The Importance of Regular Maintenance

IVT Heat Pumps are known for their reliability. However, as with any piece of mechanical equipment, regular maintenance is very important to ensure that your heat pump continues to operate at optimum efficiency.

IVT Warranty

IVT Ground Source Heat Pump Service

Not only do all heat pump manufacturers stipulate that regular maintenance is a condition of the warranty, but if you are receiving payments under the Government’s Renewable Heat Incentive (“RHI”), one of your responsibilities is to ensure that your heat pump is in “good working order”. This means maintaining your renewable technology in line with manufacturers’ requirements.

Regular maintenance of your heat pump can decrease the chances of faults developing on your heat pump. In addition to our engineers giving the unit a clean bill of health, we will also spend time on site with you to run through all the settings to ensure the heat pump is running at its highest efficiency.

We have put together an FAQ of the most commonly asked questions at the bottom of this blog for your information.
