To get the best from your air source heat pump, regular servicing is essential. These systems are an excellent solution for low-carbon heating, but without maintenance, efficiency and reliability can start to decline. That’s where Prestige Services can help.
We provide professional heat pump servicing in Fairford and surrounding areas, helping homeowners protect their investment.

Air source heat pumps provide heating and hot water all year round, so regular upkeep is vital. Over time, general wear and tear can impact performance. Routine servicing ensures your system stays safe, efficient, and reliable.
A clean and properly serviced heat pump uses less energy to produce heat. Keeping your system well-maintained helps reduce electricity use and lowers your monthly energy bills, especially during Fairford’s colder months.
Servicing protects your heat pump from unnecessary wear. Keeping components in good working order helps prevent early breakdowns and extends the working life of your investment.
Routine maintenance allows early detection of faults or worn parts. This reduces the risk of system failures, giving you peace of mind when you need heating most.
Most warranties require annual servicing as a condition of cover. Our services provide the necessary paperwork to keep your warranty valid and protect your investment.
We test every key function of your heat pump to make sure it’s providing reliable heating and hot water throughout every season, helping to keep your home comfortable.
A well-serviced system consumes less electricity, reducing your home’s carbon output. Maintaining your heat pump helps you keep your heating system eco-friendly and efficient.
Heat pumps are reliable, but like any system, they can occasionally develop faults. Here are some of the most common issues we see in Fairford properties:
Refrigerant is vital for heat transfer. Small leaks can develop over time, often going unnoticed until there's a drop in heating performance or efficiency.
The fan motor, control board, or compressor may experience electrical issues, which can cause system malfunctions or pose potential safety risks if left unchecked.
Filters can become blocked by dust and other particles, reducing airflow and efficiency. This is especially common in systems that haven’t been serviced regularly.
If a sensor stops working, the system may misread temperatures or pressures, causing improper cycling or performance issues.
During colder spells, the heat exchanger can freeze over, which may halt the entire system until it’s cleared and reset.
Our heat pump maintenance visits are thorough and tailored to ensure your system continues working at its best. Each service includes:
We check for signs of damage, corrosion, and any leaks affecting performance.
Removing dust and blockages ensures smooth airflow and more efficient operation.
We clean the fan blades and heat exchanger to prevent efficiency loss or obstruction.
We make sure the system pressure and refrigerant levels meet the correct specifications.
All controls are checked to make sure they’re accurate, responsive, and correctly set.
The unit is run to measure output, temperature delivery, and operating noise levels.
You receive a full report with our findings, any recommendations, and servicing confirmation.
We recommend annual servicing for most domestic heat pump systems. This keeps your unit efficient and within warranty terms. If your system is used heavily, or in a larger household or commercial property, servicing every 6 months may be beneficial.
If you’re unsure when your heat pump was last serviced, especially if you’ve just moved to a new property in Fairford, it’s a good idea to book an initial inspection.
Even if your air source heat pump appears to be functioning, there may be hidden issues affecting its efficiency and performance. Paying attention to the following signs can help prevent small problems from turning into costly repairs. If you notice any of the following, it’s time to book a service:
Any new or unusual sounds — such as rattling, buzzing, grinding, or banging — may indicate loose components, worn bearings, or airflow obstructions. Heat pumps are usually quiet, so a sudden increase in noise is often a clear sign that something isn’t right and should be professionally checked.
If it’s taking noticeably longer for your home to warm up or your hot water to reach the desired temperature, it could be due to dirty filters, blocked airflow, refrigerant issues, or a failing sensor. Servicing can restore proper functionality and ensure you're not overpaying for underperformance.
A sudden or unexplained increase in your energy usage may mean your heat pump is working harder than necessary to deliver the same level of comfort. Reduced efficiency caused by a lack of maintenance can quickly drive up running costs — an annual service helps keep bills in check.
Some frost is normal, especially in colder weather, but if you’re seeing thick or persistent ice forming on the outdoor unit, it could suggest a malfunctioning defrost cycle, restricted airflow, or drainage issues. If left untreated, this can cause long-term damage to your system.
If some rooms are too cold while others are too warm — or if your heat pump seems unable to maintain a steady temperature — the issue may lie with thermostats, sensors, or the distribution of airflow. A thorough service will identify and correct any imbalances affecting comfort.
