Most heat pump installations are relatively straightforward. The first step is to determine where the unit will be installed. It's important to choose a location that will allow the unit to operate efficiently and that is convenient for maintenance and repair access.
Once the location is chosen, the next step is to prepare the area for installation. This usually involves clearing away any debris or vegetation that might interfere with the unit's operation. The area should also be level so that the unit can be properly installed.
