Heating your home with an air source heat pump is a great choice for both comfort and sustainability — but to keep it working efficiently, regular servicing is key. At Prestige Services, we’re proud to offer expert maintenance for heat pump systems throughout Faringdon and nearby villages.
No matter the age of your system, our experienced team can help you maintain energy efficiency and prevent unexpected issues. We’re a local business with a strong reputation for reliable service, and we’re here to make sure your heat pump continues to perform, year after year.
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 Faringdon’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.
Even the most well-maintained heat pumps can experience faults. Below are several problems we regularly encounter in Faringdon:
Refrigerant is essential for heat transfer within the system. A slow leak may go unnoticed until there’s a significant drop in performance. It’s a frequent cause of inefficiency in local properties.
Problems with internal wiring, fans, or control systems can disrupt the heat pump’s function or create potential safety concerns. Early intervention is key to avoiding system damage.
Air filters blocked with particles and dust impede airflow. This is a common maintenance issue that can reduce efficiency if not addressed regularly.
Faulty sensors can send incorrect readings, causing the system to react inappropriately or cycle incorrectly.
Cold weather can lead to frost or ice buildup on the outdoor unit, which can shut down operation until resolved.
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.
Most homes will benefit from an annual heat pump service, which helps maintain energy savings and keeps your heating system within warranty conditions. This routine care keeps performance high and unexpected breakdowns at bay.
If you live in a busy household, or your system runs for longer periods throughout the year, it may be wise to arrange a service every six months to keep everything in peak condition.
If you’ve recently purchased a home in Faringdon and aren’t sure when your system was last serviced, we recommend scheduling a detailed initial inspection for peace of mind.
Your system may still be running — but if you notice any of these symptoms, it’s time to give us a call:
Any unusual noises, like whirring, humming, or knocking, could indicate wear and should be checked before parts fail.
If your heating or hot water is taking longer than normal, your system might be losing efficiency due to dust, ageing parts or reduced airflow.
Even slight increases in electricity usage could signal a drop in performance or the need for internal cleaning or recalibration.
Frequent or excessive frost on the unit may be a warning sign of poor defrost control or external blockages.
If temperatures vary between rooms or never quite reach set levels, your system may need adjustment or a filter clean.

Prestige Services – Faringdon’s Local Heat Pump Specialists
Skilled. Reliable. Independent. Working hard to keep your system running smoothly.
Most air source heat pump services take between 45 minutes and 1 hour, depending on the make and model of your system. If it’s your first service, or if the system hasn’t been maintained regularly, we may need a little longer to carry out deeper cleaning or minor adjustments. We always take the time needed to ensure everything is done thoroughly and properly, and we’ll let you know in advance if we expect any delays.
Not at all. Heat pump servicing is generally quick, quiet, and non-intrusive. We simply ask for clear access to both the indoor unit (usually near the cylinder) and the outdoor unit (often mounted outside the property). Most of the work involves checks, cleaning, and adjustments. We don’t need to shut off water or electricity for long periods, and we always leave the area clean, tidy, and exactly as we found it.
We service all major air source heat pump brands, including Mitsubishi Ecodan, Samsung, NIBE, Vaillant, Daikin, Grant, and more. Our engineers are fully trained and experienced with both domestic and light commercial systems, so whether your heat pump was recently installed or has been running for several years, we have the expertise to maintain it properly. We also keep up to date with manufacturer guidelines to ensure our servicing meets all warranty requirements.
Yes, absolutely. Even if your heat pump appears to be working normally, it’s important to have it serviced annually. Like a car or boiler, a heat pump can develop hidden issues — such as blocked filters, low refrigerant, or sensor faults — that may not be obvious until they cause a breakdown. Regular servicing helps identify these issues early, maintains energy efficiency, and keeps your system performing reliably throughout the year. It also ensures you stay compliant with your manufacturer’s warranty.
Yes, we offer servicing reminders and maintenance plans to make sure you never miss an annual service. When you book your first service, we can arrange to send you a yearly reminder or discuss a regular maintenance schedule. This is particularly useful if you manage multiple properties or simply want the peace of mind that your heat pump will be looked after without having to remember dates each year.
