Full DIY installation is not advised, as heat pumps require professional refrigerant handling, electrical wiring and system commissioning. Improper installation causes safety risks, faulty operation and voided warranties.<\/div>\n

Risks You Must Know for DIY Installation<\/h1>\n

Warranty Risk<\/span>: For most domestic brands, installation by non\u2011professionals will directly void the full\u2011unit warranty. A small number of overseas DIY\u2011oriented models permit self\u2011installation, yet strict compliance with the instruction manual is mandatory.<\/p>\n

Electrical Safety<\/span>: High\u2011power heat pumps require a dedicated circuit breaker and proper earthing. If you are unfamiliar with high\u2011voltage electricity, always hire a licensed electrician.<\/p>\n

Refrigerant Safety<\/span>: R32 is mildly flammable and R290 is flammable. Untrained personnel are strictly prohibited from opening the refrigerant circuit. (EMSD)<\/p>\n

Wall drill holes<\/span> shall slope downwards to ensure condensate drains outdoors and prevent water leakage and indoor flooding.<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"template":"","meta":{"site-sidebar-layout":"default","site-content-layout":"","ast-site-content-layout":"default","site-content-style":"default","site-sidebar-style":"default","ast-global-header-display":"","ast-banner-title-visibility":"","ast-main-header-display":"","ast-hfb-above-header-display":"","ast-hfb-below-header-display":"","ast-hfb-mobile-header-display":"","site-post-title":"","ast-breadcrumbs-content":"","ast-featured-img":"","footer-sml-layout":"","ast-disable-related-posts":"","theme-transparent-header-meta":"default","adv-header-id-meta":"","stick-header-meta":"default","header-above-stick-meta":"","header-main-stick-meta":"","header-below-stick-meta":"","astra-migrate-meta-layouts":"set","ast-page-background-enabled":"default","ast-page-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"ast-content-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}}},"categories":[],"faqcat":[397],"class_list":["post-7522","heatpump_faqs","type-heatpump_faqs","status-publish","hentry","faqcat-heat-pump-faqs"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.china-heatpump.com\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/heatpump_faqs\/7522","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.china-heatpump.com\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/heatpump_faqs"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.china-heatpump.com\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/heatpump_faqs"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/www.china-heatpump.com\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/heatpump_faqs\/7522\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":7525,"href":"https:\/\/www.china-heatpump.com\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/heatpump_faqs\/7522\/revisions\/7525"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.china-heatpump.com\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=7522"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.china-heatpump.com\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=7522"},{"taxonomy":"faqcat","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.china-heatpump.com\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/faqcat?post=7522"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
