Whoever installed your heat pump, aftercare can be arranged in Wigston Magna. Tell us the make and model and roughly how old it is, and we will set out what the visit involves before you book.
Outdoor units in exposed spots around Wigston Magna can ice more heavily, so siting is checked as part of any icing fault. Across Wigston Magna 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.
- Rooms or hot water not getting warm enough
- Heat pumps installed by another company that need a second opinion
- Systems losing pressure or needing frequent topping up
What's included
- Testing of sensors, pumps, valves, pressures and electrics
- Fault-finding visit at a rate agreed before attending
- Supply and fitting of replacement parts
- A clear explanation of the fault and a price for the repair before work goes ahead

Heat pump repairs in Wigston Magna: questions
What should I check before booking a visit in Wigston Magna?
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.

Yes. We arrange servicing and repairs for most air source heat pumps in Wigston Magna, whoever fitted them. Tell us the make and model when you get in touch.
How much does a visit cost in Wigston Magna?
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.
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?

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.
