Heat Pump Servicing in Ireland — Every 2 Years, €150–€300, and What the Service Includes
On this page
Heat pump service: every 2 years, €150–€300. Check refrigerant, clean filters, test the heating curve, verify the flow temperature. First service at year 1, then every 2 years. The service is required for the SEAI heat pump grant and most warranties. Use a SEAI-registered installer. The service takes 1–2 hours. The result: efficient running and a longer-lasting heat pump. Most Irish heat pump manufacturers (Daikin, Mitsubishi, Samsung, LG) require a service every 2 years to keep the warranty valid. The SEAI heat pump grant is conditional on a post-work BER assessment; the ongoing service isn't a grant condition but is good practice.
