Heat Pump Covers

Heat pump hot water systems are bulkier than a standard split system condenser and typically run continuously, drawing in air and expelling cooler exhaust air around the clock. Left exposed on a side of house or carport wall, they are one of the more obvious pieces of equipment on a property.

A well designed cover screens the unit from the street or neighbouring yard, shields it from direct weather, and can reduce the visual clutter around an otherwise tidy exterior, all while keeping the intake and exhaust airflow the unit needs to run efficiently.

Because heat pumps are physically larger than split system condensers, covers typically need 5-6 mm sheet or heavier for adequate rigidity across the span, and where a fully enclosed look is wanted, a light aluminium subframe supporting multiple panels works well.

Generous slotted or louvred openings are essential on both the intake and exhaust faces, and manufacturer clearance distances (check your unit's installation manual, commonly 500 mm to 1 metre on the exhaust side) must be maintained so airflow is never restricted.

Our plastic fabrication team can build a multi-panel enclosure to your measurements, or simply cut individual HDPE, polycarbonate or acrylic panels to size through our pricing calculator for a straightforward DIY cover.
