FAQ
Questions we hear often
Does a heat pump need its own dedicated circuit?
Yes. Heat pumps draw significant power. A dedicated, properly sized circuit with appropriate protection is essential for safety and reliability.
Can you install a heat pump on an existing geyser circuit?
No. Sharing a circuit causes tripping and potential safety issues. We install a separate circuit sized for the heat pump load.
What circuit protection is needed?
Heat pumps require a breaker and potentially an RCD for personnel protection, sized to the unit rating. We assess your system and size appropriately.
Can you wire a heat pump for future solar integration?
Yes. We plan the installation so it can be easily integrated with a solar system later when you are ready to expand.
