What Maintenance is Required?
Both Ground & Air source heat pumps require minimal maintenance, usually:
Annual check by a technician
Occasional filter cleaning
Keeping outdoor units clear of debris
Checking system pressure
They are generally lower maintenance than combustion boilers. Routine servicing helps maintain efficiency, protect warranties, and extend system lifespan. Many homeowners choose service plans for convenience and peace of mind.
Compared to oil or gas systems, maintenance is simpler and cleaner, with no flues, fuel deliveries, or combustion safety checks required.

Are Heat Pumps Noisy?
No. GSHPs are very quiet because most equipment is indoors and there is no outdoor fan unit like air source systems.
ASHPs produce some sound confirmation from the fan and compressor, but modern systems are designed to be quiet and compliant with UK planning standards.
Correct placement reduces noise impact.
Do They Work in Winter?
Yes. The ground temperature stays relatively stable year-round, allowing consistent performance even in cold weather.
Are They Environmentally Friendly?
Absolutely. Heat Pumps:
Reduce carbon emissions
Use renewable energy
Lower reliance on fossil fuels
They are a key technology for net-zero homes.
Do They Provide Hot Water?
Yes. Heat pumps can supply both heating and domestic hot water via a cylinder. Some systems also provide cool air during the summer months if required.
