Heat Pump Icing Up in Rosslyn
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 Rosslyn.
This fault is normally treated as priority work because the plant is still running but is damaging itself or wasting energy while it does.
Automotive manufacturing belt with steam, process hot water and industrial boiler plant. Sites with long, poorly insulated pipework lose more heat in distribution than most owners expect, which reads as a capacity problem at the outlet.
