Before you book: heat pump servicing in Bude
Aftercare matters as much as installation. For a heat pump in Bude the visit checks the outdoor unit, the water circuit and the controls, and the engineer explains any settings that would help the system run more efficiently.
We service heat pumps in Bude whoever installed them, including monobloc and split systems. Homes in Bude and across Cornwall 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 a year or more past installation
- Homes where running costs have crept up or rooms feel cooler than before
- Landlords who need dated service records for each property
What's included
- Controls and error log check, with settings adjusted where needed
- Refrigerant circuit checks on split systems by an F-gas certified engineer
- Magnetic filter and strainer clean, with system pressure topped up
- A dated service record for your warranty and property files
- Unvented cylinder safety checks and legionella cycle check
Service visits in Bude include unvented cylinder safety checks alongside the heat pump itself.
Grants and rules for heat pumps in England
Homes in Bude 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 Bude: questions
Will the engineer need access indoors as well as outside?
Usually yes. The outdoor unit, the hot water cylinder, the controls and the pipework and valves indoors are all part of the visit, so allow access to each.
Can you work on a heat pump in Bude that someone else installed?
Yes. We arrange servicing and repairs for most air source heat pumps in Bude, whoever fitted them. Tell us the make and model when you get in touch.
What should I check before booking a visit in Bude?
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.
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.
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.
