Before & After 👀
This is what we see far too often around Wellington.
BEFORE
Installed by an electrical company.
Unit not level. Sitting straight on the dirt with no slab or proper base underneath. Rough, messy pipe work and exposed cables. Set up to fail from day one.
AFTER
Installed correctly by a qualified air conditioning & refrigeration technician.
Level, on a proper base, clean insulated pipework, everything finished to standard.
We keep seeing these installs because of those short 4-hour “how to install a heat pump” courses. They leave systems (and homeowners) set up to fail.
That’s a world away from a full 4-year apprenticeship that covers the fundamentals of air conditioning and refrigeration, plus over 20 years actually working in the trade.
If your outdoor unit looks more like the before photo than the after, or you’re thinking about getting a heat pump installed properly the first time, get in touch.
