Invercargill
What a service focuses on in Invercargill
The same clean, aimed at the conditions this place actually puts on a heat pump.
Long winter hours
Fans and filters see more use here than in a mild city. A yearly service is the minimum. Homes that run the unit day and night should not skip a year and hope.
Outdoor coil before the cold
A dirty outdoor coil frosts and defrosts poorly. The service washes it and checks air can move. Deep cold will still ice a clean coil. That is normal. Ice that stays put is a fault to report.
The indoor side of a villa
Tall, older rooms move a lot of air across the coil. Dust builds on the fan. If the unit smells when it starts, that is what the clean is for.
The visit
What the technician does
A service is a clean and a check. It is the right request when the unit still runs and you want it kept that way.
If it has stopped heating or cooling, is leaking, or shows an error code, send a repair request instead. That goes to technicians who cover Invercargill as well.
- Clean or replace the indoor filters
- Clean the indoor coil, fan and drain tray
- Clear and flush the condensate drain
- Wash the outdoor coil and check the air can move around it

Heat pump servicing in Invercargill
When should Invercargill homes book?
Autumn. Once the cold is established, everyone wants the same week. A service booked early is a clean. A unit that has already failed is a repair request.
What if the unit is my only heating?
Say that on the form. It does not change the clean, and it tells the technician the visit matters before winter. If it has already stopped, choose a repair.
What is a heat pump service?
A clean and a check while the unit is still running. Filters, indoor coil, fan, drain and outdoor coil, then a run on heat and cool. It is not a repair visit for a unit that has already stopped.
How often should a heat pump be serviced?
Once a year suits most homes. Homes near the sea, or units that run most of the day, often need it more often. The technician can say what fits after the first visit.
Faults
Unit already playing up?
A repair visit is for a fault. Installation is for a new or replacement unit. Both are available in Invercargill.
