What to know about heat pump servicing 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.
Landlords in Urmston can arrange servicing for several properties, with a dated record for each. If a heat pump in Urmston has not been serviced for a while, the first visit includes a full check of settings and pressures.
An annual service keeps a heat pump running efficiently, catches small faults early and is often a condition of the manufacturer's warranty.
- Heat pumps installed by another company that need a new servicing arrangement
- Landlords who need dated service records for each property
- Systems where the manufacturer's warranty requires annual servicing

Heat pump servicing 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 I need to do anything between services?
A little. Keep the area around the outdoor unit clear of leaves, snow, plants and stored items so air flows freely. Check the system pressure gauge occasionally if you have one, and note any error codes. Avoid covering the unit or building an enclosure around it without advice, as this can reduce performance.
Is servicing needed to keep my warranty valid?
Often, yes. Many manufacturer warranties require an annual service with a dated record, and some extended warranties require an approved installer. Manufacturer warranties pass to you, and the length depends on the make and model. Check your warranty documents, and keep every service record safe with your MCS certificate and handover pack.
