Successfully installing your heat pump or air conditioner base!

How to choose the right base for your heat pump or air conditioning unit?

Installing a heat pump (HP) or air conditioner doesn't stop at the electrical connection. Choosing the right support for the outdoor unit is crucial to ensure the longevity of your equipment and the comfort of your neighbors.

Why is the support so important?

  • Protection: Elevating the unit prevents damage caused by ground moisture, snow, or debris.
  • Stability: A perfectly flat base prevents stress on the refrigeration lines.
  • Silence: A good base absorbs vibrations, preventing the compressor's noise from spreading through the ground.

Solution 1: The cellular concrete slab (The Pro option)

This is the preferred solution for its speed. Unlike traditional concrete, the ultra-light cellular concrete slab can be installed by a single person without significant lifting effort.

It is rot-proof, frost-resistant, and offers a clean, professional finish immediately.

Solution 2: Rubber anti-vibration bases

If you already have a hard surface (terrace, existing slab), anti-vibration bases are essential. Made from recycled rubber, they elevate the unit while acting as giant silent blocks.

  • Installation in 5 minutes.
  • Drastic reduction of noise pollution.
