Heat pump servicing for Cowes 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.
Service visits in Cowes include unvented cylinder safety checks alongside the heat pump itself. Landlords in Cowes can arrange servicing for several properties, with a dated record for each.
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
- Landlords who need dated service records for each property
- Homes where running costs have crept up or rooms feel cooler than before
What's included
- Glycol or antifreeze protection test where fitted
- Cleaning of the outdoor unit coil, fan area and condensate drain
- Magnetic filter and strainer clean, with system pressure topped up
- A dated service record for your warranty and property files
- Controls and error log check, with settings adjusted where needed
If a heat pump in Cowes has not been serviced for a while, the first visit includes a full check of settings and pressures.

The grant is applied for by the MCS-certified installer and shown as a deduction on your Cowes quote.

How much does a visit cost in Cowes?
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.
Can you work on a heat pump in Cowes that someone else installed?
Yes. We arrange servicing and repairs for most air source heat pumps in Cowes, whoever fitted them. Tell us the make and model when you get in touch.
Do you also cover Newport (Isle of Wight)?
Yes. We arrange heat pump servicing and repairs in Newport (Isle of Wight), which is about 4 miles south of Cowes, and across the Isle of Wight.
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.
How much does a heat pump service cost?
