What does heat pump repair involve?
Diagnose and fix faults on air-source and ground-source heat pumps. Vetted, insured engineers — F-Gas certified for refrigerant work.
Heat pump repair covers diagnosing and fixing faults on air-source or ground-source heat pump systems — the indoor unit, outdoor unit (for air-source), refrigerant circuit, controls, and the connected wet system (cylinder, buffer, manifolds). Common faults include refrigerant leaks, frozen evaporator coils, failing fan motors, electronic expansion valve issues, and control board errors. Typical warning signs are error codes on the controller, no heat or lukewarm water, the outdoor unit not running, or unusual noises during the defrost cycle. Repair sits alongside routine heat pump servicing — an annual check that keeps efficiency high and protects most manufacturer warranties.
In Ireland, heat pump repair is increasingly in demand as the early wave of installs (2018–2022) reaches its first major service intervals. Refrigerant work requires F-Gas certification — not every plumber or HVAC engineer has it. Before any work touches the refrigerant circuit, ask whether the engineer holds F-Gas (category I or II) and whether they have manufacturer training for your brand (Daikin, Mitsubishi, Samsung, Vaillant, etc.). A qualified engineer will start with a diagnostic visit, confirm the fault, and set out your options — including whether repairing an older unit still makes economic sense compared with replacing it.

How much does heat pump repair cost in Ireland?
Indicative pricing — your actual quote will vary
Heat pump repair pricing depends heavily on the fault, the brand, and how accessible the unit is. Diagnostic time is typically billable separately from any parts or refrigerant work that follows, so expect the job to be priced in two stages — first the fault-finding, then the fix. Treat the figures below as indicative: the itemised quote for your specific system is what counts.
A standard diagnostic callout runs €100–€180 and identifies the issue. Simple sensor or thermistor swaps cost €150–€350 fitted. A control board replacement is €350–€800. Refrigerant top-up after a small leak repair is typically €250–€550. Compressor replacement — the most expensive single component failure — runs €1,500–€3,500 fitted, after which it's worth weighing up whether replacement of the whole unit is more economical. Before approving any major repair, insist on an itemised quote that separates diagnostic time, parts, refrigerant, and labour — it makes the repair-versus-replace decision much clearer.
These are indicative ranges based on typical Irish jobs. Final pricing depends on scope, materials, and urgency. On Jobiit your matched trader sends one fully itemised quote (labour, materials, VAT) so there are no surprises.

Heat Pump Repair FAQs
How do I know if my heat pump needs repair vs servicing?
If the system is producing heat normally but you want a check-up, that's annual service. If you're seeing faults — error codes on the controller, no heat, water not getting hot enough, the outdoor unit not running, or unusual noises — that's repair. Service typically runs €100–€180. Repair starts with diagnostic and varies with the fault. Don't ignore error codes that auto-clear: they often reappear.
Why is my heat pump struggling in cold weather?
Air-source heat pumps work harder in temperatures below 0°C — that's normal. But struggling could indicate insufficient airflow (blocked air filter, debris around the outdoor unit), a failing defrost cycle (ice buildup on coils), low refrigerant, or a system that was undersized for the property. A diagnostic can usually identify which it is in 60–90 minutes.
Are parts still available for older heat pumps?
Most major brands hold parts for 10+ years post-discontinuation, but specialty refrigerants used pre-2020 (R410A, R407C) are getting scarcer and pricier. If your unit is over 12 years old and needs significant repair, ask the engineer about the cost of replacement vs repair — it's often the right time to upgrade, especially with current SEAI grants for new heat pump installs.
Should I service my heat pump every year?
Yes. An annual service catches small issues early, keeps efficiency high, and is required to maintain most manufacturer warranties. Service includes filter cleaning, refrigerant pressure check, electrical safety check, control settings review, and a heat output test. It typically takes 60–90 minutes and costs €100–€180. Skipping service often voids warranty cover on parts and labour.
Can a regular plumber repair a heat pump?
Plumbers can handle the wet side — cylinder, buffer, radiators, manifolds, controls. But anything involving the refrigerant circuit (compressor, expansion valve, evaporator, condenser, pipework) legally requires F-Gas certification. Many Irish heat pump installers hold both. If a plumber says they can repair your heat pump, ask specifically if they're F-Gas certified before booking refrigerant work.
