Before you book: heat pump repairs in Stoke-on-Trent
Aftercare matters as much as installation. For a heat pump in Stoke-on-Trent 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.
Outdoor units in exposed spots around Stoke-on-Trent can ice more heavily, so siting is checked as part of any icing fault. For repeated faults in Stoke-on-Trent, 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.
- Rooms or hot water not getting warm enough
- Systems losing pressure or needing frequent topping up
- 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
- Refrigerant repairs by an F-gas certified engineer where needed
- Supply and fitting of replacement parts
- Reading of error history and operating data
Repairs in Stoke-on-Trent that need a part ordered are explained and priced before the engineer leaves.

Heat pump repairs in Stoke-on-Trent: questions
Can you work on a heat pump in Stoke-on-Trent that someone else installed?
Yes. We arrange servicing and repairs for most air source heat pumps in Stoke-on-Trent, whoever fitted them. Tell us the make and model when you get in touch.
How often should a heat pump in Stoke-on-Trent 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.
What should I check before booking a visit in Stoke-on-Trent?
Note any error code on the controller, check the system pressure gauge if you have one, and make sure the outdoor unit is clear of leaves or snow. Photos of the unit and controller help.
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.
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.
