What to know about heat pump repairs in Cardigan
Whoever installed your heat pump, aftercare can be arranged in Cardigan. Tell us the make and model and roughly how old it is, and we will set out what the visit involves before you book.
For repeated faults in Cardigan, the engineer looks at the system design as well as the failed part. Across Cardigan and Dyfed, refrigerant repairs on split systems are carried out by an F-gas certified engineer.
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
- Systems losing pressure or needing frequent topping up
- Heat pumps installed by another company that need a second opinion
What's included
- Testing of sensors, pumps, valves, pressures and electrics
- Reading of error history and operating data
- Supply and fitting of replacement parts
- Refrigerant repairs by an F-gas certified engineer where needed
- System refill, venting and recommissioning after the repair
Outdoor units in exposed spots around Cardigan can ice more heavily, so siting is checked as part of any icing fault.
Grants and rules for heat pumps in Wales
In Wales the Boiler Upgrade Scheme gives £7,500 towards an air source heat pump (£9,000 if it replaces oil or LPG, from 21 July 2026 to 31 March 2027; £2,500 for air-to-air). The MCS-certified installer named in your quote applies to Ofgem for you, and the grant comes off your Cardigan quote.

Heat pump repairs in Cardigan: questions
What should I check before booking a visit in Cardigan?
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.
How much does a visit cost in Cardigan?
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.
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.
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.
