Where should I site the Heat Pump?

Most people put the internal unit of a Ground Source Heat Pump in a utility room or garage. The Air Source Heat Pump is an external unit with an indoor water cylinder and control panel. The external unit is usually placed near a wall, but can be set away from the property. It can be fixed to the ground on a solid platform, or wall mounted with special brackets. An Air Source Heat Pump must have at least 1metre clearance to the front and 30cms behind, in order for air circulation.
