No single repair to price for this code
291 doesn't point at one failed component, so we don't attach a price module — forcing a repair mapping here would be dishonest. If the code keeps returning, the underlying symptom (not the code) is what gets priced: browse the heat pump repair costs for the problem you're actually seeing.
Codes are universal — your location changes the repair price, never the code's meaning. See the methodology for the exact localization formula and sources.
