A routine heat-pump service is typically presented here as €120–€180, while fault diagnosis is typically €150–€400. Confirm scope, travel, VAT and parts before booking.
Service versus diagnosis
Routine maintenance follows a planned checklist. Diagnosis investigates a reported problem and may take longer, so the prices are not directly comparable.
For a Cork home, note the system make, model and the conditions when the issue appears. Clear information reduces guesswork and helps the person returning your call decide whether the visit should be routine maintenance or fault diagnosis.
Ask what is included
Confirm the equipment covered, report provided, travel area, consumables and whether any repair work requires separate approval.

Why parts vary
Sensors, pumps, valves, controls and model-specific components have very different prices. A code alone is rarely enough for a firm part quote.

Avoid false economy
Choose based on suitable experience, scope and clear terms rather than the lowest headline figure alone.

What to ask before the visit
Ask what the quoted visit includes, whether VAT and travel are included, what record you receive, and how additional work will be approved. Confirm experience with your exact system. Do not assume brand authorisation, qualifications, warranty protection or response time unless the appointed business confirms it in writing.
Prepare useful information
Write down the make and full model number from the rating plate, the exact controller message, which functions still work, and when the problem began. Note whether it follows a power cut, a settings change, very cold weather or recent work elsewhere in the heating system. If the fault is intermittent, a short video or photograph taken from a safe position may help. Keep the outdoor and indoor equipment accessible, but do not remove covers.
For a routine service, gather the installation handover and previous reports. For a repair, describe the active symptom when booking so the correct amount of diagnostic time can be allowed. Ask the operator to explain findings and seek approval before fitting chargeable parts.
