Common questions
My Midea unit heats but will not cool. What is wrong in Riviera?
That points to the four-way reversing valve sticking or its solenoid coil failing. It can often be freed and the coil replaced without opening the sealed system.
Is a heat pump geyser worth repairing or should I replace it?
If the tank and compressor are sound, repairs are far cheaper than replacement. Where the compressor has failed on a unit older than eight years, we quote both options side by side.
Do you charge a callout fee?
A standard callout and diagnostic fee applies and is quoted upfront. It is credited against the repair when you accept the quote.
