Heat pump servicing in Ashbourne: what to expect
Whoever installed your heat pump, aftercare can be arranged in Ashbourne. Tell us the make and model and roughly how old it is, and we will set out what the visit involves before you book.
Homes in Ashbourne and across Derbyshire can book servicing at a time of year that suits them, ideally before winter. Heat pumps in Ashbourne 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.
- Heat pumps installed by another company that need a new servicing arrangement
- Landlords who need dated service records for each property
- Systems where the manufacturer's warranty requires annual servicing
What's included
- Glycol or antifreeze protection test where fitted
- A dated service record for your warranty and property files
- Unvented cylinder safety checks and legionella cycle check
- Cleaning of the outdoor unit coil, fan area and condensate drain
- Refrigerant circuit checks on split systems by an F-gas certified engineer
We service heat pumps in Ashbourne whoever installed them, including monobloc and split systems.
Grants and rules for heat pumps in England
Homes in Ashbourne 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 Ashbourne: questions
What should I check before booking a visit in Ashbourne?
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 work on a heat pump in Ashbourne that someone else installed?
Yes. We arrange servicing and repairs for most air source heat pumps in Ashbourne, whoever fitted them. Tell us the make and model when you get in touch.
Do you also cover Belper?
Yes. We arrange heat pump servicing and repairs in Belper, which is about 10 miles east of Ashbourne, and across Derbyshire.
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.
Is servicing needed to keep my warranty valid?
Often, yes. Many manufacturer warranties require an annual service with a dated record, and some extended warranties require an approved installer. Manufacturer warranties pass to you, and the length depends on the make and model. Check your warranty documents, and keep every service record safe with your MCS certificate and handover pack.
