Heat pump servicing in Finchley: what to expect
Whoever installed your heat pump, aftercare can be arranged in Finchley. 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 Finchley whoever installed them, including monobloc and split systems. Homes in Finchley and across Greater London 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.
- 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
- Expansion vessel, pressure relief and water quality checks
- Glycol or antifreeze protection test where fitted
- A dated service record for your warranty and property files
Heat pumps in Finchley that sit near trees or hedges often need their outdoor coil cleared of leaves at the annual service.
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 Finchley quote.

Heat pump servicing in Finchley: questions
How much does a visit cost in Finchley?
The rate for a service or fault-finding visit is agreed before anyone attends. Any repair is priced in writing before parts are ordered, so you decide before work goes ahead.
Do you also cover Hendon?
Yes. We arrange heat pump servicing and repairs in Hendon, which is about 2 miles south-west of Finchley, and across Greater London.
Can you work on a heat pump in Finchley that someone else installed?
Yes. We arrange servicing and repairs for most air source heat pumps in Finchley, whoever fitted them. Tell us the make and model when you get in touch.
How often should a heat pump be serviced?
Once a year is the usual recommendation for air source heat pumps, and many manufacturers require it as a warranty condition. An annual visit cleans filters and strainers, checks pressures and controls, and tests the unvented cylinder's safety devices. If you notice a drop in performance, unusual noises or repeated error codes between services, arrange a visit sooner.
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.
