What to know about heat pump repairs in Wilmslow
Whoever installed your heat pump, aftercare can be arranged in Wilmslow. Tell us the make and model and roughly how old it is, and we will set out what the visit involves before you book.
Outdoor units in exposed spots around Wilmslow can ice more heavily, so siting is checked as part of any icing fault. Heat pump owners in Wilmslow 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.
- Heat pumps showing an error code or fault light
- Heat pumps installed by another company that need a second opinion
- Rooms or hot water not getting warm enough

- Refrigerant repairs by an F-gas certified engineer where needed
We repair heat pumps in Wilmslow whoever installed them, including older monobloc and split systems.
Grants and rules for heat pumps in England
Homes in Wilmslow can use the Boiler Upgrade Scheme, which takes £7,500 off the cost of an air source heat pump when it replaces fossil-fuel or electric heating. Replacing oil or LPG heating qualifies for £9,000 for installations from 21 July 2026 to 31 March 2027, and air-to-air systems for £2,500. The MCS-certified installer named in your quote applies for the grant and deducts it from the price.

Heat pump repairs in Wilmslow: questions
How much does a visit cost in Wilmslow?
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.
How often should a heat pump in Wilmslow 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 Alderley Edge?
Yes. We arrange heat pump servicing and repairs in Alderley Edge, which is about 2 miles south of Wilmslow, and across Cheshire.
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.
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.
