Your air source heat pump works hard to provide comfortable, cost-effective heating — but to keep it performing well, it needs regular servicing. At Prestige Services, we offer trusted heat pump maintenance throughout Malmesbury, ensuring your system stays efficient and reliable.
Whether you’ve had your unit installed recently or it’s been running for several winters, a routine service helps prevent faults, lowers running costs, and keeps warranties intact. We’re proud to be a local, independent business serving our Malmesbury community with expert knowledge and dependable support.
Heat pumps work throughout the year to provide both heating and hot water. Over time, components can become less efficient or begin to wear, which can affect performance. Regular maintenance is essential to keeping your system running safely, reliably, and cost-effectively. Here’s why servicing your air source heat pump is so important:
Routine servicing keeps your heat pump operating at peak performance. A clean, well-maintained system uses less electricity to produce the same amount of heat, helping to reduce your energy bills, particularly during colder Malmesbury winters.
Just like a car, a heat pump lasts longer when it’s properly maintained. Regular servicing helps reduce unnecessary strain on components, preventing wear and avoiding early replacement costs.
Servicing allows us to identify and fix minor issues before they develop into major problems. This can prevent breakdowns, emergency call-outs, and the inconvenience of losing heating or hot water when you need it most.
Many heat pump manufacturers require proof of annual servicing to maintain the validity of their warranties. Our servicing includes the necessary documentation to ensure you stay compliant.
We check every part of the system, from controls to airflow, to make sure it’s delivering consistent, reliable heating and hot water, so you can stay comfortable all year round.
A well-maintained heat pump uses less electricity and runs more efficiently, which reduces your home’s carbon footprint. Regular servicing ensures your system continues to deliver low-carbon heating in line with environmental targets.
Heat pumps are reliable, but like any system, they can occasionally develop faults. Here are some of the most common issues we see in Malmesbury properties:
Refrigerant is the key fluid responsible for transferring heat through your heat pump. Over time, small leaks may develop in systems across Malmesbury, leading to a noticeable drop in efficiency.
The compressor, fan, or control board can suffer electrical issues, affecting how the system operates, or potentially creating safety concerns.
Filters clogged with dust and debris restrict airflow, reducing performance. This is a frequent issue in both residential and commercial heat pump systems around Malmesbury.
Sensors are crucial for monitoring temperature, pressure, and other factors. When one fails, the heat pump may respond incorrectly, an issue that’s not uncommon in Malmesbury installations
During colder periods in Malmesbury, the heat exchanger can freeze, causing the heat pump to stop working altogether.
Our comprehensive heat pump servicing covers every essential component to ensure your system operates efficiently and safely. Each service includes:
Inspection of the indoor and outdoor units for damage, corrosion, or leaks.
Ensures clean airflow and prevents dust build-up from affecting performance.
The outdoor fan and heat exchanger coils are cleaned and checked for obstructions.
Ensures refrigerant levels and pressure are within recommended ranges.
We check that your controls are responsive and temperatures are accurate.
We run the system through a full cycle to test heating output, efficiency, and noise levels.
A written summary of our checks, including any recommendations or adjustments made.
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 Malmesbury 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.
