Before you book: heat pump repairs in Burntisland
Whoever installed your heat pump, aftercare can be arranged in Burntisland. 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 Burntisland whoever installed them, including older monobloc and split systems. Repairs in Burntisland that need a part ordered are explained and priced before the engineer leaves.
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 installed by another company that need a second opinion
- Heat pumps showing an error code or fault light
- Systems losing pressure or needing frequent topping up
What's included
- Refrigerant repairs by an F-gas certified engineer where needed
- Fault-finding visit at a rate agreed before attending
- System refill, venting and recommissioning after the repair
- Testing of sensors, pumps, valves, pressures and electrics
- Reading of error history and operating data
Across Burntisland and Fife, refrigerant repairs on split systems are carried out by an F-gas certified engineer.
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 Burntisland home, apply and receive the written offer before the installation date is fixed.

Heat pump repairs in Burntisland: questions
What should I check before booking a visit in Burntisland?
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.
Can you work on a heat pump in Burntisland that someone else installed?
Yes. We arrange servicing and repairs for most air source heat pumps in Burntisland, whoever fitted them. Tell us the make and model when you get in touch.
How much does a visit cost in Burntisland?
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.
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.
