Before you book: heat pump servicing in Peterborough
A heat pump that is serviced and set up properly keeps running efficiently for many years. Many heat pump faults trace back to settings, low pressure or a worn part rather than the heat pump itself, and those can usually be put right.
We service heat pumps in Peterborough whoever installed them, including monobloc and split systems. Heat pumps in Peterborough that sit near trees or hedges often need their outdoor coil cleared of leaves at the annual service.
An annual service keeps a heat pump running efficiently, catches small faults early and is often a condition of the manufacturer's warranty.
- Landlords who need dated service records for each property
- Heat pumps installed by another company that need a new servicing arrangement
- Heat pumps a year or more past installation
What's included
- Unvented cylinder safety checks and legionella cycle check
- Controls and error log check, with settings adjusted where needed
- Magnetic filter and strainer clean, with system pressure topped up
- Cleaning of the outdoor unit coil, fan area and condensate drain
- A dated service record for your warranty and property files
Landlords in Peterborough can arrange servicing for several properties, with a dated record for each.
Grants and rules for heat pumps in England
Homes in Peterborough can use the Boiler Upgrade Scheme, which takes £7,500 off the cost of an air source heat pump when it replaces fossil-fuel or electric heating. Replacing oil or LPG heating qualifies for £9,000 for installations from 21 July 2026 to 31 March 2027, and air-to-air systems for £2,500. The MCS-certified installer named in your quote applies for the grant and deducts it from the price.

Designing for Peterborough's winters
Peterborough has about 7 hours 38 minutes of daylight at midwinter and 16 hours 51 minutes at midsummer. That swing matters if you pair a heat pump with solar panels: summer generation can cover much of the hot water, winter generation far less.

Heat pump servicing in Peterborough: questions
What should I check before booking a visit in Peterborough?
Note any error code on the controller, check the system pressure gauge if you have one, and make sure the outdoor unit is clear of leaves or snow. Photos of the unit and controller help.
Do you also cover Whittlesey?
Yes. We arrange heat pump servicing and repairs in Whittlesey, which is about 5 miles east of Peterborough, and across Cambridgeshire.
How much does a visit cost in Peterborough?
The rate for a service or fault-finding visit is agreed before anyone attends. Any repair is priced in writing before parts are ordered, so you decide before work goes ahead.
How much does a heat pump service cost?
An annual heat pump service has a guide price of £120–£250, including VAT. Where your price sits depends on the type of system, whether it is a split system needing refrigerant checks and whether an unvented cylinder is included. Any parts or repairs found during the service are explained and priced before any work goes ahead.
What does a heat pump service not include?
A service covers inspection, cleaning, testing and adjustment. It does not include replacement parts, major repairs, system flushing or radiator changes, which are quoted separately if needed. If the engineer finds a fault, they explain what it is, what it would cost to fix and whether it needs doing now or can wait.
