Heat pump servicing in Brixton: what to expect
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.
We service heat pumps in Brixton whoever installed them, including monobloc and split systems. Service visits in Brixton 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.
- Systems where the manufacturer's warranty requires annual servicing
- Heat pumps installed by another company that need a new servicing arrangement
- Landlords who need dated service records for each property
What's included
- Magnetic filter and strainer clean, with system pressure topped up
- Unvented cylinder safety checks and legionella cycle check
- Cleaning of the outdoor unit coil, fan area and condensate drain
- Glycol or antifreeze protection test where fitted
- Controls and error log check, with settings adjusted where needed
If a heat pump in Brixton 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
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 Brixton quote.

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