Heat pump servicing for Leicester 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.
Homes in Leicester and across Leicestershire can book servicing at a time of year that suits them, ideally before winter. Heat pumps in Leicester that sit near trees or hedges often need their outdoor coil cleared of leaves at the annual service.
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
- Heat pumps installed by another company that need a new servicing arrangement
- Systems where the manufacturer's warranty requires annual servicing
What's included
- Expansion vessel, pressure relief and water quality checks
- Unvented cylinder safety checks and legionella cycle check
- A dated service record for your warranty and property files
- Magnetic filter and strainer clean, with system pressure topped up
- Cleaning of the outdoor unit coil, fan area and condensate drain
Landlords in Leicester can arrange servicing for several properties, with a dated record for each.
Grants and rules for heat pumps in England
Homes in Leicester 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.

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.
Can you service a split system?
Yes. Split systems have refrigerant pipes running between the outdoor unit and an indoor unit, and checks on that refrigerant circuit must be done by an F-gas certified engineer. We arrange the service so a suitably certified engineer attends. The water side, controls and cylinder are checked in the same visit, just as on a monobloc system.
