Common Sanden Heat Pump Issues We Fix
Here are the most common faults we diagnose and repair on Sanden heat pumps.
No hot water / lukewarm
Sensor fault, compressor not engaging, refrigerant loss, restricted airflow, or tariff/timer issue.
PTR valve dripping
High pressure/temperature, worn valve, or blocked drain. We test valve & pressures, replace if needed, and confirm drain routing.

Noise / vibration
