What to know about heat pump servicing in Solihull
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.
Homes in Solihull and across the West Midlands can book servicing at a time of year that suits them, ideally before winter. If a heat pump in Solihull 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.
- Landlords who need dated service records for each property
- Systems where the manufacturer's warranty requires annual servicing
- Heat pumps a year or more past installation
What's included
- A dated service record for your warranty and property files
- Cleaning of the outdoor unit coil, fan area and condensate drain
- 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
Heat pumps in Solihull that sit near trees or hedges often need their outdoor coil cleared of leaves at the annual service.

The grant is applied for by the MCS-certified installer and shown as a deduction on your Solihull quote.

Heat pump servicing in Solihull: questions
How often should a heat pump in Solihull 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.
How much does a visit cost in Solihull?
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 Shirley?
Yes. We arrange heat pump servicing and repairs in Shirley, which is about 2 miles west of Solihull, and across the West Midlands.
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.
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.
