Heat pump servicing for Honiton homes
Aftercare matters as much as installation. For a heat pump in Honiton 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.
Service visits in Honiton include unvented cylinder safety checks alongside the heat pump itself. We service heat pumps in Honiton 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.
- Heat pumps a year or more past installation
- Heat pumps installed by another company that need a new servicing arrangement
- Landlords who need dated service records for each property
What's included
- Cleaning of the outdoor unit coil, fan area and condensate drain
- Refrigerant circuit checks on split systems by an F-gas certified engineer
- Unvented cylinder safety checks and legionella cycle check
- Glycol or antifreeze protection test where fitted
- Controls and error log check, with settings adjusted where needed
Landlords in Honiton can arrange servicing for several properties, with a dated record for each.

Heat pump servicing in Honiton: questions
How often should a heat pump in Honiton 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.
Can you work on a heat pump in Honiton that someone else installed?
Yes. We arrange servicing and repairs for most air source heat pumps in Honiton, whoever fitted them. Tell us the make and model when you get in touch.
Do you also cover Sidmouth?
Yes. We arrange heat pump servicing and repairs in Sidmouth, which is about 8 miles south of Honiton, and across Devon.
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.
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.
