Benchmark Commissioning &
Warranty Validation Service Record
It is a requirement that the heat pump is installed and commissioned to the
manufacturers’ instructions and the data fields on the commissioning checklist
completed in full.
To instigate the warranty the heat pump needs to be registered with the
manufacturer within one month of the installation. The warranty rests with the
end-user (consumer), and they should be made aware it is ultimately their
responsibility to register with the manufacturer, within the allotted time period.
It is essential that the heat pump is serviced in line with the manufacturers’
recommendations, at least annually. This must be carried out by a competent,
certified operative
. The service details should be recorded on the Benchmark
Service and Interim Heat Pump Work Record and left with the householder. Failure
to comply with the manufacturers’ servicing instructions and requirements will
invalidate the warranty.
This Commissioning Checklist is to be completed in full by the competent person who commissioned the heat pump and associated
equipment as a means of demonstrating compliance with the appropriate Building Regulations and then handed to the customer to keep for
future reference.
Failure to install and commission according to the manufacturers’ instructions and complete this Benchmark Commissioning Checklist will invalidate the
warranty. This does not affect the customer’s statutory rights.
