SBMS Posted May 10, 2022 Share Posted May 10, 2022 Hi all Just looking at where we can position our Nibe F2040-12 Heat pump for our build. We have a side path down the side of the house which s about 2m wide and has our gable wall one side and the neighbours fence the other side. At first I thought this would be a good place to put it, but reading the installer page, Nibe seems to recommend 150mm rear clearance (fine) and then states "Clearance in front of F2040 should be at least one metre" but then in the diagram shows free space in front of 3000mm (see page 8 of https://www.nibe.eu/assets/documents/16900/231844-5.pdf). 1m would be fine (150mm rear + 400mm deep unit = 1450mm clearance on our side path) but not 3m. Anyone got an idea what the recommendation is? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At our last house our neighbour had a Nibe ASHP installed next to his side wall which was around 2m away from our fence. It meant that there was around 1m to 1.5m clearance between the front of the ASHP and the fence. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReedRichards Posted May 11, 2022 Share Posted May 11, 2022 Anything less than 1 m from your boundary and the heat pump is no longer a permitted development and Planning Permission would be required. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
