Heat pump documentation

When a ground source heat pump is installed, it should come with a number of documents. Many of the heat pumps we have carried out status checks on over the years have had inadequate or completely missing technical documentation.

The consequence of a lack of documentation is that troubleshooting takes much longer and is of course more expensive. Here is a list of documents that should be available when the installation is complete.

1. notification. A ground source heat pump installation must be notified to the municipality. It is the property owner's responsibility to do this, but many installers usually help with the application.

2. Start-up protocol. This protocol states, among other things, which settings the heat pump started with.

3. Test pressure and well protocol. This document should state the number of boreholes, their depth, that they have been adjusted and that the collector hose has been pressurised.

4. technical manual. It is useful for troubleshooting, for example to see what the error codes mean.

5. user instructions. By receiving both verbal and written instructions, you will know how to operate the equipment.

6. refrigerant. The heat pump must be labelled with the type and quantity of refrigerant. There should also be instructions on what to do if a person has got refrigerant on their skin or has inhaled refrigerant gases!

7. refrigerant liquid. The type, quantity and concentration of the liquid must be labelled. Remember to check that the antifreeze is set correctly!
