Before you book: heat pump servicing in Woolwich
Aftercare matters as much as installation. For a heat pump in Woolwich the visit checks the outdoor unit, the water circuit and the controls, and the engineer explains any settings that would help the system run more efficiently.
Homes in Woolwich and across Greater London can book servicing at a time of year that suits them, ideally before winter. If a heat pump in Woolwich has not been serviced for a while, the first visit includes a full check of settings and pressures.
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
- Homes where running costs have crept up or rooms feel cooler than before

Heat pump servicing in Woolwich: questions
Do you also cover Eltham?

Yes. We arrange servicing and repairs for most air source heat pumps in Woolwich, whoever fitted them. Tell us the make and model when you get in touch.
How often should a heat pump in Woolwich 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.
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.
