Signs Your Heat Pump Needs Repairing

Heat pumps are reliable, but they’re not invincible. If something’s not quite right, it’s usually your system’s way of telling you it needs a bit of attention. Here are a few of the more common signs that your heat pump needs repairing:

Unusual noises From Your Heat Pump

A well-running heat pump is pretty quiet. If you start hearing rattling, buzzing, or loud humming, there could be a loose part, debris in the fan, or a problem with the motor.

Poor heating or cooling

If your heat pump isn’t keeping the house warm in winter or cool in summer, something’s likely off. It could be a refrigerant issue, a thermostat fault, or airflow problems.

Constant running or short cycling

Your system shouldn’t be switching on and off all the time – or running non-stop. If it is, it might be struggling to maintain temperature, which often points to a fault.

Ice building up

A bit of frost on the outdoor unit isn’t unusual, but a thick layer of ice is. It can mean there’s a problem with the defrost cycle, and leaving it too long could damage the system.

Higher energy bills

If your heating bills suddenly shoot up for no clear reason, it could be down to your heat pump working harder than it should due to an underlying fault.

Why Regular Heat Pump Servicing Matters

Like any heating system, a heat pump works best when it’s looked after. An annual service keeps things running smoothly and helps catch small problems before they turn into big ones. Here’s why it’s worth keeping up with:

Keeps it running efficiently

Servicing clears out dust, checks the airflow, and makes sure everything’s set up properly – so your heat pump isn’t working harder than it needs to.

Extends its life

A well-maintained system lasts longer. Regular servicing helps prevent wear and tear, keeping the key components in good shape for years to come.

Saves you money on repairs

Spotting minor issues early can stop them from turning into expensive repairs. It’s often the small things – like a blocked filter or low refrigerant that lead to bigger faults if ignored.

Protects your warranty

Most manufacturers require regular servicing to keep your warranty valid. If something does go wrong, proof of service could save you the cost of a replacement.

Peace of mind

When the weather turns, you want your heating to just work. A quick annual check helps make sure your system’s ready for whatever winter throws at it.
