3.INSTALLATION AND CONNECTION
BBarrier:
A fence or barrier can reduce the level of the Heat Pump’s noise heard in neighbouring premises. To do this, the barrier or
fence needs to be continuous with few or no gaps and go down to ground level. It must also prevent the Heat Pump from being seen
from noise sensitive locations on neighbouring premises. Noise sensitive locations include bedroom and living room windows (including
second storey dwellings) and outdoor entertaining/relaxing areas
.
