Before you book: heat pump servicing in York
Aftercare matters as much as installation. For a heat pump in York the visit checks the outdoor unit, the water circuit and the controls, and the engineer explains any settings that would help the system run more efficiently.
Heat pumps in York that sit near trees or hedges often need their outdoor coil cleared of leaves at the annual service. Homes in York and across North Yorkshire 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.
- Heat pumps a year or more past installation
- Heat pumps installed by another company that need a new servicing arrangement
- Systems where the manufacturer's warranty requires annual servicing
What's included
- Magnetic filter and strainer clean, with system pressure topped up
- A dated service record for your warranty and property files

Heat pump servicing in York: questions
How often should a heat pump in York be serviced?
Once a year is the usual recommendation, and many manufacturers make annual servicing a condition of the warranty. Check your warranty terms for the exact requirement.
Can you work on a heat pump in York that someone else installed?
Yes. We arrange servicing and repairs for most air source heat pumps in York, whoever fitted them. Tell us the make and model when you get in touch.
Do you also cover Selby?
Yes. We arrange heat pump servicing and repairs in Selby, which is about 12 miles south of York, and across North Yorkshire.
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?
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.
