Are there any recommended heatpump engineers in Swindon?  My 10 yr old husky heatpump has a failed circulation pump that needs replacing.  The pump is located within the outdoor heatpump unit and appears to be seized, it gets extremely hot when the unit tries to heat the DHW tank and then the system shuts down to protect itself. I know that Husky went out of business years ago and the unit is obsolete, but this is just a standard WILO water pump thats failed.  Id do it myself, but removal of the old pump will mean draining the system down as there are no isolation valves in the circuit that I can see. 

Pump details: Wilo 78/70(151w) RS25/8 (see pic)

Sorry I can't but ... it sounds like a job any half decent plumber could do.  Probably they won't though!


4kW peak of solar PV since 2011; EV and a 1930s house which has been partially renovated to improve its efficiency. 7kW Vaillant heat pump.
