Air circulation and space
Good air circulation is essential for the heat pump to function properly. Ensure there is sufficient space around the outdoor unit so that it can draw in and discharge air without obstruction. In general, a distance of at least 30 centimetres from other objects is recommended.
Protection against weather conditions
The outdoor unit must be protected against extreme weather conditions such as heavy rain, snow, and direct sunlight. A location with some shelter, such as under a canopy or against a wall, can help extend the lifespan of the unit.
Noise nuisance
Heat pumps can produce some noise. If you choose a location close to a bedroom or living area, it is advisable to select a spot with minimal noise impact. Consult our specialists at Energie Install for tailored advice.
