Before you book: heat pump servicing in Chippenham
Aftercare matters as much as installation. For a heat pump in Chippenham 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 Chippenham whoever installed them, including monobloc and split systems. Homes in Chippenham and across Wiltshire 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.
- Systems where the manufacturer's warranty requires annual servicing
- Homes where running costs have crept up or rooms feel cooler than before
- Heat pumps installed by another company that need a new servicing arrangement
What's included
- A dated service record for your warranty and property files
- Magnetic filter and strainer clean, with system pressure topped up
- Controls and error log check, with settings adjusted where needed
- Unvented cylinder safety checks and legionella cycle check
- Refrigerant circuit checks on split systems by an F-gas certified engineer
Landlords in Chippenham can arrange servicing for several properties, with a dated record for each.
Grants and rules for heat pumps in England

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

Heat pump servicing in Chippenham: questions
How often should a heat pump in Chippenham 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.
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.
What should I check before booking a visit in Chippenham?
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.
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.
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.
