Heat Pump Water Heater Installation Guide
Location of the Water Heater Unit
Econergy
®
water heater units are designed to be installed outside, in the
ceiling cavity (if one exists), under the house or in a garage, adjacent to
the hot water cylinder (HWC). The Econergy® water heater should not be
located within living areas as the unit produces cold air.
Location of the Econergy
®
water heater will be determined by a combination
of factors including proximity to the hot water cylinder, proximity to bedrooms
and whether there is usable space where the unit is going to be located.
For installation to existing homes, the unit should be installed with a maximum
insulated pipe run of 9 metres.
For new homes, the layout should be designed so that the unit can be
installed as close to the HWC as practical within the 9 metre maximum pipe
run. The HWC can be installed inside or outside but as close to main points
of use as possible.
Econergy
®
Water Heaters must be installed in a
well ventilated space outside the living areas
!
The Econergy
®
Water Heater emits 52 dbA
at 1.5 metres (HP4000LT) and should not be
installed adjacent to bedrooms. Ensure that
the unit is located so that noise will not affect
the residents. If installing in roof cavities, the
cavities must be at least 80m
2
. The unit must be
seismically restrained and located away from
bedrooms to avoid noise breakthrough.
