Before you book: heat pump servicing in Burntwood
Whoever installed your heat pump, aftercare can be arranged in Burntwood. 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 Burntwood can arrange servicing for several properties, with a dated record for each. Service visits in Burntwood 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.
- Systems where the manufacturer's warranty requires annual servicing
- Heat pumps a year or more past installation
- Heat pumps installed by another company that need a new servicing arrangement
What's included
- Expansion vessel, pressure relief and water quality checks
- Magnetic filter and strainer clean, with system pressure topped up
- Unvented cylinder safety checks and legionella cycle check
- Controls and error log check, with settings adjusted where needed
- Refrigerant circuit checks on split systems by an F-gas certified engineer
If a heat pump in Burntwood has not been serviced for a while, the first visit includes a full check of settings and pressures.

Heat pump servicing in Burntwood: questions
How much does a visit cost in Burntwood?
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 Lichfield?
Yes. We arrange heat pump servicing and repairs in Lichfield, which is about 4 miles east of Burntwood, and across Staffordshire.
Can you work on a heat pump in Burntwood that someone else installed?
Yes. We arrange servicing and repairs for most air source heat pumps in Burntwood, whoever fitted them. Tell us the make and model when you get in touch.
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.
What does a heat pump service not include?
A service covers inspection, cleaning, testing and adjustment. It does not include replacement parts, major repairs, system flushing or radiator changes, which are quoted separately if needed. If the engineer finds a fault, they explain what it is, what it would cost to fix and whether it needs doing now or can wait.
