Before you book: heat pump servicing in Corby
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.
Service visits in Corby include unvented cylinder safety checks alongside the heat pump itself. Heat pumps in Corby 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.
- 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
- Refrigerant circuit checks on split systems by an F-gas certified engineer
- Cleaning of the outdoor unit coil, fan area and condensate drain
- Magnetic filter and strainer clean, with system pressure topped up
- Glycol or antifreeze protection test where fitted
- Unvented cylinder safety checks and legionella cycle check
If a heat pump in Corby has not been serviced for a while, the first visit includes a full check of settings and pressures.
Grants and rules for heat pumps in England
Homes in Corby 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 Corby: questions
How much does a visit cost in Corby?
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.
Do you also cover Desborough?
Yes. We arrange heat pump servicing and repairs in Desborough, which is about 7 miles south-west of Corby, and across Northamptonshire.
Can you work on a heat pump in Corby that someone else installed?
Yes. We arrange servicing and repairs for most air source heat pumps in Corby, whoever fitted them. Tell us the make and model when you get in touch.
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.
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.
