Local Context
Why this happens in Wynberg
Heritage homes and flats with older plumbing that affects retrofit planning. Cooler, wetter winters on the mountain side with damp mornings affecting defrost cycles.
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.
