How do I reset my Brivis NC6?
To reset your Brivis NC6 you firstly need to make sure your unit is switched off. Once your unit is switched off, you need to open the tab on the right-hand side of your controller. Once this is open, you should be able to see numbered buttons ascending downwards from 1 to 5. Press the ‘Fn’ button, then press key 1 then key 4. The screen should go blank momentarily, allowing the NC6 to stabilise, then the ‘off’ screen will appear, soon after this. To restart the system, press the on button and adjust the temperature accordingly.

How often should I clear my air filters?
It is recommended you clean your Return air filter or Split System air filter every 2 weeks to ensure your unit can draw in adequate airflow and you are breathing clean air.
Why is there air coming out of some of my vents but not others?
The most common causes are an issue with ducts coming detached from your outlets or if you have zoning, it could be an issue with either the zone controller or motors.
Why are plumbers coming out to fix my gas ducted heater or evaporative cooler?
The Plumbing qualification encompasses both gas and water, so your technician is a qualified plumber who specialises in Mechanical Plumbing and Type A Gas Appliance Servicing.
Why does water flow from my drainpipe when the evaporative cooler is turned off?
Evaporative coolers are designed to empty themselves of water when turned off, to ensure there is no stagnant water in the unit. Brivis units by default, will dump the water 1 hour after being turned off.
Can I use my unit if there is a spanner on the controller?
Brivis controllers are designed to come up with a spanner as a reminder your unit is due for a service. A general service is recommended by the manufacturer every 2 years or 1500 fan run hours.
Will the technician have parts with them on the day to fix my unit?
As authorised Brivis and Rinnai technicians, we carry the most common parts of these brands with us.
