Heat pump repairs for Ardrossan homes
Whoever installed your heat pump, aftercare can be arranged in Ardrossan. Tell us the make and model and roughly how old it is, and we will set out what the visit involves before you book.
We repair heat pumps in Ardrossan whoever installed them, including older monobloc and split systems. Across Ardrossan and Ayrshire, refrigerant repairs on split systems are carried out by an F-gas certified engineer.
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
- Systems losing pressure or needing frequent topping up
- Outdoor units that have become noisy, iced up or keep switching on and off
What's included
- Refrigerant repairs by an F-gas certified engineer where needed
- Testing of sensors, pumps, valves, pressures and electrics
- Reading of error history and operating data
- Supply and fitting of replacement parts
- System refill, venting and recommissioning after the repair
Heat pump owners in Ardrossan can arrange a fault-finding visit at a rate agreed before an engineer attends.
Grants and rules for heat pumps in Scotland
In Scotland, heat pump funding comes through Home Energy Scotland rather than the Boiler Upgrade Scheme: a grant of up to £7,500 (up to £1,500 extra for eligible rural and island homes) and an optional interest-free loan of up to £7,500. For an Ardrossan home, apply and receive the written offer before the installation date is fixed.

Heat pump repairs in Ardrossan: questions
Do you also cover Saltcoats?
Yes. We arrange heat pump servicing and repairs in Saltcoats, which is about a mile south-east of Ardrossan, and across Ayrshire.

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.
Why is my heat pump showing an error code?
An error code is the heat pump's way of reporting a problem it has detected, such as low water flow, a sensor reading out of range or a communication fault between units. Note the code and check the manual, as some codes clear after a simple reset or pressure top-up. If it returns, an engineer can trace the underlying cause.
