Heat pumps are beloved appliances, especially during chilly Wellington winters. Not only can they keep a home warm and dry with relatively little energy use, they can also operate as air conditioners through the warmer months.
The problem is that they’re not exactly easy to shift. The heat pump may have been placed poorly to adequately heat and cool your home to begin with, or perhaps you’re looking to renovate and need to relocate the appliance, or perhaps you simply prefer it to be somewhere less intrusive in your interior design scheme.
Unfortunately, unlike many heaters and other appliances, it’s not just a case of unplugging it and shifting it elsewhere before plugging it in again.
