A Heat Pump Is Part of a Wider System
A reported heat-pump problem does not always originate inside the heat-pump unit.
Air-to-water systems can depend on:
For that reason, Ecofix does not assume that the most obvious component is necessarily the cause.
A discussion of symptoms is not a diagnosis.
And:
Repair the cause, not just the symptom.
♢
How Ecofix Approaches a Fault
1. Listen to the symptoms
Information about fault codes, operating behaviour and recent history helps establish where investigation should begin.
2. Inspect and test
Relevant equipment and associated components are assessed in a logical sequence.
3. Establish the evidence
The aim is to distinguish:
reported symptom → observed condition → test result → diagnosis
4. Explain the findings
The customer is told what has been established, what remains uncertain where applicable, and the recommended next step.
5. Agree further work
Where parts or further repair work are required, the scope and estimate are discussed before significant additional work proceeds.

Routine Servicing
A routine heat-pump service provides an opportunity to assess accessible equipment, review system operation and identify signs of deterioration or abnormal performance.
The exact service depends on:
Every routine heat-pump service receives a structured Ecofix service record.

♢
Repairs After Diagnosis
Where a fault is sufficiently established, Ecofix can recommend an appropriate repair.
Depending on the job, the process may include:
Parts normally require payment before ordering.
No significant additional repair work should proceed without customer agreement.

Frequently asked questions
Do you install complete air source heat-pump systems?
No. Ecofix Scotland currently concentrates on servicing, fault diagnosis and repairs rather than complete new heat-pump installation.
♢
Which types of heat pump do you work on?
Suitable air-to-water and air-to-air heat pumps.
Ground-source heat pumps are currently outside the service scope.
♢
Can you diagnose the fault over the telephone?
Symptoms and fault information can be discussed, but a reliable diagnosis normally requires inspection and testing.
♢
Do you work on heat pumps installed by another company?
Yes, suitable systems may be accepted subject to their type, condition, accessibility, technical information and the required work being within Ecofix’s competence.
♢
Can you work on the hot-water cylinder and controls?
Suitable associated hot-water cylinders, controls, sensors, pumps, valves and other relevant components may be assessed where they form part of the heat-pump system and the work falls within scope.
♢
Do you support manufacturers not listed in your training record?
Potentially, yes.
The manufacturer-training list records formal courses completed. It is not an exclusive list of every brand that may be supported.
