Residents and businesses in the forward-looking Wiltshire town of Swindon are increasingly swopping their traditional gas or oil boilers for air source heat pumps (ASHPs), or using this new technology to supplement their traditional heating and hot water supply. Many new build homes and commercial premises in Swindon are having ASHPs fitted as standard. The aim is to reduce energy bills while utilising a greener heating alternative.
For decades Prestige Heating & Electrical has looked after boilers and heating systems for clients across all the Swindon postcode areas, from the Old Town in SN1 to the northern suburbs of SN2 and all the town’s other suburbs like Stratton St Margaret and South Marston. Now we have a team of trained specialists you can depend on to service and repair air source heat pumps in Swindon.
Air Source Heat pumps need to be serviced at least once a year in Swindon to continue to perform with optimal efficiency. Without an annual check they could start costing more to run, and/or end up putting out less heat. An annual heat pump service in Swindon will also ensure the longevity of your heat pump and guard against potentially costly and inconvenient breakdowns of your heat pump and heating system.
Air source heat pumps provide both heat and hot water across every season. To get the best from your system, regular professional maintenance is a must. Here’s why Swindon homeowners trust our servicing:
Servicing ensures your heat pump operates as intended, using less energy to heat your home — helping you stay warm while saving money.
Well-maintained systems last longer. Preventative maintenance reduces wear on parts, supporting long-term, cost-effective performance.
By catching small faults early, you reduce the risk of full system breakdowns and avoid the need for emergency repairs.
Many manufacturers require an annual service. Our visits meet those standards and include all necessary documentation.
Our checks guarantee stable operation, so your system delivers steady warmth and hot water throughout the year.
A clean, tuned heat pump is more efficient, using less electricity — reducing both your costs and environmental impact.
Heat pump systems are generally dependable, but like any heating solution, they can occasionally develop issues. These are some of the problems we regularly fix for homeowners across Swindon:
The refrigerant in your heat pump is vital for heating. Small leaks often result in less heat being produced and a noticeable drop in overall system efficiency.
Issues with components like the compressor or fan motor can lead to power interruptions, strange noises, or system shutdowns.
When filters get clogged with dust, they reduce airflow and performance. This is one of the most frequent problems we see in both residential and commercial properties.
Malfunctioning sensors can send incorrect readings, which may cause the system to overheat or fail to start.
Cold weather can cause outdoor coils to freeze, especially if defrost cycles fail.
Our comprehensive heat pump servicing covers every essential component to ensure your system operates efficiently and safely. Each service includes:
Inspecting for leaks, corrosion, and external damage to components.
Filters are cleaned or swapped to maintain airflow and efficiency.
Cleaning fan blades and coil surfaces to boost system performance.
Ensuring correct operating levels for optimal energy use.
Confirming functionality, settings, and accuracy of temperature control.
Verifying performance through a complete heating cycle test.
Full documentation outlining what was checked, cleaned, or adjusted.
For most homes, an annual service is recommended to keep your air source heat pump running efficiently and within the terms of its warranty. A yearly check helps maintain performance and reduce the risk of unexpected faults.
If your system is used heavily — such as in a larger household, or if it supplies both heating and constant hot water — you might benefit from servicing every six months. This can help catch wear and tear earlier and extend the life of the system.
If you’ve recently moved into a property in Swindon and don’t know the service history, we recommend booking a professional inspection to assess the system and bring it up to standard if needed.
Even if your heat pump seems to be running, these issues could indicate underlying problems:
Banging, buzzing, or rattling from the unit may signal loose components, worn bearings, or airflow obstructions that need attention.
If your system takes longer than usual to reach the desired temperature, it could be due to restricted airflow, low refrigerant, or dirty filters.
A rise in electricity usage without a change in routine often means your heat pump is working harder than it should, reducing efficiency.
Regular freezing on the outdoor unit may suggest poor airflow, blocked drains, or faulty defrost settings — all of which can be resolved during a service.
Rooms that feel too cold or fluctuate throughout the day could mean your system is struggling to regulate temperature properly.
