Heat pump repairs for Aviemore homes
A heat pump that is serviced and set up properly keeps running efficiently for many years. Many heat pump faults trace back to settings, low pressure or a worn part rather than the heat pump itself, and those can usually be put right.
We repair heat pumps in Aviemore whoever installed them, including older monobloc and split systems. Repairs in Aviemore 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.
- Heat pumps showing an error code or fault light
- Heat pumps installed by another company that need a second opinion
- Systems losing pressure or needing frequent topping up
What's included
- Reading of error history and operating data
- 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
Heat pump owners in Aviemore can arrange a fault-finding visit at a rate agreed before an engineer attends.

Short winter days in Aviemore and what they mean
On the shortest day Aviemore gets only about 6 hours 40 minutes of daylight, with the sun around 9° up at noon. Long Scottish winters mean the heat pump runs for much of the year, so careful sizing, good controls and correctly sized radiators make a real difference.

Heat pump repairs in Aviemore: questions
How often should a heat pump in Aviemore 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.
Can you work on a heat pump in Aviemore that someone else installed?
Yes. We arrange servicing and repairs for most air source heat pumps in Aviemore, whoever fitted them. Tell us the make and model when you get in touch.
Do you also cover Inverness?
Yes. We arrange heat pump servicing and repairs in Inverness, which is about 25 miles north-west of Aviemore, and across the Highlands and Islands.
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.
