Why an ASHP needs a different kind of service

An air source heat pump has more moving parts working together than a gas boiler — an outdoor unit exposed to the weather, a refrigerant circuit, electronic controls, and usually a hot water cylinder working alongside it. A service is not just a five-minute check; it covers the electrical, mechanical and control sides of the system so that nothing is quietly losing efficiency without you noticing on the bill.

What a service includes

• Outdoor unit inspection — clearing debris, checking the coil is clean and airflow is not restricted
• Condensate drainage checked and cleared
• Electrical connections and isolators inspected
• System pressure and flow checked against the manufacturer's figures
• Controls, programmer and any zone valves tested
• Defrost cycle checked so the unit is not working harder than it needs to in cold weather
• Filters cleaned or replaced where fitted
• Written report so you can see how the system is performing year on year

Where the job involves the sealed refrigerant circuit itself, that work is carried out by an F-Gas certified contractor rather than in-house — we will confirm this with you at booking if your system needs it.

Why servicing matters more with an ASHP, not less

An air source heat pump is usually the single biggest-ticket heating system in a home, and running costs are far more sensitive to small faults than a gas boiler's are — a coil half-blocked with leaves, or a system running a few degrees below its design flow temperature, shows up directly as a higher electricity bill rather than an obvious symptom. Annual servicing is also frequently a condition of the manufacturer's warranty and any government incentive scheme the installation was registered under, so skipping it can be an expensive false economy.

Emergency repair — from £150

£150 covers the first hour of diagnosis and labour if your ASHP has stopped heating, is showing a fault code, has iced up and not defrosted, or will not start at all. Once we know what's wrong you get the full repair price, including any parts, before we carry on.

Common faults we see

• Outdoor unit iced up and not defrosting — often a fan, sensor or defrost-cycle fault rather than anything more serious
• System running but the house isn't warming up — usually a flow temperature or controls setting issue, sometimes simple to correct
• Fault code on the display — we read this against the manufacturer's diagnostics before touching anything
• Unit short-cycling or unusually noisy — can point to a refrigerant, airflow or electrical issue
• No power to the unit — isolator, fuse or wiring fault, checked before assuming anything more serious

Air source, across Birmingham and the Black Country

We service and repair air source heat pumps — by far the most common type installed across the West Midlands, mounted outside the property with no digging or ground loop required. If you're not sure what system you have, a photo of the outdoor unit's data plate is usually enough for us to confirm before we arrive.

Prices

The £220 service is the price for the job as described. The "from" repair price is a starting point, and parts and refrigerant circuit work are quoted and agreed with you before any work starts. No travel charge within 10 miles of B20 2JS; further out, £2 per mile may apply, agreed before booking. How our prices work.
