"While it is possible to cover a heat pump, doing it the wrong way could prove to be an expensive mistake. The right approach can reduce its visual impact and shield your system from falling leaves or snow, but the wrong approach can seriously reduce your heat pump's efficiency, increase its running costs and even shorten its lifespan."
"Heat pumps need clear space around the intake and exhaust to work at their best. If air can flow freely, the system will remain efficient and reliable. To shield the unit from leaves or weather, opt for purpose-built protective covers or shelters designed for HVAC equipment that allow full airflow."
"Air source heat pumps meant for outdoor installation should not require additional protection to ensure their longevity. For instance, all our heat pumps have top level corrosion protection as standard. These are the kind of diff"
Covering an air source heat pump is possible but must preserve unrestricted airflow around intake and exhaust. Proper coverings can reduce visual impact and protect against leaves or snow, while incorrect enclosures can lower efficiency, increase running costs, and shorten equipment life. Purpose-built protective covers or ventilated shelters designed for HVAC equipment are recommended to allow full airflow. Many outdoor heat pumps are manufactured with weather and corrosion protection for longevity and typically do not require additional shielding beyond solutions that maintain clear space for ventilation.
