What to know about heat pump repairs in Taunton
Whoever installed your heat pump, aftercare can be arranged in Taunton. Tell us the make and model and roughly how old it is, and we will set out what the visit involves before you book.
Across Taunton and Somerset, refrigerant repairs on split systems are carried out by an F-gas certified engineer. For repeated faults in Taunton, 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.
- 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
- Heat pumps showing an error code or fault light
What's included
- Supply and fitting of replacement parts
- Fault-finding visit at a rate agreed before attending
- Testing of sensors, pumps, valves, pressures and electrics
- Reading of error history and operating data
- System refill, venting and recommissioning after the repair
Outdoor units in exposed spots around Taunton can ice more heavily, so siting is checked as part of any icing fault.
Grants and rules for heat pumps in England
Homes in Taunton can use the Boiler Upgrade Scheme, which takes £7,500 off the cost of an air source heat pump when it replaces fossil-fuel or electric heating. Replacing oil or LPG heating qualifies for £9,000 for installations from 21 July 2026 to 31 March 2027, and air-to-air systems for £2,500. The MCS-certified installer named in your quote applies for the grant and deducts it from the price.

Designing for Taunton's winters
On the shortest day Taunton gets about 7 hours 54 minutes of daylight, and the winter sun reaches only around 16° above the horizon at noon. Winters this far south are milder than in most of the UK, which helps a heat pump run at low flow temperatures for much of the season.
How a visit works in Taunton
- Tell us the make if you know it, the error code or symptoms, and send photos of the unit and controller.
- We confirm the fault-finding rate and arrange a visit in Taunton.
- The engineer diagnoses the fault and gives you a written price for the repair.
- Parts are ordered once you agree, and the repair is completed and tested.
Heat pump repairs in Taunton: questions
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 Bridgwater?
Yes. We arrange heat pump servicing and repairs in Bridgwater, which is about 9 miles north-east of Taunton, and across Somerset.
Can you work on a heat pump in Taunton that someone else installed?
Yes. We arrange servicing and repairs for most air source heat pumps in Taunton, whoever fitted them. Tell us the make and model when you get in touch.
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.
Can you repair a heat pump installed by another company?
Yes. We carry out fault-finding and repairs on heat pumps installed by other companies, including monobloc and split systems. Tell us the make, model and approximate age when you get in touch, plus any error code shown. If the system is still under the manufacturer's warranty, it may be quicker to contact the original installer or manufacturer first.
