Before you book: heat pump repairs in Tamworth
Whoever installed your heat pump, aftercare can be arranged in Tamworth. Tell us the make and model and roughly how old it is, and we will set out what the visit involves before you book.
Repairs in Tamworth that need a part ordered are explained and priced before the engineer leaves. Across Tamworth and Staffordshire, 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 showing an error code or fault light
- Systems losing pressure or needing frequent topping up
What's included
- Testing of sensors, pumps, valves, pressures and electrics
- Refrigerant repairs by an F-gas certified engineer where needed
- System refill, venting and recommissioning after the repair
- Fault-finding visit at a rate agreed before attending
- A clear explanation of the fault and a price for the repair before work goes ahead
Heat pump owners in Tamworth can arrange a fault-finding visit at a rate agreed before an engineer attends.
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 Tamworth quote.

Heat pump repairs in Tamworth: questions
How often should a heat pump in Tamworth 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 Tamworth that someone else installed?
Yes. We arrange servicing and repairs for most air source heat pumps in Tamworth, whoever fitted them. Tell us the make and model when you get in touch.
What should I check before booking a visit in Tamworth?
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.
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.
