What is Reyds Refrigeration?

What usually causes heat pump not switching on?

The most common causes are: Tripped breaker or failed contactor; High or low pressure switch locked out; Controller fault or corrupted settings; Wiring damage at the outdoor unit. A proper diagnosis identifies which one applies before any part is replaced.

Can I fix heat pump not switching on myself?

You can safely check the basics — power supply, filters, door seals and airflow obstructions. Anything involving refrigerant, sealed systems or electrical components requires a qualified refrigeration technician, both for safety and to avoid voiding warranties.

How soon can you attend in Boksburg?

Boksburg is our home base — emergency calls here are typically attended the same day, often within a couple of hours. Call 069 268 0988 and describe the symptom so we arrive with the right parts.

Will it need a regas?

Only if there is a genuine leak, and only after that leak has been located and repaired. Charging gas into a leaking system is a temporary fix that costs you twice.
