Heat pump servicing for Acton homes
A heat pump that is serviced and set up properly keeps running efficiently for many years. Many heat pump faults trace back to settings, low pressure or a worn part rather than the heat pump itself, and those can usually be put right.
Homes in Acton and across Greater London can book servicing at a time of year that suits them, ideally before winter. We service heat pumps in Acton 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.
- Systems where the manufacturer's warranty requires annual servicing
- Heat pumps installed by another company that need a new servicing arrangement
- Homes where running costs have crept up or rooms feel cooler than before
What's included
- Unvented cylinder safety checks and legionella cycle check
- Expansion vessel, pressure relief and water quality checks
- 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
If a heat pump in Acton has not been serviced for a while, the first visit includes a full check of settings and pressures.
Grants and rules for heat pumps in England
Homes in Acton 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.

Winter daylight and heating in Acton
On the shortest day Acton gets about 7 hours 49 minutes of daylight, and the winter sun reaches only around 15° above the horizon at noon. Winters this far south are milder than in most of the UK, which helps a heat pump run at low flow temperatures for much of the season.

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