Before you book: heat pump repairs in Aldridge
Aftercare matters as much as installation. For a heat pump in Aldridge 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 Aldridge can ice more heavily, so siting is checked as part of any icing fault. Heat pump owners in Aldridge can arrange a fault-finding visit at a rate agreed before an engineer attends.
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.
- Heat pumps installed by another company that need a second opinion
- Systems losing pressure or needing frequent topping up
- Outdoor units that have become noisy, iced up or keep switching on and off
What's included
- 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
- Testing of sensors, pumps, valves, pressures and electrics
- Supply and fitting of replacement parts
- Reading of error history and operating data
Across Aldridge and the West Midlands, refrigerant repairs on split systems are carried out by an F-gas certified engineer.

How often should a heat pump in Aldridge 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.
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.

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.
