Common problems
Heat pump problems we help with in Blenheim
If your heat pump is doing any of these, get it checked before it gets worse.
Not heating or cooling
Blowing air that is lukewarm or not changing temperature. Often a blocked filter, a low refrigerant charge or a sensor fault.
Water leaking inside
Drips from the indoor unit usually mean a blocked or poorly graded drain line. Turn it off if water is near power.
Error code or flashing light
Most units show a code when something is wrong. Note it down and put it on the form. It helps the technician come prepared.
Strange noises
Rattling, grinding, squealing or loud clicking from either unit can point to a loose panel, a failing fan or a compressor issue.
Bad smell
A musty smell when it starts usually means mould or dirt on the coil and filters. A proper clean normally sorts it.
Won't turn on
Check the remote batteries and the switch at the board first. If it still won't start, it needs a heat pump technician.
Local conditions
Common heat pump issues in Blenheim
Blenheim heat pumps work hard at both ends of the year, cooling through hot, dry summers and heating through frosty winters. Common repair calls here are about dust, icing and units that struggle in the heat.
Dust and clogged filters
Dry conditions and vineyard dust load up filters and outdoor coils. A clogged unit heats and cools poorly. Clean the filters every few weeks when the unit is busy.
Frost and icing on the Wairau Plains
Cold air settles on the plains on clear winter nights. Outdoor units ice up and defrost often. Ice that does not clear can point to a fault.
Struggling on hot afternoons
If the unit no longer cools well on a hot summer afternoon, dirty coils, low refrigerant or a failing fan are common causes.
Servicing in Blenheim
Heat pump servicing in Blenheim
The Wairau Plains are dry and sunny, with summer highs well over 30 °C. On clear winter nights cold air settles in the valley and frosts are common. Ask for a unit that performs at both ends, and an outdoor spot that drains well when it defrosts. A yearly service keeps your heat pump running efficiently through the Blenheim winter.
Most manufacturers recommend a service once a year, and it can be a condition of the warranty.

Heat pump repairs in Blenheim: questions
Why does my heat pump ice up on frosty Blenheim mornings?
Some ice is normal, and the unit melts it with a defrost cycle. If ice builds up and stays, or the unit stops heating, get it checked.

Yes, where a local business covers those areas. Put your town on the form.

Who does the repair?
A local heat pump business in your area. We pass your request to them. They contact you, visit, and do the work.
Can you repair any brand?
Most local heat pump businesses work on all the common brands, including Mitsubishi, Daikin, Panasonic, Fujitsu and Samsung. Put your brand on the form so the technician knows before they call.
How often should a heat pump be serviced?
Once a year is a good rule, or every six months if it runs most of the day or you live near the coast. Clean the indoor filters yourself every few weeks in winter.
Is it safe to keep using it?
If it is leaking water near power, tripping the switchboard or smells of burning, turn it off at the switch and leave it off until it has been checked.
Can I top up the gas myself?
No. Refrigerant work should be done by a technician who holds an Approved Filler certificate. A unit that is low on gas also has a leak that needs finding.
What does a repair cost?
It depends on the fault. The technician will tell you what they find and what the fix involves before they do the work.
Replacement
Old unit not worth fixing?
If a repair does not stack up, get a quote for a new heat pump from a local installer in Blenheim.
