Heat pump servicing in Brighton: what to expect
Whoever installed your heat pump, aftercare can be arranged in Brighton. Tell us the make and model and roughly how old it is, and we will set out what the visit involves before you book.
We service heat pumps in Brighton whoever installed them, including monobloc and split systems. Homes in Brighton and across East Sussex 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
- Heat pumps a year or more past installation
- Systems where the manufacturer's warranty requires annual servicing
What's included
- A dated service record for your warranty and property files
- Controls and error log check, with settings adjusted where needed
- Expansion vessel, pressure relief and water quality checks
- Refrigerant circuit checks on split systems by an F-gas certified engineer
- Glycol or antifreeze protection test where fitted
Service visits in Brighton include unvented cylinder safety checks alongside the heat pump itself.
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 Brighton quote.

Heat pump servicing in Brighton: questions
What should I check before booking a visit in Brighton?
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.
Do you also cover Peacehaven?
Yes. We arrange heat pump servicing and repairs in Peacehaven, which is about 6 miles south-east of Brighton, and across East Sussex.
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.
What does a heat pump service not include?
A service covers inspection, cleaning, testing and adjustment. It does not include replacement parts, major repairs, system flushing or radiator changes, which are quoted separately if needed. If the engineer finds a fault, they explain what it is, what it would cost to fix and whether it needs doing now or can wait.
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.
