Kwikot Heat Pump Regassing in Illovo Ext

Kwikot heat pump regassing in Illovo Ext. Locally manufactured; parts are widely available which keeps repairs economical.

Kwikot equipment we work on includes geysers, heat pumps and storage cylinders. Commonly replaced parts on this brand are elements, thermostats, valves, anodes, and we keep or source these against the unit's model and serial plate rather than by guesswork.

A heat pump is a sealed system: if it is short of gas, there is a leak. Simply topping up sends the same refrigerant back into the atmosphere within months and masks the fault. We pressure-test, trace the leak, repair it, evacuate to vacuum and then charge by weight to the manufacturer's plate data.

Illovo Ext is an extension of Sandton with a mix of original and renovated housing, so geyser positions, pressure control and pipework standards vary stand to stand. Attendance in Illovo Ext is grouped with other Sandton call-outs, which usually means a same-day or next-morning slot. Gauteng municipal water is moderately hard, so scale on elements and heat exchangers is the single most common cause of falling performance.
