Before you book: heat pump repairs in Bath

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.

We repair heat pumps in Bath whoever installed them, including older monobloc and split systems. Across Bath and Somerset, 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.

  • Outdoor units that have become noisy, iced up or keep switching on and off
  • Heat pumps installed by another company that need a second opinion
  • Rooms or hot water not getting warm enough

What's included

  • Reading of error history and operating data
  • Testing of sensors, pumps, valves, pressures and electrics
  • A clear explanation of the fault and a price for the repair before work goes ahead
  • Refrigerant repairs by an F-gas certified engineer where needed
  • Fault-finding visit at a rate agreed before attending

For repeated faults in Bath, the engineer looks at the system design as well as the failed part.

Grants and rules for heat pumps in England

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 Bath quote.

Designing for Bath's winters

7 h 51 minDaylight on the shortest day
16 h 37 minDaylight on the longest day
15°Noon sun height in December
51.38°NLatitude of Bath

Bath sees roughly 7 hours 51 minutes of daylight in late December against 16 hours 37 minutes in June. Milder southern winters suit heat pumps well, though the system is still sized for a cold snap rather than an average day.

Heat pump repairs in Bath: questions

How often should a heat pump in Bath 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.

How much does a visit cost in Bath?

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.

Do you also cover Keynsham?

Yes. We arrange heat pump servicing and repairs in Keynsham, which is about 6 miles north-west of Bath, and across Somerset.

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.

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.
