Damage (by installers?) on back of brand new heat pump
Posted by: @bob77I was more annoyed that the builders (doing other work, nothing to do with the installation) scratched the top cover of the outdoor unit. I don't know what metal the covers are made out of but I wonder if it might corrode as the scratches go right through the paint in a couple of places.
They will be steel, zinc plated then powder coated. The powder coat will be polyester rather than epoxy, for better UV stability.
