Last week, one of our customers called us out to repair an Air Source Heat Pump that had caught fire.
We sent our team of technicians out and were able to repair and reset the system within 24 hours, ensuring that the residents had the minimum disruption to their service.
The Heat Pump was installed around ten years ago by a different company under a set of safety regulations that are no longer fit for purpose.
Over the last decade, Heat Pump technology and regulations have improved significantly in terms of performance and safety.
Doing a little preventative maintenance annually, can help keep your Heat Pump running efficiently, keep your energy bills as low as possible.
Your wiring and cable size needs to be checked to make sure it is correct for the size of the heat pump. Make sure the Residual Current Device (RCD) is the correct capacity. Check the functionality of your heat pumps inverter, as that is what caused the fire in this case.
Your Heat Pump is outside in all weathers 24 hours per day, and that can cause wear and tear on your system.
We recommend that you do an annual inspection of your Heat Pump every year, including:
We would recommend having your inspections done by a qualified and MCS registered company as you can guarantee that they are fully aware of the latest legislation and safety guidelines.
If you need help finding one, email or call us.
