Heat pump servicing for Great Barr homes
Aftercare matters as much as installation. For a heat pump in Great Barr 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 Great Barr whoever installed them, including monobloc and split systems. If a heat pump in Great Barr has not been serviced for a while, the first visit includes a full check of settings and pressures.
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
- Heat pumps a year or more past installation
- Landlords who need dated service records for each property
What's included
- Unvented cylinder safety checks and legionella cycle check
- Cleaning of the outdoor unit coil, fan area and condensate drain
- Controls and error log check, with settings adjusted where needed
- Glycol or antifreeze protection test where fitted
- A dated service record for your warranty and property files
Landlords in Great Barr can arrange servicing for several properties, with a dated record for each.
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 Great Barr quote.

Heat pump servicing in Great Barr: questions
Do you also cover Walsall?
Yes. We arrange heat pump servicing and repairs in Walsall, which is about 3 miles north-west of Great Barr, and across the West Midlands.
What should I check before booking a visit in Great Barr?
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 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.
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.
