Heat pump repairs for Limavady homes
Whoever installed your heat pump, aftercare can be arranged in Limavady. Tell us the make and model and roughly how old it is, and we will set out what the visit involves before you book.
We repair heat pumps in Limavady whoever installed them, including older monobloc and split systems. Outdoor units in exposed spots around Limavady can ice more heavily, so siting is checked as part of any icing fault.
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 showing an error code or fault light
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
- System refill, venting and recommissioning after the repair
Repairs in Limavady that need a part ordered are explained and priced before the engineer leaves.
Grants and rules for heat pumps in Northern Ireland
Northern Ireland does not have a dedicated heat pump grant for homeowners at present, and the Boiler Upgrade Scheme does not apply here. Heat pumps have sometimes been funded through the Northern Ireland Sustainable Energy Programme, so it is worth checking what is open when you enquire about a home in Limavady.

Heat pump repairs in Limavady: questions
Do you also cover Dungiven?
Yes. We arrange heat pump servicing and repairs in Dungiven, which is about 9 miles south of Limavady, and across County Londonderry.
Can you work on a heat pump in Limavady that someone else installed?
Yes. We arrange servicing and repairs for most air source heat pumps in Limavady, whoever fitted them. Tell us the make and model when you get in touch.
How often should a heat pump in Limavady 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.
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.
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.
