Installation
Heat pump water heaters can be installed in houses or apartments, new constructions, or renovations. They can function in heated or unheated rooms, depending on the model and configuration.
- For apartments: Opt for models, such as the Calypso VM. Installation can take place in non-living areas like laundry rooms, hallways, or bathrooms.
- For houses: You have more flexibility with models like the Calypso, Explorer, or Egeo.
Placement Guidelines
Models that draw ambient air must be installed in an unheated room with a minimum temperature of 5°C and a volume of at least 20m³ to ensure optimal operation of the heat pump. Suitable locations include a laundry room, garage, basement, or pantry.
In contrast, outdoor air and split models are more flexible. These can be installed in either heated or unheated rooms with a year-round minimum temperature of 1°C, such as a garage, pantry, laundry room, entryway, or basement. The wall-mounted version of the Calypso ambient air model can even be installed in a kitchen or bathroom.
Ease of Use and Maintenance
Daily use of this equipment is straightforward as it functions similarly to a traditional water heater. Minimal maintenance is required, with a recommended inspection every two years.
