Pre-Installation Site Check
Before installing your new Apricus heat pump, a site inspection confirms adequate provision for:
Positioning – Needs an outdoor stable surface with weather protection plus 1m clearance zones for airflow without obstruction
Power Supply – Requires a dedicated 20A circuit from the switchboard for the hardwired connection
Plumbing Links – Copper piping to connect the water storage tank flows and drain for condensate drip tray
Most installations take advantage of space previously occupied by older electric or gas cylinders being replaced. As long as the logistical elements line up, no major preparatory work is required.
Installation Timeframe
From delivery of the heat pump unit to full operation takes 1 day depending on the specifics of your home. This includes:
Morning
Removal of existing cylinder/water heating hardware
Positioning and securing heat pump on base
Plumbing connections for water in/out pipes plus overflow and drain
Wiring up power supply to unit
Afternoon
Pipe lagging and insulation finish up
Electrical safety certification
Test heating cycles and commissioning
Controller programming
With the right equipment and preparation, our teams can undertake installation efficiently as a near plug-and-play replacement for your old water heating system. Prefabricated brackets and templates help minimise custom fabrication work required on-site. We do this according to the Apricus heat pump manual. Therefore, you will not encounter any issues with your hot water heat pump in future.
Associated Building Work
Some minor alterations may be necessary such as creating openings for pipework routing or patching holes after removing old cylinders and venting. Outdoor units are normally positioned on stands rather than drilling wall brackets.
Unless specifically requested, we avoid unnecessary damage or restoration work beyond necessary functional changes. Priority is getting your hot water running optimally as soon as possible while keeping disruption minimal. If required, we can arrange experienced tradespeople for tidy finishing work.
Post-Installation Details
Once your Apricus Heat Pump is up and running, a final commissioning process ensures:
Control settings tuned to usage needs
Preferred operating modes activated e.g. solar diverting
Heating schedule aligned to off-peak power rates
Homeowner educated on general maintenance
You also receive a detailed handover package covering warranty registration, servicing, troubleshooting and how to operate the sophisticated touchscreen controller. We handle recycling any old units and provide an electrical safety certificate for your records after the job.
