Before you book: heat pump repairs in Dunblane
A heat pump that is serviced and set up properly keeps running efficiently for many years. Many heat pump faults trace back to settings, low pressure or a worn part rather than the heat pump itself, and those can usually be put right.
Heat pump owners in Dunblane can arrange a fault-finding visit at a rate agreed before an engineer attends. For repeated faults in Dunblane, 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.
- Heat pumps showing an error code or fault light
- Heat pumps installed by another company that need a second opinion
- Systems losing pressure or needing frequent topping up
What's included
- A clear explanation of the fault and a price for the repair before work goes ahead
- Reading of error history and operating data
- Fault-finding visit at a rate agreed before attending
- Refrigerant repairs by an F-gas certified engineer where needed
- Testing of sensors, pumps, valves, pressures and electrics
Repairs in Dunblane that need a part ordered are explained and priced before the engineer leaves.

Heat pump repairs in Dunblane: questions
Can you work on a heat pump in Dunblane that someone else installed?
Yes. We arrange servicing and repairs for most air source heat pumps in Dunblane, whoever fitted them. Tell us the make and model when you get in touch.
What should I check before booking a visit in Dunblane?
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.
How much does a visit cost in Dunblane?
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.
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.
Why does my heat pump keep switching on and off?
Frequent starting and stopping, called short cycling, is usually caused by an oversized heat pump, low water flow, too many zones closing at once or controls set with too narrow a range. It reduces efficiency and wears components. An engineer can check the settings, flow rates and design, and can often improve it with control changes before any parts are needed.
