Heat pump repairs in Eastleigh: what to expect
Whoever installed your heat pump, aftercare can be arranged in Eastleigh. 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 Eastleigh and Hampshire, refrigerant repairs on split systems are carried out by an F-gas certified engineer. We repair heat pumps in Eastleigh 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.
- Outdoor units that have become noisy, iced up or keep switching on and off
- Rooms or hot water not getting warm enough
- Systems losing pressure or needing frequent topping up
What's included
- 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
- System refill, venting and recommissioning after the repair
- Refrigerant repairs by an F-gas certified engineer where needed
Repairs in Eastleigh that need a part ordered are explained and priced before the engineer leaves.
Grants and rules for heat pumps in England
Homes in Eastleigh 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 Eastleigh: questions
How often should a heat pump in Eastleigh 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 you also cover Southampton?
Yes. We arrange heat pump servicing and repairs in Southampton, which is about 5 miles south-west of Eastleigh, and across Hampshire.
What should I check before booking a visit in Eastleigh?
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.
Why does my heat pump keep switching on and off?
Frequent starting and stopping, called short cycling, is usually caused by an oversized heat pump, low water flow, too many zones closing at once or controls set with too narrow a range. It reduces efficiency and wears components. An engineer can check the settings, flow rates and design, and can often improve it with control changes before any parts are needed.
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.
