Heat pump repairs in Leigh: what to expect
Whoever installed your heat pump, aftercare can be arranged in Leigh. Tell us the make and model and roughly how old it is, and we will set out what the visit involves before you book.
Heat pump owners in Leigh can arrange a fault-finding visit at a rate agreed before an engineer attends. We repair heat pumps in Leigh whoever installed them, including older monobloc and split systems.
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
- Heat pumps installed by another company that need a second opinion
- Systems losing pressure or needing frequent topping up
What's included
- 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
- Supply and fitting of replacement parts
- Reading of error history and operating data
Across Leigh and Greater Manchester, refrigerant repairs on split systems are carried out by an F-gas certified engineer.
Grants and rules for heat pumps in England
Homes in Leigh 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 Leigh: questions
What should I check before booking a visit in Leigh?
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.
Do you also cover Atherton?
Yes. We arrange heat pump servicing and repairs in Atherton, which is about 2 miles north-east of Leigh, and across Greater Manchester.
Can you work on a heat pump in Leigh that someone else installed?
Yes. We arrange servicing and repairs for most air source heat pumps in Leigh, whoever fitted them. Tell us the make and model when you get in touch.
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.
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.
