Before you book: heat pump repairs in Prestwick
A heat pump that is serviced and set up properly keeps running efficiently for many years. Many heat pump faults trace back to settings, low pressure or a worn part rather than the heat pump itself, and those can usually be put right.
Heat pump owners in Prestwick can arrange a fault-finding visit at a rate agreed before an engineer attends. For repeated faults in Prestwick, the engineer looks at the system design as well as the failed part.
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.
- Outdoor units that have become noisy, iced up or keep switching on and off
- Systems losing pressure or needing frequent topping up
- Heat pumps installed by another company that need a second opinion
What's included
- Fault-finding visit at a rate agreed before attending
- System refill, venting and recommissioning after the repair
- Supply and fitting of replacement parts
- Testing of sensors, pumps, valves, pressures and electrics
- Reading of error history and operating data
We repair heat pumps in Prestwick whoever installed them, including older monobloc and split systems.

Heat pump repairs in Prestwick: questions
How much does a visit cost in Prestwick?
The rate for a service or fault-finding visit is agreed before anyone attends. Any repair is priced in writing before parts are ordered, so you decide before work goes ahead.
Can you work on a heat pump in Prestwick that someone else installed?
Yes. We arrange servicing and repairs for most air source heat pumps in Prestwick, whoever fitted them. Tell us the make and model when you get in touch.
How often should a heat pump in Prestwick 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.
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.
Is ice on my heat pump a fault?
Some frost on the outdoor unit in cold, damp weather is normal, and the unit clears it with regular defrost cycles, often releasing a little vapour. It becomes a fault when thick ice builds up and does not clear, or when ice blocks the fan. That can point to poor airflow, a failed sensor, drainage problems or low refrigerant, and needs checking.
