This will help to maintain energy efficiency and reduce any potential issues down the line. Trust me, future-you will thank you! Finally, once everything is all set up, don’t skip out on testing the system before sealing everything up. Make sure it’s functioning correctly—no leaks, no weird noises. After all, the last thing you want is a callback! So if you’re ready to tackle heat pump installation, grab your tools, watch the video for some hands-on tips, and get started. Happy installing!
