Heat pump repairs for Peacehaven homes
A heat pump that is serviced and set up properly keeps running efficiently for many years. Many heat pump faults trace back to settings, low pressure or a worn part rather than the heat pump itself, and those can usually be put right.
Repairs in Peacehaven that need a part ordered are explained and priced before the engineer leaves. Outdoor units in exposed spots around Peacehaven 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.
- Heat pumps showing an error code or fault light
- Heat pumps installed by another company that need a second opinion
- Outdoor units that have become noisy, iced up or keep switching on and off
What's included
- Refrigerant repairs by an F-gas certified engineer where needed
- Fault-finding visit at a rate agreed before attending
- A clear explanation of the fault and a price for the repair before work goes ahead
- Supply and fitting of replacement parts
- Reading of error history and operating data
For repeated faults in Peacehaven, the engineer looks at the system design as well as the failed part.
Grants and rules for heat pumps in England
Homes in Peacehaven 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.

Designing for Peacehaven's winters
On the shortest day Peacehaven gets about 7 hours 57 minutes of daylight, and the winter sun reaches only around 16° above the horizon at noon. Winters this far south are milder than in most of the UK, which helps a heat pump run at low flow temperatures for much of the season.

Heat pump repairs in Peacehaven: questions
Do you also cover Newhaven?
Yes. We arrange heat pump servicing and repairs in Newhaven, which is about 3 miles east of Peacehaven, and across East Sussex.
How often should a heat pump in Peacehaven 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 work on a heat pump in Peacehaven that someone else installed?
Yes. We arrange servicing and repairs for most air source heat pumps in Peacehaven, whoever fitted them. Tell us the make and model when you get in touch.
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.
