What to know about heat pump servicing in Harborne
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.
If a heat pump in Harborne has not been serviced for a while, the first visit includes a full check of settings and pressures. Landlords in Harborne 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
- Landlords who need dated service records for each property
- Systems where the manufacturer's warranty requires annual servicing
What's included
- Glycol or antifreeze protection test where fitted
- Controls and error log check, with settings adjusted where needed
- Unvented cylinder safety checks and legionella cycle check
- A dated service record for your warranty and property files
- Cleaning of the outdoor unit coil, fan area and condensate drain
Homes in Harborne and across the West Midlands can book servicing at a time of year that suits them, ideally before winter.
Grants and rules for heat pumps in England
Homes in Harborne 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 Harborne: questions
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.
Do you also cover Edgbaston?
Yes. We arrange heat pump servicing and repairs in Edgbaston, which is about a mile east of Harborne, and across the West Midlands.
How often should a heat pump in Harborne be serviced?
Once a year is the usual recommendation, and many manufacturers make annual servicing a condition of the warranty. Check your warranty terms for the exact requirement.
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.
Is servicing needed to keep my warranty valid?
Often, yes. Many manufacturer warranties require an annual service with a dated record, and some extended warranties require an approved installer. Manufacturer warranties pass to you, and the length depends on the make and model. Check your warranty documents, and keep every service record safe with your MCS certificate and handover pack.
