Air source heat pumps are becoming one of the most popular heating solutions across the UK — especially in Cheshire. But with this rise in demand, we at Omnia Plumbing & Heating have also seen a sharp increase in calls for:
- Air source heat pump servicing
- Heat pump repairs
- Emergency breakdown callouts
- Fixing systems worked on by unqualified engineers
If you’re based in Sandbach or the surrounding Cheshire area, regular servicing and expert support are essential to keep your heat pump running efficiently all year round.
Increase in Heat Pump Breakdowns Across Cheshire
Over the past year, we’ve noticed a growing number of homeowners contacting us due to heat pump issues — often after another contractor has carried out incorrect or incomplete work.
Many breakdowns we attend are caused by:
⚠ Poor servicing
⚠ Incorrect system setup
⚠ Lack of heat pump-specific training
⚠ Faulty parts being fitted
⚠ Misdiagnosed faults
Heat pumps are highly efficient systems, but they require specialist knowledge — they are not the same as traditional boilers.
Why Air Source Heat Pump Servicing is So Important
Annual servicing helps prevent costly breakdowns and ensures your system stays efficient.
A professional air source heat pump service can:
✅ Improve performance and energy efficiency
✅ Reduce electricity bills
✅ Prevent unexpected faults in winter
✅ Extend the life of the unit
✅ Keep manufacturer warranties valid
✅ Ensure safe operation
If your heat pump hasn’t been serviced recently, now is the time to book in — especially before colder weather hits.
The Risks of Using Untrained Heat Pump Engineers
Unfortunately, not every plumbing or heating engineer is properly trained to work on air source heat pumps.
We’ve had many callouts in Sandbach, Crewe, Middlewich and across Cheshire where customers have experienced problems after an unqualified person has:
- Changed settings incorrectly
- Installed wrong replacement parts
- Failed to check refrigerant pressures
- Left the system running inefficiently
- Charged for work that didn’t solve the issue
Choosing a trained specialist can save you time, money, and stress.
