As we welcome the milder months, spring often prompts us to get things back in order around the house. Whether it's tidying up the garden ready for BBQ season or just having a good clear out, we're energised to get things done by the change in season.
We believe you should make sure your heat pump is top of that list!
At EnviroRight Renewables Ltd, our owner and engineer has spent over 16 years specialising in the servicing and maintenance of heat pumps across Dorset, Hampshire, and Wiltshire. When it comes to looking after heat pump systems his advice is 'be proactive, not reactive'.
We have serviced many heat pumps and completed countless call outs, maintenance and repair jobs. What we often find is customers have run into an issue, only to find their heat pump installer doesn't take care of the service or maintenance side of things. With a heat pump skills shortage persisting across the UK, it's not always easy to find a reliable engineer quickly and customers can end up waiting weeks for problems to be resolved.
In all honesty, we think anytime is a good time for a service, but here’s why spring is a particuarly smart time to book your heat pump service — and what makes our approach a little different.
☀️ 1. Your Heat Pump Has Just Worked Through Winter
Winter is when your heat pump does the heavy lifting! It's kept your home warm and your hot water flowing efficiently. After months of continuous use, it’s not unusual for:
Filters to clog
Coils to become dirty
Refrigerant levels to drop
Outdoor units to collect debris
Spring is the perfect time to give it a thorough check-over before smaller issues turn into bigger problems.
🔄 2. Get Ready for the Summer Switch with a Heat Pump Service
If you have an air-to-air system or your heat pump supports cooling, you’ll soon be switching from heating to cooling mode. That transition puts a different demand on the system.
A spring service ensures:
The refrigerant is at the correct level for efficient cooling
Your system switches smoothly between modes
Your energy bills stay low through summer
Want to know more about using a heat pump for cooling? We can check and advise on the suitability of your heat pump for cooling during your annual heat pump service or as part of a heat pump call out.
🧰 3. Better Timing = More Flexibility
Come autumn, everyone starts thinking about heating again. Engineers’ diaries fill up fast. Spring can be a little quieter meaning:
More availability to suit your schedule
No need to wait weeks for an appointment
Less stress if any part replacements or tweaks are needed
It’s also one less thing to think about when life picks up again in the autumn. What we want you to avoid is a last minute realisation that you need an expert, only to find you have to wait weeks for them to be available.
👨🔧 Why Choose EnviroRight Renewables for a Heat Pump Service?
We’re not just here to install a system and walk away. In fact, most of our customers find us after installation, when they realise how important ongoing servicing and system care really is.
Here’s what makes us different:
✅ 16+ years of hands-on experience in heat pump engineering
✅ Specialists in heat pump servicing and maintenance — not just installation
✅ F-Gas certified
✅ Trusted by homeowners across Dorset, Hampshire, and Wiltshire
✅ Relied on by the profession as a trusted heat pump sub-contractor
We care about doing the job properly, from the first check to the final test. Servicing your heat pump with a qualified heat pump engineer isn’t just about ticking a box... it’s about protecting your investment, your efficiency, and your peace of mind. Unlike general plumbers or electricians, certified heat pump engineers understand the specific requirements of these systems, from refrigerant handling (F-Gas regulations) to system pressure balancing and controller diagnostics.
We offer a robust service that includes:
Full heating health check
A full service of one heat pump system, including hot water cylinder
A 43 component part inspection
An engineers report and service record
We like to be upfront, so we always make it clear what isn't included. It may sound obvious but this price does not include any remedial work or replacement parts, if an issue is found during your service. This price includes one heat pump unit only, so if you have multiple units, you just need to let us know for a bespoke quotation.
Our 2025 price for a full Heat Pump Service is just £140. We cover most parts of Dorset, Hampshire & Wiltshire, so get in touch today to book yours in!
Skipping your annual service or using someone without the right credentials can lead to reduced efficiency, higher energy bills, poor heating performance, and even premature system failure. Common issues from lack of servicing include clogged filters, dirty heat exchangers, low refrigerant levels, water leaks, sensor faults, and noisy operation — all of which can be caught early during routine maintenance. A qualified engineer ensures your system runs safely, smoothly, and at its best year-round
If you have a heat pump fault, and error code or your heat pump isn't working, you can book an engineer to come and complete an annual service and diagnostics at the same time. Alternatively we offer a call out service, with more details availble on our 'Services' page.
🔧 Final Thoughts
Whether you had your system installed last year or several winters ago, spring is the smart time to show your heat pump some love. A quick service now could save you hundreds later — and extend the life of your system significantly.
If you’ve been putting it off, or aren’t sure when your last service was, we’re here to help.
