Local Context
Why this happens in Sea Point
High-density apartment blocks with shared plant and heavy salt exposure. Direct Atlantic exposure — persistent salt mist and strong wind loading on outdoor plant.
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

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