Heat pump repairs in Tiverton: what to expect
Whoever installed your heat pump, aftercare can be arranged in Tiverton. 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 Tiverton and Devon, refrigerant repairs on split systems are carried out by an F-gas certified engineer. Heat pump owners in Tiverton 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.
- Rooms or hot water not getting warm enough
- Heat pumps showing an error code or fault light
- Outdoor units that have become noisy, iced up or keep switching on and off
What's included
- Testing of sensors, pumps, valves, pressures and electrics
- Refrigerant repairs by an F-gas certified engineer where needed
- 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
For repeated faults in Tiverton, the engineer looks at the system design as well as the failed part.

Heat pump repairs in Tiverton: questions
Can you work on a heat pump in Tiverton that someone else installed?
Yes. We arrange servicing and repairs for most air source heat pumps in Tiverton, whoever fitted them. Tell us the make and model when you get in touch.
How often should a heat pump in Tiverton 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.
Will the engineer need access indoors as well as outside?
Usually yes. The outdoor unit, the hot water cylinder, the controls and the pipework and valves indoors are all part of the visit, so allow access to each.
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.
