Before you book: heat pump servicing in Swadlincote
Whoever installed your heat pump, aftercare can be arranged in Swadlincote. 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 Swadlincote has not been serviced for a while, the first visit includes a full check of settings and pressures. Homes in Swadlincote and across Derbyshire 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.
- Homes where running costs have crept up or rooms feel cooler than before
- Systems where the manufacturer's warranty requires annual servicing
- Landlords who need dated service records for each property
What's included
- Controls and error log check, with settings adjusted where needed
- Unvented cylinder safety checks and legionella cycle check
- Refrigerant circuit checks on split systems by an F-gas certified engineer
- Cleaning of the outdoor unit coil, fan area and condensate drain
- A dated service record for your warranty and property files
Heat pumps in Swadlincote 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 Swadlincote quote.

Heat pump servicing in Swadlincote: questions
Do you also cover Ashby-de-la-Zouch?
Yes. We arrange heat pump servicing and repairs in Ashby-de-la-Zouch, which is about 4 miles south-east of Swadlincote, and across Derbyshire.
What should I check before booking a visit in Swadlincote?
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.
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.
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.
Do I need to do anything between services?
A little. Keep the area around the outdoor unit clear of leaves, snow, plants and stored items so air flows freely. Check the system pressure gauge occasionally if you have one, and note any error codes. Avoid covering the unit or building an enclosure around it without advice, as this can reduce performance.
