Heat pump repairs for Horwich homes
Whoever installed your heat pump, aftercare can be arranged in Horwich. Tell us the make and model and roughly how old it is, and we will set out what the visit involves before you book.
Across Horwich and Greater Manchester, refrigerant repairs on split systems are carried out by an F-gas certified engineer. Repairs in Horwich 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.
- Outdoor units that have become noisy, iced up or keep switching on and off
- Systems losing pressure or needing frequent topping up
- Rooms or hot water not getting warm enough
What's included
- Supply and fitting of replacement parts
- Testing of sensors, pumps, valves, pressures and electrics
- Reading of error history and operating data
- Fault-finding visit at a rate agreed before attending
- System refill, venting and recommissioning after the repair
We repair heat pumps in Horwich whoever installed them, including older monobloc and split systems.
Grants and rules for heat pumps in England
Homes in Horwich can use the Boiler Upgrade Scheme, which takes £7,500 off the cost of an air source heat pump when it replaces fossil-fuel or electric heating. Replacing oil or LPG heating qualifies for £9,000 for installations from 21 July 2026 to 31 March 2027, and air-to-air systems for £2,500. The MCS-certified installer named in your quote applies for the grant and deducts it from the price.

Heat pump repairs in Horwich: questions
Can you work on a heat pump in Horwich that someone else installed?
Yes. We arrange servicing and repairs for most air source heat pumps in Horwich, whoever fitted them. Tell us the make and model when you get in touch.
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.
How often should a heat pump in Horwich 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.
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.
Why is my heat pump showing an error code?
An error code is the heat pump's way of reporting a problem it has detected, such as low water flow, a sensor reading out of range or a communication fault between units. Note the code and check the manual, as some codes clear after a simple reset or pressure top-up. If it returns, an engineer can trace the underlying cause.
