Heat pump repairs for Lutterworth homes
Aftercare matters as much as installation. For a heat pump in Lutterworth the visit checks the outdoor unit, the water circuit and the controls, and the engineer explains any settings that would help the system run more efficiently.
Outdoor units in exposed spots around Lutterworth can ice more heavily, so siting is checked as part of any icing fault. Across Lutterworth and Leicestershire, refrigerant repairs on split systems are carried out by an F-gas certified engineer.
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
- Testing of sensors, pumps, valves, pressures and electrics
- Fault-finding visit at a rate agreed before attending
- System refill, venting and recommissioning after the repair
For repeated faults in Lutterworth, the engineer looks at the system design as well as the failed part.
Grants and rules for heat pumps in England
Homes in Lutterworth 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 Lutterworth: questions
Do you also cover Rugby?
Yes. We arrange heat pump servicing and repairs in Rugby, which is about 6 miles south-west of Lutterworth, and across Leicestershire.
Can you work on a heat pump in Lutterworth that someone else installed?
Yes. We arrange servicing and repairs for most air source heat pumps in Lutterworth, whoever fitted them. Tell us the make and model when you get in touch.
How often should a heat pump in Lutterworth 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 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.
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.
