Heat pump servicing in Totton: what to expect
Whoever installed your heat pump, aftercare can be arranged in Totton. Tell us the make and model and roughly how old it is, and we will set out what the visit involves before you book.
If a heat pump in Totton has not been serviced for a while, the first visit includes a full check of settings and pressures. Homes in Totton and across Hampshire 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 installed by another company that need a new servicing arrangement
- Systems where the manufacturer's warranty requires annual servicing
- Heat pumps a year or more past installation
What's included
- A dated service record for your warranty and property files
- Expansion vessel, pressure relief and water quality checks
- Refrigerant circuit checks on split systems by an F-gas certified engineer
- Magnetic filter and strainer clean, with system pressure topped up
- Glycol or antifreeze protection test where fitted
Service visits in Totton 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 Totton quote.

How long is the heating season in Totton?
On the shortest day Totton gets about 7 hours 55 minutes of daylight, and the winter sun reaches only around 16° 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 Totton: questions
Do you also cover Southampton?
Yes. We arrange heat pump servicing and repairs in Southampton, which is about 4 miles east of Totton, and across Hampshire.
How often should a heat pump in Totton 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.
Can you work on a heat pump in Totton that someone else installed?
Yes. We arrange servicing and repairs for most air source heat pumps in Totton, whoever fitted them. Tell us the make and model when you get in touch.
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.
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.
