Supporting Local: AirCare Heat Pump Cleaning

At MJR Plumbing & Gas, we're big believers in supporting other good Christchurch businesses. Running a trade or service business isn't easy, and over the years we've built relationships with other local business owners who share many of the same values we do – looking after customers, doing what you say you're going to do and taking pride in the service you provide.

One of those businesses is AirCare Heat Pump Cleaning, run by our friend Ros and her team here in Christchurch.

We know Ros through our local BNI network, where we've had the opportunity to get to know her and her business properly. That's one of the things we value about BNI – we actually get to know the people behind the businesses we're recommending.

AirCare specialises in professional heat pump cleaning. Their deep-clean service goes beyond simply cleaning the filters, cleaning the internal components of the indoor unit as well as refreshing and inspecting the outdoor unit. They also offer specialist services where mould is discovered inside a heat pump.

For Christchurch homeowners, that's particularly relevant when heat pumps are working hard through winter.

Why are we sharing another local business on a plumbing website?

Because we don't think being Your Property Partner should stop at plumbing.

Our customers ask us if we know a good electrician, painter, heat pump specialist or other trusted trade. We'd much rather recommend someone we've actually got a relationship with than tell them to search Google and hope for the best.

So from time to time, we'll be introducing some of the other Christchurch businesses and tradespeople in our network that we're happy to support.

If your heat pump is due for a proper clean, you can find out more about Ros and the AirCare team at AirCare Heat Pump Cleaning.

We've put together a practical guide for Christchurch homeowners and property managers covering:

βœ”οΈ How to minimise water damage
βœ”οΈ When to turn off your water

🏑 Own a Christchurch villa?

One of the biggest problems with older homes is that leaks often start where you can't see them.

By the time you notice a damp smell, soft flooring or staining, water may have been causing damage beneath the house for weeks or even months.

In our latest blog, we explain:

βœ”οΈ The warning signs of hidden leaks
βœ”οΈ Why Christchurch villas are particularly vulnerable
βœ”οΈ What can happen if leaks are ignored
βœ”οΈ When it's time to call a plumber

When a Blocked Drain won't budge... MJs don't give up

This kitchen sink was completely blocked when we arrived on site late Monday afternoon.

We tried every appropriate method to clear it:
βœ”οΈ Plunging
βœ”οΈ Drain cleaning solution
βœ”οΈ Drain spring
βœ”οΈ Mains water pressure

Despite all that, we could only get the drain partially flowing.

Rather than settling for a temporary fix, we updated the property manager and returned with our water blaster and a second technician to properly clear the blockage.

The culprit? Years of built-up fats and grease combined with a waste pipe installed on a very shallow fall, allowing debris to collect instead of washing away.

After thoroughly cleaning the line, the drain was flowing freely again.

Sometimes the quickest solution isn't the first one you tryβ€”it's making sure the job is actually fixed properly.

That's the MJR difference. We keep Christchurch flowing.

🚨 Water pouring onto the roof during a property viewing? That's a problem that can't wait.

At 7:45pm on Sunday night, we received an urgent job request from a Christchurch property manager after a sales agent spotted hot water spilling into the roof spouting during a house viewing.

By 8:00am Monday morning, Grant was onsite investigating the issue.

The culprit? A very old Nefa valve had failed, allowing hot water to continuously discharge into the spouting.

βœ… Fault diagnosed.
βœ… New Nefa valve installed.
βœ… Problem resolved.

For property managers, timing matters. Fast action can prevent unnecessary water waste, reduce the risk of further damage, and give everyone confidence that the issue is under control.

When something unexpected happens, you need a plumbing team that's ready to respond.

That's what we're here for.

🚽 A Running Toilet Isn't Just Annoying... It's Wasting Water

One of our plumbers, Grant, was called out on Friday to investigate a toilet that just wouldn't stop running.

The issue?
After flushing, the cistern continued to refill and wouldn't shut off, meaning water was constantly flowing into the bowl.

In this case, Grant found the inlet valve wasn't shutting off correctly. He replaced the faulty valve, tested everything thoroughly, and had the toilet working as it should before leaving.

πŸ’§ A continuously running toilet can waste hundreds of litres of water every day if left unattended, leading to unnecessary water bills and potential damage over time.

If your toilet:
βœ” Continues running after flushing
βœ” Takes a long time to refill
βœ” Makes hissing or trickling noises
βœ” Needs the handle jiggled to stop running
..it's worth getting it checked before it turns into a bigger problem.

At MJR Plumbing & Gas, we pride ourselves on providing prompt, reliable maintenance plumbing across Christchurch, helping homeowners, landlords and property managers keep their properties running smoothly.

Is your waste disposal or Insinkerator not working?

Before you book a plumber, there are a few simple things you can safely check, like the power supply and the reset button underneath the unit.

Just as importantly, avoid putting coffee grounds, rice, potato peelings, bones and cooking fats down your waste disposal, as these are some of the most common causes of blockages and motor damage.

If your unit is leaking, making grinding noises or keeps tripping the power, it's time to give us a call.
