What's the cheapest way to run air source heating?

The best way to keep running costs low is to ensure your system is running at peak efficiency. This means it produces the maximum heat for the lowest amount of electricity. To do so, make sure your system is installed by a qualified engineer and serviced at least once a year.

Can you service a heat pump yourself?

No, heat pumps should only be serviced by a qualified engineer. Homeowners can do simple checks like clearing debris around the outdoor unit, but full servicing needs a professional.

How to clean your heat pump yourself?

Alongside an annual heat pump service, it's a good idea to keep on top of day-to-day maintenance. This includes:

• Wiping down the external casing regularly

• Removing any weeds growing around the pump

• Checking that no debris, such as leaves, are obstructing the system's airflow

For anything else, leave it to a qualified engineer. Attempting to clean the heat pump's internal parts yourself may cause expensive damage and invalidate your warranty.
