Heat Pump Icing Up in Mondeor Ridge
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 Mondeor Ridge.
This fault is normally treated as priority work because the plant is still running but is damaging itself or wasting energy while it does.
Mondeor Ridge sits within the Alberton belt, with larger stands, long hot water runs and frequent pool heating. Static pressure and dead-leg length are checked as part of any hot water complaint here. Gauteng municipal water is moderately hard, so scale on elements and heat exchangers is the single most common cause of falling performance.
