Heat pump servicing in plain English

A service should give you
clear answers.

A heat pump is part of a wider heating system. A thorough service considers the outdoor unit, cylinder, controls and connected equipment together, in line with the applicable manufacturer’s instructions.

Routine maintenance, fault diagnosis and repairs are different jobs. We explain what the service includes and quote separately for any additional work.

01

Annual service visit

Relevant components are stripped down as required for your model, cleaned and inspected. The engineer checks the heat pump and connected heating equipment.

02

Performance and settings check

Recorded operating readings and checks of the controls and settings help the engineer understand how your system is running.

03

Fault check and repair advice

Tell us about a fault before booking. Diagnosis, repairs, parts and remedial work are quoted separately from routine maintenance.

04

Service record and clear advice

You receive a photographic record of the work, readings and findings, with clear advice on further work and when your next service is due.

Has something
changed at home?

Do not wait for a complete breakdown. If your heating, hot water, noise or running costs have changed, tell EPC what you have noticed so we can suggest the right next step.

  • Heating or hot water takes longer than normal

  • The outdoor unit is noisier than usual

  • Fault codes appear on the controller

  • Pressure drops or needs regular topping up

  • Energy use has increased without an obvious reason

Frequently asked questions

Servicing and membership,
explained clearly.

Understand the visit, your warranty position and the support available before you decide.

How often should a heat pump be serviced?

Follow your manufacturer’s servicing instructions. An annual service helps maintain a clear service history. Warranty requirements depend on your manufacturer and warranty terms; servicing does not create or extend a warranty.

How much does a one-off heat pump service cost?

The usual one-off heat pump system service is £360 including VAT. EPC confirms the appropriate visit before booking. Fault diagnosis, repairs, replacement parts and additional remedial work are quoted separately.

Which Heat Pump Plus membership is right for me?

The three packages have the same benefits. Complete Warranty is for systems with active manufacturer and EPC workmanship warranties. Manufacturer Warranty applies when the manufacturer warranty remains active but EPC workmanship cover has expired. Beyond Warranty applies when both have expired. If you are not sure, EPC will check your warranty position with you.

When is my included service due?

EPC will confirm the service schedule and payment terms before you join. Please tell us your last service date and whether a service is already due so we can explain the appropriate next step.

Can I enquire if my service is due now?

Yes. Tell EPC that your service is due when you enquire. EPC will explain the one-off service option, any payment required and the timing of an included membership service before you decide.

What happens when a warranty expires?

Your warranty position determines membership eligibility. Tell EPC if either warranty is approaching expiry so we can confirm the appropriate package and any price change before you proceed. Membership does not extend either warranty.

Can I enquire if my heat pump already has a fault?

Yes. Describe the symptoms or fault code so EPC can confirm the right visit. Annual servicing and a repair call-out are different. Membership does not mean existing faults, diagnostic visits, repairs or replacement parts are included at no extra charge; EPC will confirm how your enquiry is handled.

What does the 25% repair discount apply to?

All three memberships include 25% off chargeable parts and labour. EPC will confirm the scope of any repair quote, including any call-out or travel charges, before additional work is agreed.

Is Heat Pump Plus a warranty or breakdown insurance?

No. It includes an annual service and shared membership benefits. It does not create or extend a manufacturer or workmanship warranty, and it does not include unlimited repairs or free replacement parts.

Can you service a system installed by another company?

You can enquire about a system installed by another company. Send your postcode, make and model if known so EPC can confirm service compatibility and the appropriate route.

Which parts of Essex do you cover?

We welcome enquiries across the areas shown above. Send your postcode and EPC will confirm whether a visit is available before booking.

What support is available to members?

Heat Pump Plus includes online or telephone support. EPC will confirm support availability before you join. This should not be treated as a promise of 24/7 attendance or an included emergency repair visit.

What information should I send?

Your name, contact details, postcode and whether you need a service, fault help or membership advice. Include your brand and model, last service date and current membership status if known. You do not need to know your warranty category to enquire.
