What to know about heat pump repairs in Bellshill
Whoever installed your heat pump, aftercare can be arranged in Bellshill. 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 Bellshill and Lanarkshire, refrigerant repairs on split systems are carried out by an F-gas certified engineer. Repairs in Bellshill 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
- Rooms or hot water not getting warm enough
- Heat pumps installed by another company that need a second opinion
What's included
- Reading of error history and operating data
- Testing of sensors, pumps, valves, pressures and electrics
- Supply and fitting of replacement parts
- Refrigerant repairs by an F-gas certified engineer where needed
- Fault-finding visit at a rate agreed before attending
Heat pump owners in Bellshill can arrange a fault-finding visit at a rate agreed before an engineer attends.

Heat pump repairs in Bellshill: questions
What should I check before booking a visit in Bellshill?
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 work on a heat pump in Bellshill that someone else installed?
Yes. We arrange servicing and repairs for most air source heat pumps in Bellshill, whoever fitted them. Tell us the make and model when you get in touch.
Do you also cover Motherwell?
Yes. We arrange heat pump servicing and repairs in Motherwell, which is about 2 miles south-east of Bellshill, and across Lanarkshire.
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.
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.
