Consumer rights and heat pumps

tjk1001, Jul 5, 3:17pm
We installed a new heatpump 6 weeks ago, it worked for an hour, then stopped, the warranty came into effect and we waited 4 weeks for the part and to have it fitted, it has worked for 8 days, and now has stopped working again.
Feels like we got a dud of a heat pump, it's a frujitsu, installed by a professional company.
Where to we stand, I want a new one at this stage, but how many times do we give to repair? Given how long it takes to repair

only once. so you decide whether you want a new install or money back. read the cga on how to reject in writing. don't leave it too long.

As with anything mass produced there are some "lemons". it appears you have one, a complete replacement unit will most likely be quicker to source and replace rather than parts as some companies don't keep spares in the country.
Fujitsu are usually pretty good, I have two at home and have never had a problem.
What went wrong the first time?

Some electrical board wasn't working, and now all the lights are flashing and nothing is going on. I will ring them tomorrow and see if we can get the whole unit replaced.
