Why Regular Heat Pump Servicing is Important

Regular heat pump servicing isn't just a recommendation—it's essential for maintaining optimal performance and preventing costly breakdowns. A well-maintained heat pump can operate at peak efficiency, potentially reducing your energy bills by up to 25%.

Professional servicing includes:

Comprehensive system inspection and cleaning
Performance testing and efficiency monitoring
Refrigerant level checks and leak detection
Electrical connection testing
Airflow measurement and optimisation
Thermostat calibration and programming verification

Common Issues with Heat Pumps

At Scarlet Heating & Renewables, we regularly encounter several heat pump issues that can affect system performance:

Stuck Reversing Valve

This component controls the direction of refrigerant flow, enabling switching between heating and cooling modes. When stuck, your system may be locked in one mode, requiring professional intervention.

Defrost Control Problems

In cold weather, ice can accumulate on the outdoor unit. A malfunctioning defrost control system fails to remove this ice, significantly reducing efficiency and potentially damaging the unit.

Short-Cycling

When your heat pump turns on and off frequently, it's short-cycling. This issue often stems from incorrect sizing, thermostat problems, or refrigerant issues. Left unchecked, it can lead to component failure and increased energy consumption.

Refrigerant Leaks

Low refrigerant levels due to leaks cause reduced heating capacity, higher energy bills, and potential compressor damage. Our engineers use specialist equipment to detect and repair leaks promptly.
