Before you book: heat pump repairs in North Berwick
Whoever installed your heat pump, aftercare can be arranged in North Berwick. Tell us the make and model and roughly how old it is, and we will set out what the visit involves before you book.
We repair heat pumps in North Berwick whoever installed them, including older monobloc and split systems. Outdoor units in exposed spots around North Berwick 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.
- Rooms or hot water not getting warm enough
- Outdoor units that have become noisy, iced up or keep switching on and off
- Heat pumps showing an error code or fault light
What's included
- System refill, venting and recommissioning after the repair
- Testing of sensors, pumps, valves, pressures and electrics
- A clear explanation of the fault and a price for the repair before work goes ahead
- Fault-finding visit at a rate agreed before attending
- Supply and fitting of replacement parts
Repairs in North Berwick that need a part ordered are explained and priced before the engineer leaves.
Grants and rules for heat pumps in Scotland
In Scotland, heat pump funding comes through Home Energy Scotland rather than the Boiler Upgrade Scheme: a grant of up to £7,500 (up to £1,500 extra for eligible rural and island homes) and an optional interest-free loan of up to £7,500. For a North Berwick home, apply and receive the written offer before the installation date is fixed.

Short winter days in North Berwick and what they mean
On the shortest day North Berwick gets only about 6 hours 56 minutes of daylight, with the sun around 11° up at noon. Long Scottish winters mean the heat pump runs for much of the year, so careful sizing, good controls and correctly sized radiators make a real difference.

Heat pump repairs in North Berwick: questions
Can you work on a heat pump in North Berwick that someone else installed?
Yes. We arrange servicing and repairs for most air source heat pumps in North Berwick, whoever fitted them. Tell us the make and model when you get in touch.
Do you also cover Haddington?
Yes. We arrange heat pump servicing and repairs in Haddington, which is about 7 miles south of North Berwick, and across Edinburgh and the Lothians.
How often should a heat pump in North Berwick 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.
Is ice on my heat pump a fault?
Some frost on the outdoor unit in cold, damp weather is normal, and the unit clears it with regular defrost cycles, often releasing a little vapour. It becomes a fault when thick ice builds up and does not clear, or when ice blocks the fan. That can point to poor airflow, a failed sensor, drainage problems or low refrigerant, and needs checking.
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.
