Heat Pump Water Heater Installation Guide

e) Open Ended Garage Installations. 

The heat pump must be installed on 

brackets as high up to the ceiling as possible with louvers fitted to direct the 

cold air from the unit to fall to the floor. This allows the cold air to flow along 

the floor to the outside and the heat pump receives warmer air from under the 

ceiling which makes the unit considerably more efficient. The height at which 

the heat pump is installed must also allow the covers to be lifted vertically 

over the top of the unit for service and electrical installation. 

f) Roof Mounting. 

Use accessory HPRMK. Mount roof brackets onto roof 

following instructions supplied with kit. Screw 2x 50x50 AL angles supplied 

into side of unit. Place angles across mounting rails of roof mounting kit.  

Using M10 SS bolts supplied, bolt down through anti-vibration mounts into 

spring nuts in channels.

Please note: 

If the heat pump is installed in a coastal situation, efforts should 

be made to protect the unit from salt spray to avoid premature corrosion. 

2. Pre-wiring & Pre-plumbing for Renovations & New Builds

This is required if piping and/or cables need to run through walls/floors/roof 

cavities etc. Run 1x Mains cable and 1x CAT-5 UTP cable allowing an extra 2m 

free play at either end. Run 2x 15mm pipes, fully insulated along their length. 

Do not invert the outdoor unit to attach the 

mounting feet or at any other time during 

installation. This may cause damage to internal 

components and may void the warranty.

!

Do not wall mount the unit on any timber 

framed wall (with or without brick veneer)

!

A pre-made CAT- 5/6 cable is required 

 

for installation of Econergy heat pumps
