Heat pump repairs for Great Barr homes
Whoever installed your heat pump, aftercare can be arranged in Great Barr. Tell us the make and model and roughly how old it is, and we will set out what the visit involves before you book.
Heat pump owners in Great Barr can arrange a fault-finding visit at a rate agreed before an engineer attends. Outdoor units in exposed spots around Great Barr can ice more heavily, so siting is checked as part of any icing fault.
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 showing an error code or fault light
- Rooms or hot water not getting warm enough
- Outdoor units that have become noisy, iced up or keep switching on and off
What's included

- Fault-finding visit at a rate agreed before attending
- System refill, venting and recommissioning after the repair
- Refrigerant repairs by an F-gas certified engineer where needed

Repairs in Great Barr that need a part ordered are explained and priced before the engineer leaves.

Heat pump repairs in Great Barr: questions
How much does a visit cost in Great Barr?
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.
What should I check before booking a visit in Great Barr?
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.
Do you also cover Walsall?
Yes. We arrange heat pump servicing and repairs in Walsall, which is about 3 miles north-west of Great Barr, and across the West Midlands.
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.
How much does a heat pump repair cost?
Heat pump repairs have a typical range of £90–£1,100, including VAT, depending on the part and labour involved. 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.
