Heat pump repairs for Accrington 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 Accrington whoever installed them, including older monobloc and split systems. Repairs in Accrington 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.
- Rooms or hot water not getting warm enough
- Systems losing pressure or needing frequent topping up
- Heat pumps showing an error code or fault light
What's included
- Reading of error history and operating data
- Refrigerant repairs by an F-gas certified engineer where needed
- Supply and fitting of replacement parts
- A clear explanation of the fault and a price for the repair before work goes ahead
- System refill, venting and recommissioning after the repair
Across Accrington and Lancashire, 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 Accrington quote.

Heat pump repairs in Accrington: 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.
How much does a visit cost in Accrington?
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 work on a heat pump in Accrington that someone else installed?
Yes. We arrange servicing and repairs for most air source heat pumps in Accrington, whoever fitted them. Tell us the make and model when you get in touch.
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.
