Heat pump repairs for Kinross homes
Whoever installed your heat pump, aftercare can be arranged in Kinross. Tell us the make and model and roughly how old it is, and we will set out what the visit involves before you book.
Repairs in Kinross that need a part ordered are explained and priced before the engineer leaves. For repeated faults in Kinross, the engineer looks at the system design as well as the failed part.
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
- Rooms or hot water not getting warm enough
- Heat pumps showing an error code or fault light
What's included
- System refill, venting and recommissioning after the repair
- Fault-finding visit at a rate agreed before attending
- Supply and fitting of replacement parts
- Refrigerant repairs by an F-gas certified engineer where needed
- Reading of error history and operating data
Across Kinross and Perth and Kinross, refrigerant repairs on split systems are carried out by an F-gas certified engineer.
Grants and rules for heat pumps in Scotland
In Scotland, heat pump funding comes through Home Energy Scotland rather than the Boiler Upgrade Scheme: a grant of up to £7,500 (up to £1,500 extra for eligible rural and island homes) and an optional interest-free loan of up to £7,500. For a Kinross home, apply and receive the written offer before the installation date is fixed.

Heat pump repairs in Kinross: questions
Can you work on a heat pump in Kinross that someone else installed?
Yes. We arrange servicing and repairs for most air source heat pumps in Kinross, whoever fitted them. Tell us the make and model when you get in touch.
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.
Do you also cover Dunfermline?
Yes. We arrange heat pump servicing and repairs in Dunfermline, which is about 9 miles south of Kinross, and across Perth and Kinross.
Why is my heat pump showing an error code?
An error code is the heat pump's way of reporting a problem it has detected, such as low water flow, a sensor reading out of range or a communication fault between units. Note the code and check the manual, as some codes clear after a simple reset or pressure top-up. If it returns, an engineer can trace the underlying cause.
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.
