Heat pump repairs in Uckfield: questions
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.
Do you also cover Crowborough?
Yes. We arrange heat pump servicing and repairs in Crowborough, which is about 7 miles north-east of Uckfield, and across East Sussex.
Can you work on a heat pump in Uckfield that someone else installed?
Yes. We arrange servicing and repairs for most air source heat pumps in Uckfield, whoever fitted them. Tell us the make and model when you get in touch.
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.
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.
