What to know about heat pump servicing in Sevenoaks
Whoever installed your heat pump, aftercare can be arranged in Sevenoaks. Tell us the make and model and roughly how old it is, and we will set out what the visit involves before you book.
Service visits in Sevenoaks include unvented cylinder safety checks alongside the heat pump itself. Homes in Sevenoaks and across Kent 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.
- Landlords who need dated service records for each property
- Systems where the manufacturer's warranty requires annual servicing
- Heat pumps a year or more past installation
What's included
- Glycol or antifreeze protection test where fitted
- Refrigerant circuit checks on split systems by an F-gas certified engineer
- Expansion vessel, pressure relief and water quality checks
- Controls and error log check, with settings adjusted where needed
- Magnetic filter and strainer clean, with system pressure topped up
Heat pumps in Sevenoaks 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
Homes in Sevenoaks can use the Boiler Upgrade Scheme, which takes £7,500 off the cost of an air source heat pump when it replaces fossil-fuel or electric heating. Replacing oil or LPG heating qualifies for £9,000 for installations from 21 July 2026 to 31 March 2027, and air-to-air systems for £2,500. The MCS-certified installer named in your quote applies for the grant and deducts it from the price.

Heat pump servicing in Sevenoaks: questions
What should I check before booking a visit in Sevenoaks?
Note any error code on the controller, check the system pressure gauge if you have one, and make sure the outdoor unit is clear of leaves or snow. Photos of the unit and controller help.
Can you work on a heat pump in Sevenoaks that someone else installed?
Yes. We arrange servicing and repairs for most air source heat pumps in Sevenoaks, whoever fitted them. Tell us the make and model when you get in touch.
Do you also cover Westerham?
Yes. We arrange heat pump servicing and repairs in Westerham, which is about 5 miles west of Sevenoaks, and across Kent.
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.
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.
