Before you book: heat pump servicing in Kettering
Whoever installed your heat pump, aftercare can be arranged in Kettering. Tell us the make and model and roughly how old it is, and we will set out what the visit involves before you book.
If a heat pump in Kettering has not been serviced for a while, the first visit includes a full check of settings and pressures. We service heat pumps in Kettering whoever installed them, including monobloc and split systems.
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 installed by another company that need a new servicing arrangement
- Homes where running costs have crept up or rooms feel cooler than before
- Systems where the manufacturer's warranty requires annual servicing
What's included
- Magnetic filter and strainer clean, with system pressure topped up
- Expansion vessel, pressure relief and water quality checks
- A dated service record for your warranty and property files
- Refrigerant circuit checks on split systems by an F-gas certified engineer
- Glycol or antifreeze protection test where fitted
Homes in Kettering and across Northamptonshire can book servicing at a time of year that suits them, ideally before winter.
Grants and rules for heat pumps in England
In England the Boiler Upgrade Scheme gives £7,500 towards an air source heat pump (£9,000 if it replaces oil or LPG, from 21 July 2026 to 31 March 2027), and since 28 April 2026 a valid EPC is no longer needed. The grant is applied for by the MCS-certified installer and shown as a deduction on your Kettering quote.

Heat pump servicing in Kettering: questions
How often should a heat pump in Kettering 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.
Do you also cover Desborough?
Yes. We arrange heat pump servicing and repairs in Desborough, which is about 5 miles north-west of Kettering, and across Northamptonshire.
How much does a visit cost in Kettering?
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 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.
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.
