Heat Pump Servicing- Is it needed?
YES, YES & YES, Your heat pump is a complicated machine and although you can very easily clean the filters yourself and should do this regularly, Chris Odlum Electrical  highly recommends a proper service at least annually.  
By having your Heat pump unit serviced regularly the unit will run to its maximum efficiency like they are designed to do, have fewer defrost cycles meaning more heat when you need it most and stay smelling fresh. When everything is clean the compressor (The heart of your system) does not have to work so hard so there is less stress on the whole system and this will mean lower power consumption too.
