Do you repair Everhot 280L or split heat pump systems?

Yes. We service all Everhot R290 and 251E280 heat pump systems including integrated and split models, repairing sensors, controls, valves and compressors.

Why is my Everhot heat pump only giving warm water?

Common causes include low refrigerant, restricted airflow, sensor or control faults, or the booster element not engaging. We diagnose and fix the root issue.

The PTR valve keeps dripping — is that normal?

A small discharge during heating is normal. Continuous flow can indicate pressure or valve wear. We test and replace the valve if required.

How often should I service my Everhot heat pump?

Minor checks every 6 months and a full service every 5 years are recommended, including PTR valve testing, anode replacement, and coil cleaning.

Everhot Heat Pump System Overview & Technical Specifications

From available specs:

Everhot’s 280 L R290 heat pump has wrap-around microchannel coil heating for uniform heating.
It uses R290 refrigerant, ultra low GWP (< 3).
Operating ambient range: approx –6 °C to +43 °C
Has a 2.4 kW backup electric element to assist when ambient heat is low.
Relief valve is set to 1000 kPa in many models.
The tank warranty is 5 years (for the cylinder).
The Everhot “split” heat pump + tank modules allow flexible installations (module can be placed away from tank)
The owner’s manual notes freeze protection: “In areas where the ambient air temperature may fall below 0 °C, power must be available to the water heater at all times to prevent freezing in the heat pump circuit.”
The unit is designed to heat up to 60 °C water temperature.
Maintenance intervals: minor every 6 months by the occupant (e.g. test PTR, check filters) and major service every 5 years by a qualified person

Common Issues / Faults with Everhot Heat Pumps

Based on heat pump general faults plus specifics from Everhot manual/specs:

Frequent running / never stops	Ambient too cold, coil iced/dirty, sensor or control faults, undersized unit	Clean coil, verify defrost operation, test controls.
Noise / vibration	Fan motor bearings, debris in evaporator, loose casing, compressor strain	Inspect fan, tighten mounts, clear debris.

Everhot heat Pump repairs frequently asked questions

Do you repair Everhot 280 L / 251E280 / split modules?

Yes — we service integrated and split Everhot heat pump systems with module + tank configurations. The 251E280 manual is available for reference.

What happens if ambient temperature falls below 0 °C?

Everhot’s manual warns that power must stay available to avoid refrigerant freeze damage. If the unit is turned off in subzero, freeze damage might occur.

How often should I service it?

Minor checks every 6 months (relief valve test, coil clean). Major service every 5 years including full inspection and component replacement.

Will tampering void warranty?

Yes — altering or bypassing safety devices or incorrect installation not in accordance with guide can void warranty. The manual states that warranty may not apply if installation doesn’t follow instructions.
