Heat Pump Repairs in Johannesburg & Gauteng

Fault-finding and repair of air-source hot water and pool heat pumps.

Heat pump repairs cover the refrigeration circuit, the electrical control side and the water side of the unit. Most call-outs we attend start as 'no hot water', but the underlying fault is usually a failed capacitor, a blocked evaporator, a defrost sensor out of tolerance, or a slow refrigerant loss that only shows up under load.
