Heat pump repairs for Walkden homes
Whoever installed your heat pump, aftercare can be arranged in Walkden. Tell us the make and model and roughly how old it is, and we will set out what the visit involves before you book.
We repair heat pumps in Walkden whoever installed them, including older monobloc and split systems. Heat pump owners in Walkden can arrange a fault-finding visit at a rate agreed before an engineer attends.
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.
- Systems losing pressure or needing frequent topping up
- Heat pumps showing an error code or fault light
- 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
- Refrigerant repairs by an F-gas certified engineer where needed
- Fault-finding visit at a rate agreed before attending
- Testing of sensors, pumps, valves, pressures and electrics
Across Walkden 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
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 Walkden quote.

Heat pump repairs in Walkden: questions
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 Swinton?
Yes. We arrange heat pump servicing and repairs in Swinton, which is about 2 miles south-east of Walkden, and across Greater Manchester.
How much does a visit cost in Walkden?
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.
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.
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.
