Heat pump servicing in Oswestry: what to expect
Whoever installed your heat pump, aftercare can be arranged in Oswestry. Tell us the make and model and roughly how old it is, and we will set out what the visit involves before you book.
Landlords in Oswestry can arrange servicing for several properties, with a dated record for each. Service visits in Oswestry 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
- Systems where the manufacturer's warranty requires annual servicing
- Homes where running costs have crept up or rooms feel cooler than before
What's included
- Cleaning of the outdoor unit coil, fan area and condensate drain
- Refrigerant circuit checks on split systems by an F-gas certified engineer
- Magnetic filter and strainer clean, with system pressure topped up
- Glycol or antifreeze protection test where fitted
- Controls and error log check, with settings adjusted where needed
Homes in Oswestry and across Shropshire can book servicing at a time of year that suits them, ideally before winter.
Grants and rules for heat pumps in England
Homes in Oswestry 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 Oswestry: questions
What should I check before booking a visit in Oswestry?
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 Shrewsbury?
Yes. We arrange heat pump servicing and repairs in Shrewsbury, which is about 16 miles south-east of Oswestry, and across Shropshire.
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 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.
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.
