What a service covers
A service cleans the filters, the fan and the indoor coil, checks the airflow, cleans the outdoor coil and clears around the outdoor unit, and checks that it heats as it should. A yearly service is the recommended rhythm, and before winter is the time to catch a small problem before the first cold snap finds it.
Between services, clean the filter once a month through winter: it’s the simplest thing you can do to keep the heat coming.
When it plays up
Not heating, blowing cold, dripping, louder than it was, frequent defrosts on cold mornings, or an error light that won’t clear: tell Riley what it’s doing and the model on the label, and he’ll tell you what it’s likely to be. A unit that keeps needing gas has a leak to find, and an R22 unit is made for that one refrigerant.
Repair or replace?
Some faults are worth fixing. Others, on an older unit, cost a good share of a new one and leave you with the same old unit. Riley prices both where it’s close, so you can choose.
What it’s doing, and what it points to
| What you’re seeing | What it points to |
|---|---|
| Weak airflow, a musty smell | A service and clean |
| Dripping inside | A blocked drain: a service |
| Frequent defrosts on cold mornings | A service, and a check that it’s big enough for the room |
| An error light that keeps coming back | A fault to price, and a replacement price beside it on an older unit |
| Loud, slow and old | Time to replace it |

Questions
Another question? Call 0800 166 024, or ask it in the quote form.
How often should a heat pump be serviced?
Once a year is the recommended rhythm, and before winter is a good time. In between, clean the filter once a month through winter.
Why does the outdoor unit stop and steam?
On cold, damp mornings it pauses to defrost the outdoor coil, and a puff of vapour as it starts heating again is normal. Several defrosts in an hour or two are the sign it needs a service or is too small for the room.
Can you fix my heat pump?
Tell Riley what it’s doing and the model on the label. He’ll tell you what it’s likely to be, and whether a repair is worth it.
Which brands do you service?
Daikin, Panasonic, Mitsubishi, Haier and Toshiba. For another brand, ask Riley.
Should I just replace it?
If it’s old and the fault is a big one, often yes. Riley prices both where it’s close.
