Heat Pump Servicing
Got a heat pump? Keep it running the way it should. Etta Plumbing now has two fully qualified engineers covering installation and maintenance of both air source and ground source heat pumps across Derby and the surrounding area. Whether it's an annual service, a fault you've noticed, or you're just not sure the system's performing as well as it should, we'll get it checked, serviced and running efficiently.
Why servicing matters?
A heat pump is a long-term investment. Regular servicing protects that investment, keeps running costs down and stops small issues turning into expensive repairs.
• Keeps your system running at peak efficiency, so you get the heat output you're paying for • Catches wear and refrigerant issues early, before they cause a breakdown
• Protects your manufacturer's warranty, which often requires proof of annual servicing
• Extends the working life of the unit
• Keeps energy bills predictable through the colder months
What's included in an Etta heat pump service
• Full visual and operational inspection of the heat pump unit and controls • Refrigerant pressure and performance checks
• Cleaning of filters, coils and outdoor unit components
• Electrical connection and safety checks
• For ground source systems: ground loop and circulation pump checks • Fault diagnosis and a clear, honest report on any recommended work
Air source or ground source, we cover both
Not sure which one you've got, or which one's right for a new install? Here's the short version.
Air Source Heat Pumps (ASHP)
✓ Draws heat from the outside air. Lower install cost, suits most homes and gardens.
✓ Outdoor unit needs clear airflow and periodic cleaning.
✓ Ideal where space for ground loops isn't available.
Ground Source Heat Pumps (GSHP)
✓ Draws heat from pipework buried in the ground. Higher upfront cost, very stable year-round efficiency.
✓ Ground loop and circulation pump need periodic checking rather than the unit itself.
✓ Ideal for larger plots, new builds, or where long-term running costs matter most.
Signs your heat pump needs a service
• Rooms take longer to heat up than they used to
• The unit is noisier than normal, or you hear unusual sounds
• Energy bills have crept up without an obvious reason
• It's been 12 months or more since the last service
• You've noticed ice, leaks, or the outdoor unit looking neglected
