Heat pump repairs in Oswestry: what to expect
Whoever installed your heat pump, aftercare can be arranged in Oswestry. Tell us the make and model and roughly how old it is, and we will set out what the visit involves before you book.
For repeated faults in Oswestry, the engineer looks at the system design as well as the failed part. Across Oswestry and Shropshire, 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.
- 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
- A clear explanation of the fault and a price for the repair before work goes ahead
- Testing of sensors, pumps, valves, pressures and electrics
- Reading of error history and operating data
- System refill, venting and recommissioning after the repair
- Supply and fitting of replacement parts
Outdoor units in exposed spots around Oswestry can ice more heavily, so siting is checked as part of any icing fault.
Grants and rules for heat pumps in England
In England the Boiler Upgrade Scheme gives £7,500 towards an air source heat pump (£9,000 if it replaces oil or LPG, from 21 July 2026 to 31 March 2027), and since 28 April 2026 a valid EPC is no longer needed. The grant is applied for by the MCS-certified installer and shown as a deduction on your Oswestry quote.

Heat pump repairs in Oswestry: questions
How much does a visit cost in Oswestry?
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.
Can you work on a heat pump in Oswestry that someone else installed?
Yes. We arrange servicing and repairs for most air source heat pumps in Oswestry, whoever fitted them. Tell us the make and model when you get in touch.
Do you also cover Shrewsbury?
Yes. We arrange heat pump servicing and repairs in Shrewsbury, which is about 16 miles south-east of Oswestry, and across Shropshire.
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.
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.
