Before you book: heat pump servicing in Northwich
Whoever installed your heat pump, aftercare can be arranged in Northwich. Tell us the make and model and roughly how old it is, and we will set out what the visit involves before you book.
Heat pumps in Northwich that sit near trees or hedges often need their outdoor coil cleared of leaves at the annual service. Homes in Northwich and across Cheshire can book servicing at a time of year that suits them, ideally before winter.
An annual service keeps a heat pump running efficiently, catches small faults early and is often a condition of the manufacturer's warranty.
- Heat pumps installed by another company that need a new servicing arrangement
- Landlords who need dated service records for each property
- Homes where running costs have crept up or rooms feel cooler than before
What's included
- Cleaning of the outdoor unit coil, fan area and condensate drain
- Glycol or antifreeze protection test where fitted
- Controls and error log check, with settings adjusted where needed
- Refrigerant circuit checks on split systems by an F-gas certified engineer
- A dated service record for your warranty and property files
Landlords in Northwich can arrange servicing for several properties, with a dated record for each.
Grants and rules for heat pumps in England
Homes in Northwich 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.

Heat pump servicing in Northwich: questions
Can you work on a heat pump in Northwich that someone else installed?
Yes. We arrange servicing and repairs for most air source heat pumps in Northwich, whoever fitted them. Tell us the make and model when you get in touch.
What should I check before booking a visit in Northwich?
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.
How much does a visit cost in Northwich?
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.
Can you service a split system?
Yes. Split systems have refrigerant pipes running between the outdoor unit and an indoor unit, and checks on that refrigerant circuit must be done by an F-gas certified engineer. We arrange the service so a suitably certified engineer attends. The water side, controls and cylinder are checked in the same visit, just as on a monobloc system.
How often should a heat pump be serviced?
Once a year is the usual recommendation for air source heat pumps, and many manufacturers require it as a warranty condition. An annual visit cleans filters and strainers, checks pressures and controls, and tests the unvented cylinder's safety devices. If you notice a drop in performance, unusual noises or repeated error codes between services, arrange a visit sooner.
