Air Source Heat Pump Servicing Costs

[GasEngineer]

What are people paying for an annual Heat Pump service?

There is less to do than a gas boiler service but it seems that companies are charging more than a gas boiler service would cost (£80-£100).

Following, just because I'm interested in what goes into servicing an ASHP. Looks like a few squirts of wd40 and checking the bearings?

Have posted before
I was being charge north of £200 + vat annually to preserve the 3 year warranty.

Check glycol concentration
Remove covers and clean
Check functional operation

All in around 30 min of work when I watched the chap do it.

Ditched after one year, 5 years on, still working fine and I give it my own annual service.

I also know the glycol to be somewhere between 0 and 0.001% so don’t really need that confirming 😋


(Realistically, and I’ll get shot down for this.. You don’t need glycol if, outdoor pipes are well lagged, you run it in the winter, don’t leave it tuned off for extended periods when sub zero and have an alternative way of powering the circulation pumps in the event of ridiculously long power cut)

£108 per year for Octopus Cozy 6, water cylinder, piping and electrics.

It covers repairs, parts and annual service.

You wont get shot down for that by anyone who knows what theyre talking about... Glycol is a pain in the arse and much better ditched in favour of antifreeze valves. Less stress on the pump and the lack of glycol means lower viscosity which improves the all important flow rates.
