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 Shrivenham and surrounding areas, helping homeowners protect their investment. Whether your system is newly installed or a few years old, our service ensures smooth operation, energy savings, and continued warranty support. As a local and independent provider, you can count on us for high-quality work and honest advice.
Air source heat pumps provide both heat and hot water across every season. To get the best from your system, regular professional maintenance is a must. Here’s why Shrivenham homeowners trust our servicing:
Servicing ensures your heat pump operates as intended, using less energy to heat your home — helping you stay warm while saving money.
Well-maintained systems last longer. Preventative maintenance reduces wear on parts, supporting long-term, cost-effective performance.
By catching small faults early, you reduce the risk of full system breakdowns and avoid the need for emergency repairs.
Many manufacturers require an annual service. Our visits meet those standards and include all necessary documentation.
Our checks guarantee stable operation, so your system delivers steady warmth and hot water throughout the year.
A clean, tuned heat pump is more efficient, using less electricity — reducing both your costs and environmental impact.
Heat pumps are reliable, but like any system, they can occasionally develop faults. Here are some of the most common issues we see in Shrivenham properties:
Refrigerant is the key fluid responsible for transferring heat through your heat pump. Over time, small leaks may develop in systems across Shrivenham, 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 Shrivenham.
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 Shrivenham installations.
During colder periods in Shrivenham, 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:
Inspecting for leaks, corrosion, and external damage to components.
Filters are cleaned or swapped to maintain airflow and efficiency.
Cleaning fan blades and coil surfaces to boost system performance.
Ensuring correct operating levels for optimal energy use.
Confirming functionality, settings, and accuracy of temperature control.
Verifying performance through a complete heating cycle test.
Full documentation outlining what was checked, cleaned, or adjusted.
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 Shrivenham 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.
