Heat Pump Icing Up in Meyersdal Crest
Ice forms on the evaporator coil and does not clear between cycles. This page covers how we diagnose and repair it on heat pumps in Meyersdal Crest.
This fault is normally treated as priority work because the plant is still running but is damaging itself or wasting energy while it does.
Meyersdal Crest is a high-value residential pocket of Alberton, typically with multiple geysers or a heat pump on buffer storage, and in many cases pool or underfloor heating on the same plantroom. Sites with long, poorly insulated pipework lose more heat in distribution than most owners expect, which reads as a capacity problem at the outlet.

Observe a full defrost cycle; Check defrost sensor resistance; Airflow and coil condition inspection; Charge verification. The readings are recorded so the repair decision is based on data.
Can I keep using the system in the meantime?
Usually yes, for a short period, but efficiency and component life are both being lost while the fault persists.
