Heat pump repairs for Launceston homes
Whoever installed your heat pump, aftercare can be arranged in Launceston. 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 Launceston and Cornwall, refrigerant repairs on split systems are carried out by an F-gas certified engineer. Heat pump owners in Launceston 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 installed by another company that need a second opinion
- Systems losing pressure or needing frequent topping up
- Rooms or hot water not getting warm enough
What's included
- Refrigerant repairs by an F-gas certified engineer where needed
- Supply and fitting of replacement parts
- A clear explanation of the fault and a price for the repair before work goes ahead
- Testing of sensors, pumps, valves, pressures and electrics
- Fault-finding visit at a rate agreed before attending
For repeated faults in Launceston, the engineer looks at the system design as well as the failed part.

Heat pump repairs in Launceston: questions
What should I check before booking a visit in Launceston?
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 Liskeard?
Yes. We arrange heat pump servicing and repairs in Liskeard, which is about 13 miles south of Launceston, and across Cornwall.
How often should a heat pump in Launceston 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.
Can you repair a heat pump installed by another company?
Yes. We carry out fault-finding and repairs on heat pumps installed by other companies, including monobloc and split systems. Tell us the make, model and approximate age when you get in touch, plus any error code shown. If the system is still under the manufacturer's warranty, it may be quicker to contact the original installer or manufacturer first.
