Heat Pump Compressor Costs – What to Expect

The compressor is the heart of a heat pump, and when it fails, the price tag can surprise you. A basic replacement part can start around £300, but once you add labor, taxes, and any needed refrigerant, the total often lands between £600 and £1,200. The exact cost depends on the model, the age of the unit, and whether you need a brand‑new compressor or a refurbished one. Older systems sometimes require upgrades to meet current efficiency standards, which can push the bill higher.

Before you sign off on a repair, ask the technician for a detailed quote that breaks down parts, labor, and any extra fees. It’s also worth checking if your warranty or home insurance covers part of the expense. If the repair cost is close to half the price of a new heat pump, it might be smarter to replace the whole system—especially if your unit is over 10 years old.

Here are a couple of quick ways to keep costs down: make sure the unit is cleaned regularly, replace filters every 1‑3 months, and schedule a yearly check‑up. A clean system runs cooler, putting less strain on the compressor and extending its life. Small preventative steps can save you hundreds in the long run.

Why Your Heat Pump Isn’t Cooling – Quick Fixes

If the heat pump runs but the house stays warm, you’re probably dealing with one of three common culprits: low refrigerant, a dirty air filter, or a blocked outdoor coil. Low refrigerant usually means there’s a leak, which requires a professional to locate and repair before refilling. Trying to top it up yourself can be dangerous and often violates local regulations.

First, check the indoor filter. A clogged filter reduces airflow, making the system work harder and limiting cooling. Swap it out for a fresh one; it’s an easy fix that takes under five minutes. Next, inspect the outdoor unit. Leaves, dust, or debris can coat the coil and stop heat exchange. A quick vacuum or garden hose rinse can clear the blockage, but be gentle to avoid bending fins.

If those steps don’t bring the chill back, the thermostat might be set incorrectly or need a new battery. Some models have a “heat mode” lock that overrides cooling—double‑check the settings. When basic troubleshooting fails, it’s time to call a pro. A qualified technician can test pressure levels, examine electrical components, and ensure your system is safe to run.

Remember, regular maintenance is the best insurance against cooling problems. A yearly service check can spot issues before they become costly breakdowns.
