Plan the cold-weather role of each system
Before adding a heat pump to a Greene property, decide whether it is intended for one space, summer cooling, supplemental heat, or a whole-building project. The answer affects indoor-unit layout, controls, and the role of a retained furnace or boiler during cold weather.
Placement needs year-round access
An outdoor unit needs manufacturer-required airflow and a location that remains serviceable. Consider snow, roof runoff, drainage, and access without enclosing the unit or reducing its clearances. For existing equipment, describe where ice appears and how performance changed rather than assuming every winter issue has the same cause.
