What to know about heat pump servicing in Chichester
Aftercare matters as much as installation. For a heat pump in Chichester 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.
Heat pumps in Chichester that sit near trees or hedges often need their outdoor coil cleared of leaves at the annual service. Homes in Chichester and across West Sussex can book servicing at a time of year that suits them, ideally before winter.
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

Grants and rules for heat pumps in England
Homes in Chichester 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.
