Before you book: heat pump repairs in Rosyth

Aftercare matters as much as installation. For a heat pump in Rosyth 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.

Repairs in Rosyth that need a part ordered are explained and priced before the engineer leaves. For repeated faults in Rosyth, the engineer looks at the system design as well as the failed part.

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.

  • 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
  • Rooms or hot water not getting warm enough

What's included

  • System refill, venting and recommissioning after the repair
  • 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
  • Testing of sensors, pumps, valves, pressures and electrics
  • Refrigerant repairs by an F-gas certified engineer where needed

We repair heat pumps in Rosyth whoever installed them, including older monobloc and split systems.

Heat pump repairs in Rosyth: questions

Can you work on a heat pump in Rosyth that someone else installed?

Yes. We arrange servicing and repairs for most air source heat pumps in Rosyth, whoever fitted them. Tell us the make and model when you get in touch.

What should I check before booking a visit in Rosyth?

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.

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.

Can you repair a heat pump installed by another company?

Yes. We carry out fault-finding and repairs on heat pumps installed by other companies, including monobloc and split systems. Tell us the make, model and approximate age when you get in touch, plus any error code shown. If the system is still under the manufacturer's warranty, it may be quicker to contact the original installer or manufacturer first.

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.
