Before you book: heat pump servicing in Church Stretton
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.
Heat pumps in Church Stretton that sit near trees or hedges often need their outdoor coil cleared of leaves at the annual service. Landlords in Church Stretton can arrange servicing for several properties, with a dated record for each.
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
- Systems where the manufacturer's warranty requires annual servicing
- Heat pumps installed by another company that need a new servicing arrangement
What's included
- Glycol or antifreeze protection test where fitted
- A dated service record for your warranty and property files
- Magnetic filter and strainer clean, with system pressure topped up
- Expansion vessel, pressure relief and water quality checks
- Controls and error log check, with settings adjusted where needed
Service visits in Church Stretton include unvented cylinder safety checks alongside the heat pump itself.
Grants and rules for heat pumps in England

The grant is applied for by the MCS-certified installer and shown as a deduction on your Church Stretton quote.

Heat pump servicing in Church Stretton: questions
Can you work on a heat pump in Church Stretton that someone else installed?
Yes. We arrange servicing and repairs for most air source heat pumps in Church Stretton, whoever fitted them. Tell us the make and model when you get in touch.
What should I check before booking a visit in Church Stretton?
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.
Will the engineer need access indoors as well as outside?
Usually yes. The outdoor unit, the hot water cylinder, the controls and the pipework and valves indoors are all part of the visit, so allow access to each.
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.
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.
