What you can check

  • Note the code shown on the controller and the unit model numbers (on the rating plate label) before contacting your installer.
  • Check the heat pump's breaker/isolator at the consumer unit is on; do not open any casing.
  • Check controller mode/temperature/timer settings have not been changed; setup (DIP switch) errors need the installer.

What the engineer will check

On the Super Aqua Monobloc (R32, AU..FYCRA(HW))

  • Check the standby reason parameters, the mode setting and the oil heater.

Who to ask for: Heat pump engineer.

Certification: Heat pump installer competence; F-gas / flammable-refrigerant (R290/R32) handling competence for any refrigerant-circuit work.
