Heat Pump Regassing in Roodepoort West
Heat Pump Regassing in Roodepoort West covers leak detection first, then correct-charge regassing by weight. Workshops and light industrial units with small boiler and hot water plant.
A heat pump is a sealed system: if it is short of gas, there is a leak. Simply topping up sends the same refrigerant back into the atmosphere within months and masks the fault. We pressure-test, trace the leak, repair it, evacuate to vacuum and then charge by weight to the manufacturer's plate data.
The installed base here is industrial, so most plant is three phase, duty-cycled hard and tied into process or steam distribution. Compact plant repaired with off-the-shelf parts where possible.
West Rand visits carry a fuller van stock because parts runs back to Johannesburg cost time. Gauteng municipal water is moderately hard, so scale on elements and heat exchangers is the single most common cause of falling performance. Recovery rate and storage volume have to be considered together; adding heating capacity to undersized storage rarely fixes a peak-hour shortfall.
