Before you book: heat pump servicing in Shoreham-by-Sea
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 Shoreham-by-Sea and across West Sussex can book servicing at a time of year that suits them, ideally before winter. Service visits in Shoreham-by-Sea 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.
- Systems where the manufacturer's warranty requires annual servicing
- 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
- Expansion vessel, pressure relief and water quality checks
- A dated service record for your warranty and property files
- Glycol or antifreeze protection test where fitted
- Refrigerant circuit checks on split systems by an F-gas certified engineer
- Controls and error log check, with settings adjusted where needed
We service heat pumps in Shoreham-by-Sea whoever installed them, including monobloc and split systems.
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 Shoreham-by-Sea quote.

Heat pump servicing in Shoreham-by-Sea: questions
What should I check before booking a visit in Shoreham-by-Sea?
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.
Do you also cover Worthing?
Yes. We arrange heat pump servicing and repairs in Worthing, which is about 5 miles west of Shoreham-by-Sea, and across West Sussex.
Can you work on a heat pump in Shoreham-by-Sea that someone else installed?
Yes. We arrange servicing and repairs for most air source heat pumps in Shoreham-by-Sea, whoever fitted them. Tell us the make and model when you get in touch.
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.
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.
