Common Ecosmart Heat Pump Issues We Fix
Our licensed technicians have the experience and tools to diagnose and repair any fault with your Ecosmart heat pump system.
No hot water / lukewarm water
Power/tariff supply problems, sensor/control faults, incorrect mode, or booster element issues. We confirm supply (incl. controlled-load/off-peak), test sensors and controller, and restore efficient operation.
Unit runs constantly / short cycles
Cold ambient conditions, dirty/blocked louvers/coil, or control/sensor problems. We clean, test and recommission.
PTR valve (TPR) dripping
Occasional discharge is normal; steady flow often means debris or pressure/temperature issues. We exercise/test the valve, replace if needed, and verify relief/drain lines.
Noise & vibration
Fan bearing wear, debris on the evaporator, or loose mounts. We clean, realign and replace components as required.
Condensate pooling / drainage issues
Blocked or incorrectly connected condensate line (must be separate from relief drain). We clear and reroute to spec.
Wi-Fi / Smart Life app connectivity
We pair the heater, set timers, and configure Eco/Boost/Holiday/Rescue modes for off-peak or solar self-use.
How Ecosmart Heat Pumps Work
Ecosmart heat pumps pull heat from outdoor air using a fan + evaporator + compressor + tank heat-exchange system, then store it in a 200 L or 300 L cylinder. The controller offers Eco (HP only), Boost (HP + element), Holiday, and Rescue (element-only if the HP side faults).
Components We Service

- Fan & coil assemblies

Cold-Weather Behaviour
Active DefrostThe unit has an active defrost function to handle icing during cold weather operation.
Anti-Freeze FunctionRequires the water heater to remain powered. Damage from freezing isn't covered if the unit is left unpowered.
Note: Always leave your Ecosmart heat pump switched on at the breaker to ensure the anti-freeze protection remains active.
