Very soon, your tenants will reverse the cycle on their home heat pumps to provide refreshing cooling on long hot summer days. You must have these heat pumps serviced now to ensure they don’t let them down and put you in the hot seat. But be aware that every heat pump owner faces this challenge now, so servicing spots are filling up quickly.

While most of us are celebrating the return of spring and looking forward to the summer ahead, hayfever sufferers dread the potential bout of uncomfortable symptoms that come with the season.

Moisture encourages biological pollutants to grow. Inside the home, these can be harmful to the occupier. It also causes building materials to deteriorate, like windowsills which rot when condensation settles on them.

With the hot summer months fast approaching, it’s almost time to switch your heat pump from heating to cooling. But before you do, take the time to perform maintenance to ensure it continues to operate efficiently and doesn’t blast your energy costs through the roof. Make the season-change your prompt to organise a regular service.
