Your heat pump's outdoor unit works hard during an Auckland winter, creating condensation that needs a safe place to drain. Don't let this water pool on paths or gardens because it can cause slippery ice patches and severe dampness against your foundation. NZ building standards require this runoff to go directly into a stormwater system or soak pit to protect your property. Have you ever noticed where your heat pump water drains to? 💧❄️
