Keep your air source heat pump running smoothly with help from Prestige Services in Wantage. These systems are known for their energy efficiency and low environmental impact, but they still require routine servicing to stay in top condition.
We provide comprehensive maintenance services for heat pumps of all ages — whether newly installed or already well-used. Regular servicing helps maintain performance, reduce energy usage, and keep your manufacturer’s warranty valid. As a well-established, independent local company, we’re proud to offer dependable support to households in Wantage and nearby villages.
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 Wantage 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.
Even the most well-maintained heat pumps can experience faults. Below are several problems we regularly encounter in Wantage:
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 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.
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 Wantage 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.
