Seasonal Air Source Heat Pump
Maintenance Tips

Autumn / Winter
Check that your heat pump’s defrost cycle is working properly and remove any ice build-up on the outdoor unit. Consider adding weather protection such as covers or wind baffles to shield the system from frost and debris.
Spring / Summer
Switch your system to cooling mode and make sure it’s operating smoothly. Take the time to clean the coils and filters to maintain good airflow and efficiency throughout the warmer months.
Storm Readiness
Before heavy winds or storms, make sure your outdoor unit is secure and all mounting bolts are tight. Clear the surrounding area of loose items that could blow into the unit and cause damage.
Signs Your Heat Pump Needs Attention
- Sudden Rise in Energy Bills
If your energy bills increase unexpectedly, it could indicate your heat pump is working harder than it should due to a hidden fault. - Poor Heating / Cooling Output
When rooms are not reaching the desired temperature, it’s often a sign that your system isn’t operating efficiently. - Strange Noises or Smells
Unusual sounds or odors coming from your heat pump may signal mechanical issues or electrical problems that need checking. - Ice Build-Up or Frequent Defrosting
Excessive ice on the outdoor unit or constant defrost cycles can indicate a malfunction or blocked airflow. - Leaks Around the Unit
Water or refrigerant leaks around your heat pump are a warning that components may be failing and require immediate attention.

Air Source Heat Pump Maintenance FAQs
Air source heat pump maintenance should ideally be carried out once a year. Annual servicing ensures your system runs efficiently, reduces the risk of breakdowns, and helps maintain your warranty. Regular maintenance also allows any small issues to be caught early before they turn into costly repairs.
While basic cleaning tasks like keeping the outdoor unit clear of debris can be done by homeowners, professional air source heat pump maintenance is recommended. Trained engineers have the expertise to check refrigerant levels, inspect electrical components, and ensure the system is operating safely and efficiently. Attempting full servicing yourself could lead to damage or void your warranty.
The cost of air source heat pump maintenance can vary depending on the provider and system size, but most annual services range from £100–£250. Consider it an investment in efficiency, reliability, and long-term savings—well-maintained heat pumps use less energy and often last longer, making the cost worthwhile.
Yes, most manufacturers require annual air source heat pump maintenance by a qualified engineer to keep warranties valid. Skipping professional servicing could invalidate your warranty, leaving you responsible for any future repairs or replacements.
A typical air source heat pump maintenance visit usually takes 1–2 hours. During this time, the engineer will:
Inspect and clean the outdoor and indoor units
Check refrigerant levels and pressures
Examine electrical components for safety and wear
Test the system for efficiency and correct operation
Identify any minor issues before they become major problems
Following this checklist ensures your heat pump runs safely, efficiently, and reliably throughout the year.
