Heat pump repairs for Heywood homes
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.
We repair heat pumps in Heywood whoever installed them, including older monobloc and split systems. Across Heywood and Greater Manchester, refrigerant repairs on split systems are carried out by an F-gas certified engineer.
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
- Systems losing pressure or needing frequent topping up
What's included
- Testing of sensors, pumps, valves, pressures and electrics
- A clear explanation of the fault and a price for the repair before work goes ahead
- Supply and fitting of replacement parts
- Refrigerant repairs by an F-gas certified engineer where needed
- Fault-finding visit at a rate agreed before attending
For repeated faults in Heywood, the engineer looks at the system design as well as the failed part.
Grants and rules for heat pumps in England
In England the Boiler Upgrade Scheme gives £7,500 towards an air source heat pump (£9,000 if it replaces oil or LPG, from 21 July 2026 to 31 March 2027), and since 28 April 2026 a valid EPC is no longer needed. The grant is applied for by the MCS-certified installer and shown as a deduction on your Heywood quote.

Winter daylight and heating in Heywood
Heywood sees roughly 7 hours 27 minutes of daylight in December and 17 hours 03 minutes in June. With a longer heating season than the south, the gains from low flow temperatures and good controls add up over the year.
What happens when you book in Heywood?
- Tell us the make if you know it, the error code or symptoms, and send photos of the unit and controller.
- We confirm the fault-finding rate and arrange a visit in Heywood.
- The engineer diagnoses the fault and gives you a written price for the repair.
- Parts are ordered once you agree, and the repair is completed and tested.
Heat pump repairs in Heywood: questions
How much does a visit cost in Heywood?
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.
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.
Do you also cover Middleton?
Yes. We arrange heat pump servicing and repairs in Middleton, which is about 3 miles south of Heywood, and across Greater Manchester.
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.
