Heat Pump Leaking Water in Randpark Ext
Water pooling under or around the unit, sometimes continuously. This page covers how we diagnose and repair it on heat pumps in Randpark Ext.
This fault is normally treated as priority work because the plant is still running but is damaging itself or wasting energy while it does.
Randpark Ext is an extension of Randburg with a mix of original and renovated housing, so geyser positions, pressure control and pipework standards vary stand to stand. Sites with long, poorly insulated pipework lose more heat in distribution than most owners expect, which reads as a capacity problem at the outlet.

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.
