Before you book: heat pump repairs in Crieff
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.
Heat pump owners in Crieff can arrange a fault-finding visit at a rate agreed before an engineer attends. Repairs in Crieff 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.
- Heat pumps installed by another company that need a second opinion
- Outdoor units that have become noisy, iced up or keep switching on and off
- Rooms or hot water not getting warm enough
What's included
- System refill, venting and recommissioning after the repair
- 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
We repair heat pumps in Crieff whoever installed them, including older monobloc and split systems.
Grants and rules for heat pumps in Scotland
The Boiler Upgrade Scheme does not apply in Scotland. Instead, homeowners in Crieff can apply to Home Energy Scotland for a grant of up to £7,500 towards a heat pump, with up to £1,500 more for eligible rural and island homes, plus an optional interest-free loan of up to £7,500.

Heat pump repairs in Crieff: questions
How often should a heat pump in Crieff 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.
Do you also cover Auchterarder?
Yes. We arrange heat pump servicing and repairs in Auchterarder, which is about 7 miles south-east of Crieff, and across Perth and Kinross.
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.
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.
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.
