Heat pump servicing for Hinckley homes
Whoever installed your heat pump, aftercare can be arranged in Hinckley. 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 Hinckley whoever installed them, including monobloc and split systems. Service visits in Hinckley include unvented cylinder safety checks alongside the heat pump itself.
An annual service keeps a heat pump running efficiently, catches small faults early and is often a condition of the manufacturer's warranty.
- Homes where running costs have crept up or rooms feel cooler than before
- Landlords who need dated service records for each property
- Systems where the manufacturer's warranty requires annual servicing
What's included
- Glycol or antifreeze protection test where fitted
- Expansion vessel, pressure relief and water quality checks
- Cleaning of the outdoor unit coil, fan area and condensate drain
- Magnetic filter and strainer clean, with system pressure topped up
- Unvented cylinder safety checks and legionella cycle check
Heat pumps in Hinckley 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 Hinckley 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 Hinckley: questions
Can you work on a heat pump in Hinckley that someone else installed?
Yes. We arrange servicing and repairs for most air source heat pumps in Hinckley, whoever fitted them. Tell us the make and model when you get in touch.
Will the engineer need access indoors as well as outside?
Usually yes. The outdoor unit, the hot water cylinder, the controls and the pipework and valves indoors are all part of the visit, so allow access to each.
How much does a visit cost in Hinckley?
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.
How much does a heat pump service cost?
An annual heat pump service has a guide price of £120–£250, including VAT. Where your price sits depends on the type of system, whether it is a split system needing refrigerant checks and whether an unvented cylinder is included. Any parts or repairs found during the service are explained and priced before any work goes ahead.
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.
