Heat pump servicing for Exmouth homes
Aftercare matters as much as installation. For a heat pump in Exmouth 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.
Heat pumps in Exmouth that sit near trees or hedges often need their outdoor coil cleared of leaves at the annual service. Service visits in Exmouth include unvented cylinder safety checks alongside the heat pump itself.
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
- Heat pumps installed by another company that need a new servicing arrangement
What's included
- Controls and error log check, with settings adjusted where needed
- A dated service record for your warranty and property files
- Glycol or antifreeze protection test where fitted
- 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 Exmouth whoever installed them, including monobloc and split systems.
Grants and rules for heat pumps in England
Homes in Exmouth 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.

Exmouth sees roughly 7 hours 58 minutes of daylight in late December against 16 hours 29 minutes in June. Milder southern winters suit heat pumps well, though the system is still sized for a cold snap rather than an average day.

Heat pump servicing in Exmouth: questions
Can you work on a heat pump in Exmouth that someone else installed?
Yes. We arrange servicing and repairs for most air source heat pumps in Exmouth, whoever fitted them. Tell us the make and model when you get in touch.
What should I check before booking a visit in Exmouth?
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.
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.
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.
