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 Purton, 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 Purton 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 Purton 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 Purton 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 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.
To keep your air source heat pump working properly, we recommend servicing it once a year. This helps to maintain energy efficiency, ensure reliable heating, and meet most manufacturers’ warranty conditions.
If your home has a high heating demand — for example, in larger properties or multi-generational households — then servicing every six months can provide added peace of mind and better long-term system performance.
If you’re not sure when the last service took place (particularly if you’ve recently moved to a new property in Purton), it’s worth booking an initial assessment to make sure everything is working safely and efficiently.
It’s not always obvious when a heat pump needs attention, but these symptoms could indicate it’s time for servicing:
Noises like clicking, buzzing, or humming could point to mechanical issues, loose parts or motor faults inside the unit.
Delays in warming up your rooms or water may suggest something is interfering with the heat exchange process or internal controls.
If your bills have suddenly increased, your heat pump may be consuming more power due to poor efficiency or strain on components.
Icy build-up that doesn’t melt properly may indicate a problem with the unit’s defrost cycle or airflow blockage.
If certain rooms are colder than others or your thermostat seems unreliable, there may be an issue with sensors or internal airflow distribution.
