What to know about heat pump repairs in Oadby
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.
For repeated faults in Oadby, the engineer looks at the system design as well as the failed part. Heat pump owners in Oadby can arrange a fault-finding visit at a rate agreed before an engineer attends.
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
- Heat pumps showing an error code or fault light
- Heat pumps installed by another company that need a second opinion
What's included
- System refill, venting and recommissioning after the repair
- Fault-finding visit at a rate agreed before attending
- Testing of sensors, pumps, valves, pressures and electrics
- Supply and fitting of replacement parts
- A clear explanation of the fault and a price for the repair before work goes ahead
Outdoor units in exposed spots around Oadby can ice more heavily, so siting is checked as part of any icing fault.

Heat pump repairs in Oadby: questions
What should I check before booking a visit in Oadby?
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 Oadby that someone else installed?
Yes. We arrange servicing and repairs for most air source heat pumps in Oadby, whoever fitted them. Tell us the make and model when you get in touch.
How often should a heat pump in Oadby 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.
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.
How much does a heat pump repair cost?
Heat pump repairs have a typical range of £90–£1,100, including VAT, depending on the part and labour involved. Sensor replacements sit at the lower end, while control boards and refrigerant repairs on split systems sit higher. Every repair starts with a fault-finding visit, with a guide price of £90–£180 for the first hour, and the repair is priced before work goes ahead.
