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 Lechlade 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.
Your heat pump works quietly in the background, keeping your home warm and your water hot. But over time, small issues can build up and reduce its performance. Regular servicing helps prevent problems and keeps your system working efficiently.
Dirt, dust and wear can reduce how efficiently your heat pump runs. Servicing keeps things clean and in working order — saving you money on electricity and improving heating output.
Looking after your heat pump helps it last longer. Routine maintenance reduces wear on internal parts and helps you avoid early replacement costs.
Regular checks allow us to catch and correct small problems before they lead to more serious damage or a system failure — especially important in winter months.
Most heat pump warranties require a yearly service to remain valid. We’ll provide full documentation as proof your system is being professionally maintained.
We check everything — from controls to airflow — to ensure your system delivers consistent warmth and hot water, no matter the weather in Lechlade.
An efficient heat pump uses less energy. Servicing helps your system stay eco-friendly and ensures you get the maximum environmental benefit from your investment.
Even the most well-maintained heat pumps can experience faults. Below are several problems we regularly encounter in Lechlade:
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.
Each service visit is carefully planned to keep your system running smoothly and efficiently. Our comprehensive checks include:
A full check of the internal and external units for signs of leaks, wear or physical damage.
Helps maintain healthy airflow and ensures the system isn’t working harder than it needs to.
We remove dirt and debris from the outdoor unit to prevent reduced output or ice formation.
Ensures your heat pump is operating within correct specifications.
We verify that controls are working as expected and that temperature settings are accurate.
We run the system to check its heating ability, efficiency, and noise levels.
You'll receive a written report with our findings, any work completed, and any maintenance suggestions.
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 Lechlade, 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.
