Heat Pump Association Launches Annual Service Checklists for Air, Ground and Water to Water Heat Pumps

The Heat Pump Association (HPA) has launched new Air, Ground and Water to Water Heat Pump Annual Service Checklists, developed by the HPA’s Technical Working Group. These checklists outline the recommended minimum annual service checks for heat pump systems, providing valuable guidance for those working in the sector.

The checklists are designed to be a resource for situations where manufacturer-specific guidance on service and maintenance checks is unavailable. Whilst not intended to replace manufacturer guidelines, the HPA checklists are a useful reference point for reviewing the effective operation and longevity of air to water, ground and water source heat pumps. By outlining fundamental service practices, these aim to enhance consistency and reliability across the sector.

Commenting on the release, Tony Lathey, Chair of the HPA Technical Working Group said: “The Heat Pump Association is committed to improving standards and providing clear, practical guidance to the sector. These annual service checklists are the result of collaborative efforts from leading industry experts. They set a baseline for best practices, supporting installers in servicing and maintaining hydronic heat pumps effectively, in the absence of manufacturer-specific guidance.”

This initiative is part of the HPA’s ongoing efforts to support the sector as it is scaled up to meet the increasing demand for low-carbon heating solutions. With heat pumps playing a pivotal role in the transition to net zero, maintaining these systems to a high standard is critical to ensuring their efficiency, performance, and reliability.
