Gathering Other Site Information

It is also important to gather other site related information to properly design the system and safely completing the installation work. This information includes:

  • Existing electrical supply, mains, and control wiring and fuel (e.g. natural gas) piping
  • Site hazards (e.g. vermiculite insulation, asbestos, knob and tube wiring)
  • Architectural and space constraints, including but not limited to an assessment of the mechanical room and potential sites for outdoor units
  • Trees and adjacent structures
  • Below grade walls, partitions, and other relevant structures
  • Relevant plans, sketches, and notes

A sample checklist for the job-site survey is provided below.
