The unit trips on low pressure, typically in cold weather or early morning. This page covers how we diagnose and repair it on heat pumps in Noordwyk 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.
Noordwyk Ext is an extension of Midrand with a mix of original and renovated housing, so geyser positions, pressure control and pipework standards vary stand to stand. Gauteng municipal water is moderately hard, so scale on elements and heat exchangers is the single most common cause of falling performance.
