What it means

The manual says: Power failure: one or two phases to the heat pump are down.

Part involved: incoming supply.

Likely causes:

  • One or two phases down (house fuses blown / MCBs tripped). The heat pump keeps its settings and restarts automatically ~15 min after power returns.

Is it safe?

Does the heat pump stop?Yes
SeverityFault — clears by itself when the condition goes
Engineer needed?Yes

The heat pump stops until the fault clears or is reset.

Resetting itself: Yes.

What you can check

  • Check the heat pump's breaker/isolator at the consumer unit is on and has not tripped. Check the house fuses/breakers supplying the heat pump; reset a tripped breaker once. The heat pump returns to operation automatically 15 minutes after the fault is rectified.

What the engineer will check

  • Check all three phases at the heat pump; investigate supply.

Who to ask for: heat pump engineer.

Certification: Qualified electrician / heat pump engineer (electrical fault-finding).
