Why are Air Source Heat Pumps Considered to have Relatively Low Maintenance Costs?
Air source heat pumps operate at temperatures significantly lower than traditional gas boilers and have fewer moving parts, resulting in generally lower maintenance costs. Furthermore, they have a longer lifespan, approximately 20 years, while gas boilers typically need replacement after 10 to 15 years.
According to environmental experts, servicing an air source heat pump costs around £200 (the exact cost depends on the company you choose and the size of the pump).
Most air source heat pumps come with a standard warranty, but annual system maintenance is usually required to keep the warranty valid.
The most important part of maintaining an air source heat pump is keeping it clean and ensuring unobstructed airflow.
