Rattling, grinding, screeching or loud humming during operation. This page covers how we diagnose and repair it on heat pumps in Meyersdal Crest.

This fault is normally treated as scheduled work because the plant remains usable, but the fault will get more expensive the longer it is left.

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. Gauteng municipal water is moderately hard, so scale on elements and heat exchangers is the single most common cause of falling performance.
