Heat pump repairs for Greenock homes
Aftercare matters as much as installation. For a heat pump in Greenock 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.
Repairs in Greenock that need a part ordered are explained and priced before the engineer leaves. We repair heat pumps in Greenock whoever installed them, including older monobloc and split systems.
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
- Outdoor units that have become noisy, iced up or keep switching on and off
What's included
- Refrigerant repairs by an F-gas certified engineer where needed
- Testing of sensors, pumps, valves, pressures and electrics
- System refill, venting and recommissioning after the repair
- A clear explanation of the fault and a price for the repair before work goes ahead
- Reading of error history and operating data
Across Greenock and Renfrewshire and Inverclyde, refrigerant repairs on split systems are carried out by an F-gas certified engineer.

Heat pump repairs in Greenock: questions
How much does a visit cost in Greenock?
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.
How often should a heat pump in Greenock 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 work on a heat pump in Greenock that someone else installed?
Yes. We arrange servicing and repairs for most air source heat pumps in Greenock, whoever fitted them. Tell us the make and model when you get in touch.
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.
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.
