STOP! Before continuing with the installation of your new Aerona Heat pump, please spend a few minutes confirming the suitability of the Heat Pump to your system. Failure to do so may result in poor performance and wasted time. Has a heat loss calculation been carried out? Is this system designed for Mono or Bivalent If Mono, total heating capacity? If Bivalent, what is the load capacity of Heat Pump?
