Heat pumps have become a popular and essential part of many home heating systems throughout Ireland. But as a new component to your home, you may not be sure when or how to service your heat pump.
Heat pumps require maintenance to ensure they operate efficiently and safely. In this article, Fit My Boiler will discuss heat pump servicing, why and when necessary, and the benefits of a professional heat pump service.
Why is Heat Pump Servicing Required?
Heat pumps have complex mechanical and electrical components that can wear out or malfunction over time.
Without proper maintenance, the performance of your heat pump will deteriorate. This will result in underperformance and a higher energy cost. Something we bet you want to avoid with a new heating system.
But like any essential home comfort, heat pumps require servicing and maintenance to ensure longevity. Therefore, it’s crucial to service your heat pump regularly.
Servicing reduces costly repairs, ensures long-term performance and allows heat pump servicing professionals to identify issues.
Signs that indicate your heat pump requires servicing:
Although we recommend regular servicing, if you notice any of these issues with your heat pump, call Fit My Boiler ASAP.
- Strange noises like rattling or grinding may suggest a loose or damaged component
- Reduced heating or cooling. This may indicate a refrigerant leak, dirty filters, or a malfunctioning compressor
- Higher energy bills indicate that your heat pump is not operating efficiently and consuming more electricity
- Inconsistent airflow, such as weak or no air output from your vents
- Or simply time. Ask your heat pump manufacturer or professional installer when the most optimum time is to service your heat pump.
If you schedule regular servicing, you will avoid costly repairs and damage to your unit. Yearly serving is best.

Why Should You Not Service Your Heat Pump Yourself?
While some homeowners may be tempted to service their heat pumps, it’s not recommended. Here’s why:
Safety: Heat pumps contain high-voltage electrical components that can be dangerous if improperly handled. Also, refrigerant leaks can pose health hazards and attempting to fix them without proper training and equipment can be risky.
Warranty: Most heat pump manufacturers require professional servicing to keep the warranty valid. Attempting to service your heat pump yourself could void the warranty and leave you liable for expensive repairs or replacement costs.
Attempting to service or repair your heating and plumbing systems can lead to more harm than good. It’s better to leave it to professionals with vast experience and knowledge of your home heating system.
A professional team such as those at Fit My Boiler can work to your schedule.
The Benefits of a Regular Heat Pump Service:
They keep energy costs low: Heat pumps operating at optimum capacity will ensure minimal energy costs. Faulty units will require far more energy to convert the air in your home to warm or cool air. Heat pumps are a great addition to all modern homes, so it’s essential to have them functioning at their best.
Avoid costly repair: A regular heat pump service allows minor issues to be fixed quickly and within budget. Heat pump professionals can identify problems early, clean your units, and minimise repairs. However, if significant faults occur, you could be paying to repair or replace the units in your home.
Better comfort: There is comfort in knowing your units are protected and working with regular servicing. Enjoy the comfort of your heat pump, knowing that it has been taken care of by a professional team.
