts like filters are checked and cleaned; this ensures that more significant issues don’t occur in the future and that the unit remains within manufacturers’ warranties.
How much does it cost to service a heat pump?
This depends on the size of your system. We service domestic systems from £249 + VAT.
