Keep-you-going options — enable element-only mode (if fitted) or install a temporary hot water unit
Strata/duplex friendly around Guineas Creek Rd, 19th Ave, KP McGrath Dr and hillside cul-de-sacs

Elanora field notes — why units struggle here

Sea haze + creek humidity near Pine Lake/Tallebudgera Creek mats evaporator coils → fans get loud, defrost drags.
Enclosed alcoves beside garages recirculate warm air → confused defrost, long run times.
Power blips around shopping/road works shift controller clocks → unit misses the off-peak window; mornings stay lukewarm.

Tempering/NRV valve drift in older duplex pockets off 19th Ave → storage is hot but taps feel tepid.
Pests & moisture in outdoor control boxes (classic SEQ) → intermittent RCD trips, buzzing relays, “ghost” codes.
Long two-storey pipe runs on sloped blocks → delays to hot at the tap; we set valves and verify recovery at fixtures, not just at the tank.

We plan for tight side paths, steep driveways and body-corp rules — with surface protection and tidy finishes.

Mini case study — townhouse near The Pines

Symptoms: The system had produced not hot water for 24 hours.
Findings: The electrican detected the system had no power issue so tested th heating compenents and found the issue was a faulty element.
Fix: Replaced the element with a better and more suitable brand.
Outcome: Consistent heating without issue.

Our tri-trade checklist (we prove it before we leave)

Air & refrigeration — coil state, fan speed/amperage, airflow path, non-invasive discharge/suction temps, start/run capacitors, vibration/noise
Electrical — supply quality, RCD behaviour, element/compressor draw, controller clock/program integrity
Plumbing — inlet pressure, tempering valve + non-return performance, leaks, anode (where applicable)
Proof — outlet & storage temps and recovery time, with photo notes for owners/strata/warranty

Same-day fixes we often complete

Coil clean & drain clear • fan motors & capacitors • tank/coil thermistors • tempering & non-return valves • element & thermostat (where fitted) • controller re-programming • corroded unions & seals
Control boards and compressors are typically order-only; we set a safe temporary plan meanwhile.

Repair vs replace — straight talk

Repair when the tank is sound and the failure is a component (sensor, fan, capacitor, valve, element).
Replace when the cylinder is corroded, compressors keep faulting, or parts are obsolete. We’ll specify a new heat pump sized for your household and tariff, install it, remove the old unit and register warranties.
