What to know about heat pump servicing in Market Harborough
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.
Landlords in Market Harborough can arrange servicing for several properties, with a dated record for each. Service visits in Market Harborough 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.
- Heat pumps a year or more past installation
- Landlords who need dated service records for each property
- Heat pumps installed by another company that need a new servicing arrangement
What's included
- Refrigerant circuit checks on split systems by an F-gas certified engineer
- Expansion vessel, pressure relief and water quality checks

If a heat pump in Market Harborough has not been serviced for a while, the first visit includes a full check of settings and pressures.

Heat pump servicing in Market Harborough: questions
How much does a visit cost in Market Harborough?
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.
What should I check before booking a visit in Market Harborough?
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.
Do you also cover Desborough?
Yes. We arrange heat pump servicing and repairs in Desborough, which is about 5 miles south-east of Market Harborough, and across Leicestershire.
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.
