Find local air source heat pump installation & repair in Christchurch

The air source heat pump installation service includes the necessary tasks to set up the air source heat pump and get it up and running. As for repairs, this involves a thorough inspection of the heat pump to determine the source of the problem, then making the appropriate fixes. 

The installation service can include setting up the outdoor unit on a mount, cutting holes on the walls for pipes and wiring, installing the radiators, then finally attaching the wiring. 

Installing the outdoor units

The main unit of the air source heat pump should be at the warmest spot outside your home, which is usually an area facing the sun. Your technician can find an appropriate location if one hasn’t been determined.

If there is no stable platform on which to place the elevated steel mounts, some heat pump technicians can fabricate a concrete base, but this can cost extra. Once they’ve made a stable platform, they position the mount that is above the snow line, then fasten the outdoor unit onto it. 

Making holes for pipes and wiring: Installing the radiators

Your hired installers cut out holes on the wall beside the air source heat pump to accommodate the wires and pipes. The next step for your heat pump installation service is to install the radiators inside your home. They can bolt on the mounts for the radiators at the areas you specify, then attach the radiators onto the mounts.   

Attaching the pipes and wires

Your heat pump technician first shuts off the power in your home in preparation for the wiring installation. They measure and cut the wires to appropriate lengths and widths, then attach them to the radiators, circuit breaker, control panel and outdoor unit. Pipes are likewise measured, cut and installed. The pipes are then connected to radiators and related heating systems like underfloor heating, if necessary. 

Testing the air source heat pump

Once the installation is complete, your heat pump technician tests the system. They can check that the voltage and heat output are within acceptable levels. If the system fails or heat output or voltage aren’t at the right levels, your heat pump technician shuts off the system and the power. They check the installation for any problems, then do the needed fixes until your air source heat pump installation works perfectly.
