Before you book: heat pump repairs in Bishopston

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.

Across Bishopston and Bristol, refrigerant repairs on split systems are carried out by an F-gas certified engineer. Repairs in Bishopston that need a part ordered are explained and priced before the engineer leaves.

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 showing an error code or fault light
  • Systems losing pressure or needing frequent topping up
  • Heat pumps installed by another company that need a second opinion

What's included

  • Reading of error history and operating data
  • Supply and fitting of replacement parts
  • A clear explanation of the fault and a price for the repair before work goes ahead
  • Refrigerant repairs by an F-gas certified engineer where needed
  • Testing of sensors, pumps, valves, pressures and electrics

Outdoor units in exposed spots around Bishopston can ice more heavily, so siting is checked as part of any icing fault.

Heat pump repairs in Bishopston: questions

What should I check before booking a visit in Bishopston?

Note any error code on the controller, check the system pressure gauge if you have one, and make sure the outdoor unit is clear of leaves or snow. Photos of the unit and controller help.

Do you also cover Westbury-on-Trym?

Yes. We arrange heat pump servicing and repairs in Westbury-on-Trym, which is about a mile north-west of Bishopston, and across Bristol.

Can you work on a heat pump in Bishopston that someone else installed?

Yes. We arrange servicing and repairs for most air source heat pumps in Bishopston, whoever fitted them. Tell us the make and model when you get in touch.

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.

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.
