Heat pump, manifolds & final fit-out: the heart of the system is visible

The actual plant — often the heat pump — is standing and the manifolds are connected. This is a typical milestone for stage payments and for later control. Document the plant room and final fit-out before enclosures and commissioning make everything harder to see.

The most expensive defects in plant, manifolds and final fit-out

Missing nameplates or incomplete connections

Missing nameplates, messy connections or an unclear layout make maintenance, warranty and later upgrades harder.

Missing or wrong heating-circuit labels

If it is not documented which loop serves which room, the system cannot be set sensibly later.

Leaking joints on manifold or plant

Drips and lime marks show early — in closed cabinets or behind cladding they are missed for a long time.

Supply and extract valves not checked

Valves without assignment to supply or extract, forgotten rooms or leaky joints only show up in operation — as draughts or odours.

What to document and check now on heat pump, manifolds and final fit-out

  1. Plant room and heat pump as overview

    Photograph the plant room as an overview, the nameplate of the plant and all visible connections.

  2. Photograph open manifold with labels

    Open the manifold cabinet and photograph heating circuits and valves close enough to read the labels.

  3. Ventilation valves room by room

    Photograph each valve and note the room name. Document missing covers or damage immediately.

  4. Request balancing and commissioning documents

    Request the protocol for hydraulic balancing (setting the water volumes) and for commissioning. Without these documents, the basis for adjustments is missing.
