Heat pump servicing for Matlock homes
Whoever installed your heat pump, aftercare can be arranged in Matlock. Tell us the make and model and roughly how old it is, and we will set out what the visit involves before you book.
If a heat pump in Matlock has not been serviced for a while, the first visit includes a full check of settings and pressures. We service heat pumps in Matlock whoever installed them, including monobloc and split systems.
An annual service keeps a heat pump running efficiently, catches small faults early and is often a condition of the manufacturer's warranty.
- Systems where the manufacturer's warranty requires annual servicing
- Homes where running costs have crept up or rooms feel cooler than before
- Heat pumps a year or more past installation
What's included
- Expansion vessel, pressure relief and water quality checks
- A dated service record for your warranty and property files
- Magnetic filter and strainer clean, with system pressure topped up
- Glycol or antifreeze protection test where fitted
- Unvented cylinder safety checks and legionella cycle check
Heat pumps in Matlock that sit near trees or hedges often need their outdoor coil cleared of leaves at the annual service.
Grants and rules for heat pumps in England
In England the Boiler Upgrade Scheme gives £7,500 towards an air source heat pump (£9,000 if it replaces oil or LPG, from 21 July 2026 to 31 March 2027), and since 28 April 2026 a valid EPC is no longer needed. The grant is applied for by the MCS-certified installer and shown as a deduction on your Matlock quote.

Heat pump servicing in Matlock: questions
Can you work on a heat pump in Matlock that someone else installed?
Yes. We arrange servicing and repairs for most air source heat pumps in Matlock, whoever fitted them. Tell us the make and model when you get in touch.
What should I check before booking a visit in Matlock?
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 often should a heat pump in Matlock be serviced?
Once a year is the usual recommendation, and many manufacturers make annual servicing a condition of the warranty. Check your warranty terms for the exact requirement.
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.
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.
