Heat pump repairs for Bathgate homes
Aftercare matters as much as installation. For a heat pump in Bathgate the visit checks the outdoor unit, the water circuit and the controls, and the engineer explains any settings that would help the system run more efficiently.
Across Bathgate and Edinburgh and the Lothians, refrigerant repairs on split systems are carried out by an F-gas certified engineer. Outdoor units in exposed spots around Bathgate 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
- Outdoor units that have become noisy, iced up or keep switching on and off
- Heat pumps installed by another company that need a second opinion
What's included
- Reading of error history and operating data
- System refill, venting and recommissioning after the repair
- Supply and fitting of replacement parts
- Testing of sensors, pumps, valves, pressures and electrics
- Fault-finding visit at a rate agreed before attending
For repeated faults in Bathgate, the engineer looks at the system design as well as the failed part.

Heat pump repairs in Bathgate: 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.
What should I check before booking a visit in Bathgate?
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.
Do you also cover Livingston?
Yes. We arrange heat pump servicing and repairs in Livingston, which is about 5 miles east of Bathgate, and across Edinburgh and the Lothians.
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.
