BSW can service all LPG, oil, gas boilers and Mitsubishi air source heat pumps. Regular servicing is very important for all heating appliances as it prolongs the life, helps with the efficiency and ultimately lowers the running costs. In addition to this, regular servicing is required to satisfy the warranty requirements of the manufacturer.
BSW recently serviced a Mitsubishi 300L unvented hot water storage cylinder and 14kW Ecodan air source heat pump. The service of the outdoor unit air source heat pump unit includes inspecting for oil leaks, checking the integrity of the external water pipework, including external insulation and inspecting the evaporator fins. The service of the internal unvented hot water cylinder and controls includes testing of the temperature and pressure safety valves, re-pressurisation of the expansion vessels and system controls and operation testing.
Upon arrival it was evident that garden weeds had taken over the area behind the heat pump and had actually made their way inside the unit from below. The weeds had entwined themselves around the compressor unit, which could have damaged the electronics inside and blocked the air flow to the heat pump, leading to a significant effect on the overall performance.
The heat pump was cleared of all debris and weeds, service completed and the customer shown how general housekeeping of the outdoor unit can help to maintain an efficient air source heat pump.
