Heat pump servicing in Cockermouth: questions
Do you also cover Workington?
Yes. We arrange heat pump servicing and repairs in Workington, which is about 7 miles west of Cockermouth, and across Cumbria.
Can you work on a heat pump in Cockermouth that someone else installed?
Yes. We arrange servicing and repairs for most air source heat pumps in Cockermouth, whoever fitted them. Tell us the make and model when you get in touch.

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.
How much does a heat pump service cost?
An annual heat pump service has a guide price of £120–£250, including VAT. Where your price sits depends on the type of system, whether it is a split system needing refrigerant checks and whether an unvented cylinder is included. Any parts or repairs found during the service are explained and priced before any work goes ahead.
Can you service a split system?
Yes. Split systems have refrigerant pipes running between the outdoor unit and an indoor unit, and checks on that refrigerant circuit must be done by an F-gas certified engineer. We arrange the service so a suitably certified engineer attends. The water side, controls and cylinder are checked in the same visit, just as on a monobloc system.
