What to know about heat pump repairs in Irvine
Whoever installed your heat pump, aftercare can be arranged in Irvine. Tell us the make and model and roughly how old it is, and we will set out what the visit involves before you book.
Across Irvine and Ayrshire, refrigerant repairs on split systems are carried out by an F-gas certified engineer. Heat pump owners in Irvine can arrange a fault-finding visit at a rate agreed before an engineer attends.
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.
- Systems losing pressure or needing frequent topping up
- Rooms or hot water not getting warm enough
- Heat pumps installed by another company that need a second opinion
What's included
- A clear explanation of the fault and a price for the repair before work goes ahead
- Reading of error history and operating data
- Refrigerant repairs by an F-gas certified engineer where needed
- Testing of sensors, pumps, valves, pressures and electrics
- System refill, venting and recommissioning after the repair
Outdoor units in exposed spots around Irvine can ice more heavily, so siting is checked as part of any icing fault.
