Heat pump repairs for Huntly homes
Whoever installed your heat pump, aftercare can be arranged in Huntly. Tell us the make and model and roughly how old it is, and we will set out what the visit involves before you book.
Heat pump owners in Huntly can arrange a fault-finding visit at a rate agreed before an engineer attends. Outdoor units in exposed spots around Huntly can ice more heavily, so siting is checked as part of any icing fault.
When a heat pump shows an error, loses pressure or stops heating, an engineer diagnoses the cause and explains the repair and its cost before fixing it.
- Heat pumps installed by another company that need a second opinion
- Rooms or hot water not getting warm enough
- Systems losing pressure or needing frequent topping up
What's included
- Supply and fitting of replacement parts
- Reading of error history and operating data
- Testing of sensors, pumps, valves, pressures and electrics
- Refrigerant repairs by an F-gas certified engineer where needed
- A clear explanation of the fault and a price for the repair before work goes ahead
We repair heat pumps in Huntly whoever installed them, including older monobloc and split systems.
Grants and rules for heat pumps in Scotland
The Boiler Upgrade Scheme does not apply in Scotland. Instead, homeowners in Huntly can apply to Home Energy Scotland for a grant of up to £7,500 towards a heat pump, with up to £1,500 more for eligible rural and island homes, plus an optional interest-free loan of up to £7,500.

Heat pump repairs in Huntly: questions
How often should a heat pump in Huntly 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.
Do you also cover Turriff?
Yes. We arrange heat pump servicing and repairs in Turriff, which is about 14 miles north-east of Huntly, and across Aberdeenshire and Moray.
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.
Do refrigerant repairs need a specialist?
Yes. Any work on a heat pump's refrigerant circuit, such as tracing a leak, replacing a component or re-gassing, must by law be done by an F-gas certified engineer where the refrigerant is fluorinated, such as R32; units using R290 (propane) need an engineer trained in flammable refrigerants. On split systems the refrigerant runs through pipes inside your home, so leaks there are more likely than on sealed monobloc units.
How much does a heat pump repair cost?
Heat pump repairs have a typical range of £90–£1,100, including VAT, depending on the part and labour involved. Sensor replacements sit at the lower end, while control boards and refrigerant repairs on split systems sit higher. Every repair starts with a fault-finding visit, with a guide price of £90–£180 for the first hour, and the repair is priced before work goes ahead.
