How Does a Heat Pump Work?
A heat pump is a device that absorbs heat from the chilly outside air and transports it inside our home. To achieve that goal, an internal compressor utilises power to raise the temperature of the heat taken from the outside air. The heat pump may also offer cooling by transporting heated interior air to the exterior.
When Should I Replace my Heat Pump?
With regular maintenance, your heating unit should provide exceptional efficiency and long-term performance. However, even an old heating system will have issues. These pipes may leak, causing excess moisture and sagging airflow.
If your energy use has skyrocketed in recent days, you may require a new heating system. Our staff can assess the unit's performance and determine whether it requires replacement or repair.

How Much Does it Cost to Fix a Heat Pump Leaking Water Christchurch?
Heat pumps have an average repair price range of around $90-$610. When a pump leaks, it is normal for there to be difficulties with the evaporator coils freezing over. The majority of the time, low refrigerating temperatures are to blame for frozen evaporator coils.
Why is my Heat Pump Dripping Water Christchurch?
Usually, the air is sucked into a condensate drain system by a heating pump once it has been gathered. Dirt, algae, and mud particles might accumulate over time and eventually clog the drains. In the event that your heat pump develops a water leak, the heat will begin to escape into other areas.
It is essential to be proactive once noticing a leak, as if it is left untreated, it will have dire consequences for your heat pump's life cycle. Anyone with a clogged condensate drain Christchurch-wide can rely on us to fix the problem for you.
Can a Heat Pump or Air Conditioning Leak be Repaired?
In most cases, fixing the leaks in the refrigerant is a straightforward process: the broken line is resoldered using high-temperature torching and solders that have a high percentage of silver. As an electrically conductive substance, we used MAPP gas, whereas a particular professional made use of acetylene or another gas.
This may sound Greek to most, so hiring a qualified repair technician is important for optimal results and peace of mind.
How Can I Tell If My Heat Pumps Are Leaking?
Gurgling sounds coming from heating pumps are a telltale sign that your air conditioning unit is leaking. Air bubbles and gurgling sounds may be caused by a refrigerator that has a leak. If you hear gurgling sounds coming from your pump while it is operating, you should get the system checked by one of our heat pump specialists.
