What to know about heat pump servicing in Totnes
Whoever installed your heat pump, aftercare can be arranged in Totnes. Tell us the make and model and roughly how old it is, and we will set out what the visit involves before you book.
Heat pumps in Totnes that sit near trees or hedges often need their outdoor coil cleared of leaves at the annual service. Service visits in Totnes 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
- Systems where the manufacturer's warranty requires annual servicing
- Heat pumps installed by another company that need a new servicing arrangement
What's included
- Magnetic filter and strainer clean, with system pressure topped up
- Unvented cylinder safety checks and legionella cycle check
- Controls and error log check, with settings adjusted where needed
- A dated service record for your warranty and property files

We service heat pumps in Totnes whoever installed them, including monobloc and split systems.
Grants and rules for heat pumps in England
Homes in Totnes 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 Totnes: questions
Do you also cover Paignton?
Yes. We arrange heat pump servicing and repairs in Paignton, which is about 5 miles east of Totnes, and across Devon.
Can you work on a heat pump in Totnes that someone else installed?
Yes. We arrange servicing and repairs for most air source heat pumps in Totnes, whoever fitted them. Tell us the make and model when you get in touch.
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 much does a heat pump service cost?
An annual heat pump service has a guide price of £120–£250, including VAT. Where your price sits depends on the type of system, whether it is a split system needing refrigerant checks and whether an unvented cylinder is included. Any parts or repairs found during the service are explained and priced before any work goes ahead.
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.
