Local Context
Why this happens in De Waterkant
Compact heritage cottages and short-let apartments with continuous guest hot water demand. Sheltered under Table Mountain with strong summer south-easters funnelling between buildings.
We see heat pump not working across domestic geyser retrofits, integrated hot water systems, pool plant and commercial installations. The diagnosis is the same discipline every time: prove the fault with readings before replacing anything.
Urgent

- 01Isolate the unit at the isolator rather than repeatedly resetting the breaker.

- 03Note the brand, approximate age and when the problem started.
- 04Call 069 268 0988 so we can triage before attending.
