Heat pumps are among the most reliable devices, capable of operating without faults for several decades. After installation by a specialized installation team, a heat pump is maintenance-free and requires only regular inspections, which are required to maintain the manufacturer’s warranty. Regular inspections also ensure the maximum efficiency of the heat pump over an extended period.

Despite their low failure rate, some heat pump components can become damaged. Most problems related to improper system functioning are caused by elements such as the heating system or the lower heat source. Additionally, failures are more common in heat pumps that draw energy from the ground, as they have a more complex system.
Kliwenta has been providing inspection, maintenance, and all types of repair services related to heat pumps for 10 years. To avoid more serious issues with the proper functioning of the system, we recommend our clients perform periodic heat pump inspections at least once a year. The most appropriate time for an inspection is just before the next heating season, allowing for the repair of any faults without causing discomfort to the building’s users.
To extend the lifespan of a heat pump, its inspection and maintenance should be entrusted only to specialists in this field. Kliwenta’s service technicians carry out the following heat pump maintenance tasks:
- Checking its efficiency. This is especially important in the first years of system operation, when it’s crucial to verify the installation’s functionality;
- Checking the tightness, pressure of the refrigeration system, and the entire installation;
- Inspection of filters, fans, and safety valves;
- Checking electrical connections, sensors, and fuses;
- Refilling the refrigerant level if needed;
- Checking the compressor’s operating parameters and the state of condensate and oil drainage in it;
- Cleaning the evaporator and mesh filter, whose contamination affects the energy consumption of the entire system, leading to higher maintenance costs;
- Preparation of a detailed report containing information about detected issues and recommendations for repairs and optimizations to improve the device’s efficiency;
Regular heat pump inspections are crucial to ensure its long and trouble-free operation. Additionally, maintenance checks help avoid problems such as reduced system efficiency or increased operating costs;
