IS IT OK TO PLACE FURNITURE IN FRONT OF THE HEAT PUMP UNIT?

No, it's very important not to place furniture or any other obstacles in front of your heat pump unit.

The heat pump requires proper airflow to function efficiently and effectively, and blocking the airflow can cause the system to work harder, which can lead to reduced efficiency, higher energy bills, and potential damage to the system. Obstructions in front of the unit can also lead to poor air distribution, which can result in uneven temperatures throughout your condo.

To ensure proper airflow and efficient operation, it's important to keep the area around your heat pump unit clear of any obstacles. The recommended minimum distance for clearance in front of the unit is typically 24 to 36 inches, but you should refer to the manufacturer's guidelines for specific clearance requirements for your model.

If you need to place furniture or other items near the unit, make sure to keep them a safe distance away to allow for proper airflow. This will help ensure that your water source heat pump is operating efficiently and effectively, providing you with reliable heating and cooling all year round.
