Common problems
Heat pump problems we help with in Napier-Hastings
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 Napier-Hastings
Hawke's Bay heat pumps do a lot of cooling in hot, dry summers, and coastal Napier homes deal with salt air. Common repair calls here are about dusty filters, cooling faults and corrosion.
Dust and clogged filters
Dry summers, orchards and vineyards mean dust and pollen load up filters and outdoor coils. A clogged unit cools and heats poorly and uses more power. Clean the filters regularly and get the coil cleaned at a service.
Units that will not cool on hot days
If the lounge no longer cools on a hot nor'west afternoon, dirty coils, low refrigerant or a failing fan are common causes. A technician can find which.
Salt air on coastal Napier homes
Homes along Marine Parade, Westshore and Ahuriri take salt spray off the bay. Outdoor coils and fixings corrode faster, so regular cleaning and checks matter.
Servicing in Napier-Hastings
Heat pump servicing in Napier-Hastings
Specify for cooling capacity as well as heating. A unit that only looks at winter kW can feel weak in a January north-westerly. Coastal Napier is kinder on frost than inland Hastings. A yearly service keeps your heat pump running efficiently through the Napier-Hastings winter.
Most manufacturers recommend a service once a year, and it can be a condition of the warranty.
- Clean or replace the indoor filters
- Clean the indoor coil and fan

Heat pump repairs in Napier-Hastings: questions
How often should I clean my heat pump filters in Hawke's Bay?
Every few weeks when it is running a lot, especially in dry, dusty summers. Dirty filters are one of the most common reasons a unit stops cooling or heating well.
Why is my heat pump blowing warm air on cooling mode?
It could be dirty filters or coils, a blocked outdoor unit, low refrigerant or a fault with the fan or a sensor. Check the filters first, then get it looked at.
Can I get a heat pump repaired in Napier-Hastings?
Yes. We pass your request to a local heat pump business that works in Napier-Hastings. 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 Napier-Hastings.
