Heat pump repairs for Risca homes
Whoever installed your heat pump, aftercare can be arranged in Risca. 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 Risca can arrange a fault-finding visit at a rate agreed before an engineer attends. Repairs in Risca 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.
- Systems losing pressure or needing frequent topping up
- Heat pumps installed by another company that need a second opinion
- Rooms or hot water not getting warm enough
What's included
- Refrigerant repairs by an F-gas certified engineer where needed
- Fault-finding visit at a rate agreed before attending
- A clear explanation of the fault and a price for the repair before work goes ahead
- Supply and fitting of replacement parts
- Reading of error history and operating data
Outdoor units in exposed spots around Risca can ice more heavily, so siting is checked as part of any icing fault.
Grants and rules for heat pumps in Wales

Heat pump repairs in Risca: questions
How much does a visit cost in Risca?
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.
What should I check before booking a visit in Risca?
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.
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.
