The first and foremost important thing for heat pump installation <\/strong>is to find an appropriate place to place the main unit. This would ideally need to be in a sheltered and safe place where it will not be open to any sort of heavy rains and winds or be interfered with by anyone who is passing by.<\/p>\n\n\n\nYou would also need a reasonable clearance around the unit which must be about 200mm for some wall-mounted units, more for bigger, floor systems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The whole installation would involve an outdoor section as well as an indoor section, so you will have to make sure that there is sufficient space inside as well. After both of these units are fitted onto their mountings, refrigerant and drain hose pipes are properly connected and then insulated, both inside and out. This whole system can then be connected to your indoor heating systems such as the boiler or radiators.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/span>Heat Pumps Installation Costs<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\nHere are some of the factors you will have to consider when reviewing the pricing of heat pump units:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/span>Size:<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\nUsually, the capacity of a heat pump is measured in tons, and the typical units on the market would fall between 2 and 5 tons. So finding the perfect size for your home is really very important. Going for the one that is very small may require it to run continuously which can obviously raise your energy bill and wear out the system. On the other side higher tons can come at pricier up-front costs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/span>Brand:<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\nA lot of these brands offer a range of units at many different prices starting from cheaper, lower-quality to expensive, high-quality systems. You will have to shop around on the market and read all the reviews for each brand to make sure that you make the best choice, rather than choosing solely on price.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/span>Installation:<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\nHiring an HVAC contractor to help you with your heat pump installation is really very. Labor costs can differ which would depend on the heat pump type. For instance, geothermal units would require more work in order to install because of the reason that they need to be buried under at least 4 feet of the ground. In fact, ductless mini-split heat pumps can cost as little as $500 for a quick and easy installation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/span>Heating Seasonal Performance Ratio (HSPF):<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\nThis rating is a metric that is used to measure the efficiency of a heat pump but particularly for how it heats a home. Typical HSPF ratings on the market fall between 8.2 and 13, with the higher number being the most efficient.<\/p>\n\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
