Heat Pump Making Noise in Rivonia Ext
Rattling, grinding, screeching or loud humming during operation. This page covers how we diagnose and repair it on heat pumps in Rivonia Ext.
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.
Rivonia Ext is an extension of Sandton 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.
