What does air source heat pump maintenance involve?

A typical maintenance visit may include:

Checking the overall condition and operation of the heat pump

Inspecting the outdoor unit and making sure airflow is clear and unrestricted

Cleaning or checking filters, coils and other key components where required

Checking system pressure and flow rates

Inspecting pipework, connections and insulation

Checking controls, thermostats and heating settings

Testing the system to make sure it is heating correctly and efficiently

Checking for any unusual noises, leaks or signs of wear

Checking glycol levels and concentration, where applicable, and topping up or replacing if required

Reviewing the system for any early signs of faults or potential problems

Why is annual maintenance important?

Having your air source heat pump serviced regularly can help maintain efficiency, reduce the chance of unexpected breakdowns and identify smaller issues before they become more costly repairs.

It can also help protect the long term performance of your system and ensure it continues to provide reliable heating and hot water for your home.

Elgar Heating and Plumbing replaced my old gas boiler a little while ago and, having used it over the winter, have to say that it is fantastic. Elgar P&H recommended a system which would meet the needs of the property yet offer improved efficiency and a warmer home and it does all of that. The installation is superbly neat and tidy and their engineers did a great job minimising mess and clearing up once the work was complete. A helpful and friendly service too. I'm a very happy customer and highly recommend them.

Eddie and his team made an absolutely superb job of our bathroom renovation. A previous plumber had let us down and we really needed it done during a half term break. Eddie was super efficient and made this happen within a very short amount of time, which we really appreciated. All of the work was carried out to a high standard and Eddie kept us updated throughout. Any queries we had during the process were answered promptly and professionally. As you can see from the before and after pictures the team updated our very dated bathroom to a much more modern one! Thanks so much to everyone who completed this renovation within the time frame. Best wishes Heather & Mark 😊😊

We underwent a full bathroom renovation in late 2025 with Elgar Heating & Plumbing. The project was managed by Eddie throughout who was approachable and easy to contact, giving regular updates on timescales and next steps etc. All tradesmen were polite and friendly. When any issues arose, which were few, they were dealt with professionally and promptly. We are thrilled with our bathroom and would have Eddie & his team back for work in the future. Photos of during & the result.

Eddie and the team installed a new shower and flooring into our bathroom. All the guys were friendly and helpful. The work was completed in the estimated time and we are happy with our new bathroom. Special mention to say that we were impressed and we valued Eddie's responsive communication and helpful/can-do attitude. He ensured we were satisfied with the finished job! Thank you.

I needed urgent assistance for a boiler issue and Elgar Services responded quickly and reassuringly. They were realistic about timescales, giving me the opportunity to look elsewhere, but I decided to book the appointment. I was glad I did. Eddie arrived early, diagnosed the problem quickly and helped me with what needed to be done with Worcester Bosch.
Professional, friendly and reassuring. Respectful of property and I would recommend for boiler work.

Really positive experience from Eddie and Elgar Services converting our heating system and installing a new hot water cylinder. At the quoting stage Eddie suggested an alternative to what we’d asked him for that would get the outcome we wanted more cheaply - despite that being lower value work for him. Super honest and not something I think you can rely on from other trades. Great communication from Debbie prior to the work starting, then solid work on the day from Eddie and Rob. Rob’s pipework in our airing cupboard was super neat, clear pride taken in the work, right down to the lagging. Would recommend Eddie in a heartbeat; friendly, reliable and trustworthy.

Elgar Plumbing & Heating had previously undertaken some other work around our house, so we knew we were going to be in safe, competent hands. From the very first discussions about converting the bathroom into a wet room, Eddie was attentive and understanding of the requirements, and on hand with practical suggestions, which could only come from his extensive experience in the industry. The entire team at Elgar Plumbing & Heating along with the sub contractors that came in to assist were punctual, polite, respectful and all a credit to their respective trades. Every question and query was acknowledged and answered very quickly. I have no hesitation in recommending Eddie and the team at Elgar to anyone in need of a plumber
