Before you book: heat pump servicing in Newcastle-under-Lyme
Aftercare matters as much as installation. For a heat pump in Newcastle-under-Lyme the visit checks the outdoor unit, the water circuit and the controls, and the engineer explains any settings that would help the system run more efficiently.
We service heat pumps in Newcastle-under-Lyme whoever installed them, including monobloc and split systems. Service visits in Newcastle-under-Lyme 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.
- Landlords who need dated service records for each property
- 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
What's included
- Cleaning of the outdoor unit coil, fan area and condensate drain
- Glycol or antifreeze protection test where fitted

Heat pump servicing in Newcastle-under-Lyme: questions
What should I check before booking a visit in Newcastle-under-Lyme?
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.
Can you work on a heat pump in Newcastle-under-Lyme that someone else installed?
Yes. We arrange servicing and repairs for most air source heat pumps in Newcastle-under-Lyme, whoever fitted them. Tell us the make and model when you get in touch.
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.
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.
