What to know about heat pump repairs in Urmston
A heat pump that is serviced and set up properly keeps running efficiently for many years. Many heat pump faults trace back to settings, low pressure or a worn part rather than the heat pump itself, and those can usually be put right.
Heat pump owners in Urmston can arrange a fault-finding visit at a rate agreed before an engineer attends. We repair heat pumps in Urmston whoever installed them, including older monobloc and split systems.
When a heat pump shows an error, loses pressure or stops heating, an engineer diagnoses the cause and explains the repair and its cost before fixing it.
- Heat pumps showing an error code or fault light
- Systems losing pressure or needing frequent topping up
- Heat pumps installed by another company that need a second opinion
What's included
- A clear explanation of the fault and a price for the repair before work goes ahead
- Supply and fitting of replacement parts
- Fault-finding visit at a rate agreed before attending
- System refill, venting and recommissioning after the repair
- Reading of error history and operating data
Repairs in Urmston that need a part ordered are explained and priced before the engineer leaves.

Replacing oil or LPG heating qualifies for £9,000 for installations from 21 July 2026 to 31 March 2027, and air-to-air systems for £2,500. The MCS-certified installer named in your quote applies for the grant and deducts it from the price.

Heat pump repairs in Urmston: questions
Can you work on a heat pump in Urmston that someone else installed?
Yes. We arrange servicing and repairs for most air source heat pumps in Urmston, whoever fitted them. Tell us the make and model when you get in touch.
Do you also cover Stretford?
Yes. We arrange heat pump servicing and repairs in Stretford, which is about 2 miles east of Urmston, and across Greater Manchester.
How much does a visit cost in Urmston?
The rate for a service or fault-finding visit is agreed before anyone attends. Any repair is priced in writing before parts are ordered, so you decide before work goes ahead.
Do refrigerant repairs need a specialist?
Yes. Any work on a heat pump's refrigerant circuit, such as tracing a leak, replacing a component or re-gassing, must by law be done by an F-gas certified engineer where the refrigerant is fluorinated, such as R32; units using R290 (propane) need an engineer trained in flammable refrigerants. On split systems the refrigerant runs through pipes inside your home, so leaks there are more likely than on sealed monobloc units.
Is ice on my heat pump a fault?
Some frost on the outdoor unit in cold, damp weather is normal, and the unit clears it with regular defrost cycles, often releasing a little vapour. It becomes a fault when thick ice builds up and does not clear, or when ice blocks the fan. That can point to poor airflow, a failed sensor, drainage problems or low refrigerant, and needs checking.
