Installation Locations

Optimal Indoor Unit Placement

Best practice positioning:

  • Central location on longest wall
  • 2.0-2.2 metres above floor minimum
  • Clear airflow path without obstructions
  • Away from direct sunlight
  • Accessible for filter maintenance

Avoid: Corners, behind furniture, above heat sources, direct window exposure.

Outdoor Unit Placement

Requirements:

  • Stable, level mounting surface
  • Adequate airflow clearances (300mm minimum all sides)
  • Protection from extreme weather exposure
  • Reasonable noise consideration for neighbours
  • Accessible for servicing
  • Maximum 20 metres from indoor unit

We assess optimal placement during site visit considering property layout, prevailing winds, and noise factors.

Electrical Requirements

Heat pump electrical requirements vary by capacity:

  • Small units (2.5-3.5kW): Typically 230V single-phase, 10-15 amp circuit.
  • Medium units (5-7kW): 230V single-phase, 20-32 amp dedicated circuit.
  • Large units (8kW+): May require three-phase power or upgraded electrical service.

Older properties may require electrical panel upgrades for safe heat pump operation. We assess electrical capacity during site visit and coordinate any required electrical work.

  • Mounting integrity
  • Refrigerant line connections
  • Electrical connections
