Dear Steve,

Thank you for your enquiry, hopefully you will find your answers below:_

1. What size of hole is needed through the wall

80mm diameter, however there is a 90mm optional sleeve provided, so if you prefer to use that then the hole must be 90mm diameter.

2. What output temperature range will does it cover when cooling.

The lowest cooling set point is 18 degrees C, the unit will operate in ambient outdoor temperatures up to 55 degrees C

3. Where can you get the cowling to run the outside pipes in.

Trunking can be bought from electrical wholesalers such as C.E.F or a refrigeration wholesaler such as Wolsey Group or SRW. However a good online source of trunking we have found at www.bes.co.uk or http://www.bes.co.uk/nav_graf/frames_cat.html

4. Does it control to a set point.

Yes it does, the DC Inverter is to within 1-2 degrees from the set point set by the remote controller (conservatories can be different due to increased solar gain). This applies to the heating mode as well as cooling mode.

5. What is the bit with 5% VAT about, does this means price is £609 + 5%.

Unfortunately not, the government has stated that air-to-air source heat pumps are classified for the lower VAT rate due to the energy efficiency. However they have applied the rule that it must be installed by an air conditioning company as well as supplied to be applicable. Self install or diy, means we as an air conditioning company are not installing the system, and as such normal VAT rate applies (17.5%). More about the reduced rate of VAT can be seen on the www.hmrc.gov.uk website or under this link Here.

I hope this has answered your queries, however should you require further assistance, please do not hesitate to contact our sales team.

Best Regards

Dear Steve,

Thank you for your enquiry, hopefully you will find your answers below:

1. Where are the hose connections on both of the units,i.e left, right, central, I need to know to ensure the hoses will reach where I am planning to sight the external unit.

As it comes in the packaging the unit has the pipework pointing to the left hand side of the unit. So in effect the pipework is running behind the cack of the indoor unit to exit let from the internal unit when sited on the wall. This can be easily altered to have the pipework exit either directly through the back of the unit (bottom right hand side)or out of the right hand side (180 degree turn from facing left), or out of the bottom right hand corner of the indoor unit and run downwards.

On the outside condensing unit the pipework connections are on the right hand side of the unit. So if the condensing unit is in position the pipework attaches to the right hand side of the unit.

2. I am intending to site the external unit at the front of the house but the hoses will be coming from the gable end, will the hoses happily bend around the corner of the house and what size trunking would you recommend.

When bending the pipes it is very important to avoid kinks or damaging the pipework as it comes precharged with refrigerant. The lines are flexible with care with the larger pipe being braided hose and the smaller pipe being 1/4″ copper soft annealed, so it is possible to make 90 degree bends, but long radius is the best option.

As for trunking I would suggest the dedo trunking from CEF at 4″ by 2″ but this is very expensive, or alternatively you can use the trunking supplied from bes, www.bes.co.uk

Hope this helps you.

Best Regards
