Common problems
Heat pump problems we help with in Gisborne
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 Gisborne
Gisborne heat pumps do a lot of cooling in hot, dry summers, and beach homes deal with salt air. Some low-lying homes also have outdoor units that have been through flooding.
Salt air at Wainui and Okitu
Beachside homes see faster corrosion on outdoor coils, fins and fixings. Regular cleaning and a service check help the unit last.
Flood and silt damage
Outdoor units that have sat in floodwater or silt can have damaged electrics and coils. Do not run a unit that has been under water until it has been checked.
Dusty filters in dry summers
Dry nor'westers carry dust that clogs filters and outdoor coils. A clogged unit cools poorly. Clean the filters regularly through summer.
Servicing in Gisborne
Heat pump servicing in Gisborne
Summer days are often in the high 20s, with some above 30 °C, and nor'westers dry everything out. Winter nights in town are mild, but inland valleys and flats such as Manutuke get regular frosts. Size for summer cooling and the winter heating usually takes care of itself. A yearly service keeps your heat pump running efficiently through the Gisborne winter.
Most manufacturers recommend a service once a year, and it can be a condition of the warranty.

Heat pump repairs in Gisborne: questions
My outdoor unit was in floodwater. Can I still use it?
Leave it off until a technician has checked it. Water and silt can damage the electrics and the coil, and running it before it is checked can make the damage worse or be unsafe.
Why does my heat pump struggle on hot Gisborne days?
Dirty filters or coils, low refrigerant or a failing fan are common causes. Check and clean the filters first, then get it looked at.
Can I get a heat pump repaired in Gisborne?
Yes. We pass your request to a local heat pump business that works in Gisborne. They contact you to talk through the fault and book a visit.
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 Gisborne.
