Air Source Heat Pumps

Heat pumps work by extracting environmental energy (air, water or heat from the ground) which is then converted using a refrigerant inside the heat pump to generate heating and hot water for your home.They are a more efficient method of heating your home compared to gas boilers but similarly to boilers, heat pumps still require a service. All checks on a heat pump should be carried out by a Zetta qualified heating engineer.In this guide we are going to explain the importance of having your heat pump serviced and what a service includes..

Why should I get my heat pump serviced?

Having your Heat Pump serviced can help the longevity of the heat pump. On average, a heat pump can work for at least 15 years. However, a well maintained heat pump could operate efficiently for up to 20-25+ years.During the service, the engineer will check the efficiency and performance of your heat pump to ensure the system is working correctly and delivering the desired comfort levels to your home.A heat pump service will ensure the validity of your warranty.

Solar Thermal

There are a range of technologies which transform the energy from the sun into hot water. In Ireland, the most common technologies are solar thermal collectors, or solar hot water collectors. These devices capture solar energy and transfer it to heat water. The amount of water supplied by solar thermal collectors depends on the system size and building hot water demand. Typical well-installed systems provide up to 60% of hot water demand over 12 months. Solar thermal collectors can also meet some portion of space heating demand, although typically this is very small.

Why should I get my solar thermal system serviced?

Just like your car or any other mechanical equipment, servicing on a regular basis is essential. There are components within a system such as moving parts and valves that must be kept in optimum working order. With regular maintenance, your solar thermal system will be safe, efficient, running costs will be kept to a minimum and generate the maximum amount of renewable heat. A well-serviced and maintained system will also have a longer life-span. We would therefore recommend that you get your solar thermal system servicing at least once a year.

What does a solar thermal system service include?

During a standard solar thermal servicing our engineers work through a checklist to ensure that the system is performing correctly. It includes nine checks on the solar circuit and a variety of other electrical checks, checks on the pipe-work and insulation, examinations of the controller’s parameters, wiring and functionality and analysis of the cylinder’s position, controls and potential leaks.
