Heat pumps can be installed in crawl spaces only if the manufacturer permits this location and if it is very well ventilated. Heat pumps will be pointless in encapsulated crawl spaces. The best and safest locations for heat pumps are well-ventilated and open.<\/strong> <\/p><\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The IRC on Heat Pumps<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>International Residential Code (IRC) applies through the USA and in other areas around the world. The code does have information about heat pumps, but it does not explicitly regulate their use in crawl spaces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Heat pumps are referred to by the IRC in Sections <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/codes.iccsafe.org\/content\/IRC2021P1\/chapter-14-heating-and-cooling-equipment-and-appliances#IRC2021P1_Pt05_Ch14_SecM1403.1\" data-type=\"URL\" data-id=\"https:\/\/codes.iccsafe.org\/content\/IRC2021P1\/chapter-14-heating-and-cooling-equipment-and-appliances#IRC2021P1_Pt05_Ch14_SecM1403.1\" target=\"_blank\">M1403.1<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/codes.iccsafe.org\/content\/IRC2021P1\/chapter-14-heating-and-cooling-equipment-and-appliances#IRC2021P1_Pt05_Ch14_SecM1407.3\">M1407.3<\/a>. Section M1403.1 indicates that heat pumps must be regulated and labeled within the appropriate guidelines. Similarly, M1407.3 states that they must be labeled with the correct specifications to be located within 4 ft of duct heaters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While the IRC does not prohibit the use of heat pumps in crawl spaces, doing so will not be a code violation. However, you&rsquo;ll want to check your state and city codes to see if there are any relevant regulations for this situation on a more local level.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Manufacturer Guidelines Are Important<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If there are also no specific regulations regarding heat pumps in your local codes, your next place to look is the manufacturer&rsquo;s guidelines for the heat pump. Check if the guidelines specifically prohibit or warn against installation in crawl spaces or enclosed spaces. If they mention crawl spaces, you have your answer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Most heat pumps will have at least general instructions for where to install the unit. The installation instructions may list a variety of locations or they may just provide a list of prohibited\/allowed conditions (e.g., do not place the heat pump in direct or full sun).<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image is-style-rounded\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"772\" src=\"https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/User-manual-concept.-People-with-guide-instruction-or-textbooks.-User-reading-guidebook-and-writting-guidance.jpg\" alt=\"User manual concept; People with guide instruction or textbooks; User reading guidebook and writing guidance\" class=\"wp-image-6822\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/User-manual-concept.-People-with-guide-instruction-or-textbooks.-User-reading-guidebook-and-writting-guidance.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/User-manual-concept.-People-with-guide-instruction-or-textbooks.-User-reading-guidebook-and-writting-guidance-300x232.jpg 300w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/User-manual-concept.-People-with-guide-instruction-or-textbooks.-User-reading-guidebook-and-writting-guidance-768x593.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 760px) calc(100vw - 24px), 720px\"><\/noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"772\" src=\"https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/User-manual-concept.-People-with-guide-instruction-or-textbooks.-User-reading-guidebook-and-writting-guidance.jpg.webp\" alt=\"User manual concept; People with guide instruction or textbooks; User reading guidebook and writing guidance\" class=\"wp-image-6822 lazyload\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/User-manual-concept.-People-with-guide-instruction-or-textbooks.-User-reading-guidebook-and-writting-guidance.jpg.webp 1000w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/User-manual-concept.-People-with-guide-instruction-or-textbooks.-User-reading-guidebook-and-writting-guidance-300x232.jpg.webp 300w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/User-manual-concept.-People-with-guide-instruction-or-textbooks.-User-reading-guidebook-and-writting-guidance-768x593.jpg.webp 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 760px) calc(100vw - 24px), 720px\" data-pin-media=\"https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/User-manual-concept.-People-with-guide-instruction-or-textbooks.-User-reading-guidebook-and-writting-guidance.jpg\" id=\"mv-trellis-img-2\" data-trellis-processed=\"1\"><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>Follow these guidelines to the best of your ability, and make sure you are not placing your heat pump in a crawl space if the manufacturer specifically recommends not to.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Some Manufacturers Design Pumps for Crawl Spaces<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Sometimes, it&rsquo;s not about the appliance, it&rsquo;s more about the model. For example, electric heaters and dehumidifiers can be installed and effective in crawl spaces if they are designated as crawl space heaters and dehumidifiers, but a <a href=\"https:\/\/thetibble.com\/can-you-put-regular-dehumidifier-in-crawl-space\/\">regular dehumidifier<\/a> and a <a href=\"https:\/\/thetibble.com\/space-heater-in-crawl-space\/\">regular space heater<\/a> are not going to do well in the same location. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Similarly, certain heat pumps are designed specifically for crawl spaces. While other heat pumps may or may not be applicable for use in this location, you can be assured that these heat pumps are correct for the job.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nordicghp.com\/residential-heat-pumps\/system-selection\/type-of-heat-pump\/\" target=\"_blank\">Horizontal heat pumps<\/a> are designed to be wider and shorter than the traditional tall and slim heat pump. Since there is no difference in the internals of this version, they have essentially just taken the original heat pump and placed it on its side. However, it is essential to ventilate your crawl space well if you are going to install a heat pump there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Arguments for Putting Heat Pump in Crawl Space<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Installing a heat pump into a crawl space can improve the aesthetics of your home and give you more space to do with as you choose.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A heat pump is a large, clunky-looking metal box that is usually painted a dull grey color. It is meant to achieve a purpose rather than look attractive. Generally, the external unit of a heat pump would be installed in your yard somewhere, likely behind your house against the side or back wall.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">\n    <a data-amazonimages=\"\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"MRCOOL - DIY-12-HP-115B25 DIY 12k BTU 22 SEER Ductless Heat Pump Split System 3rd Generation - Energy Star 120v (DIY-12-HP-115B)\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/B083R2XNKD?tag=hvacbuzz-20\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\"><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/m.media-amazon.com\/images\/I\/514AkmtQVJL._SL500_.jpg\" alt=\"MRCOOL - DIY-12-HP-115B25 DIY 12k BTU 22 SEER Ductless Heat Pump Split System 3rd Generation - Energy Star 120v (DIY-12-HP-115B)\" title=\"MRCOOL - DIY-12-HP-115B25 DIY 12k BTU 22 SEER Ductless Heat Pump Split System 3rd Generation - Energy Star 120v (DIY-12-HP-115B)\"><\/noscript><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large aligncenter lazyload\" src=\"https:\/\/m.media-amazon.com\/images\/I\/514AkmtQVJL._SL500_.jpg\" alt=\"MRCOOL - DIY-12-HP-115B25 DIY 12k BTU 22 SEER Ductless Heat Pump Split System 3rd Generation - Energy Star 120v (DIY-12-HP-115B)\" title=\"MRCOOL - DIY-12-HP-115B25 DIY 12k BTU 22 SEER Ductless Heat Pump Split System 3rd Generation - Energy Star 120v (DIY-12-HP-115B)\" data-mvt-skip=\"src\" loading=\"lazy\" data-trellis-processed=\"1\"><\/a>\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Rather than having it take up space in your yard, where everyone can see it, using a crawl space can be an effective way to hide the eyesore.

When it inevitably needs maintenance, as all devices do at some point, its inaccessibility will become a real pain in the butt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There can also be dangers to keeping your heat pump in a crawl space. If a crawl space is not ventilated properly, it can lead to a build-up of radon gas, which raises risks of birth defects and cancer in those exposed to it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Mold is a large concern with having your heat pump in a small crawl space. Since there is so much heat in a small area, the likelihood that mold will gravitate towards the moist and warm environment is high. This mold can cause unhealthy air to pump through your home if things are not ventilated well enough.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Best Locations for Heat Pumps<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The ideal location for a heat pump is well-ventilated and open. Make sure there are no plants growing right next to your heat pump location. Give around a foot and a half of the distance between the heat pump and any plants surrounding it.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image is-style-default\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"950\" height=\"534\" src=\"https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/377_Heating_Can-You-Put-a-Heat-Pump-in-a-Crawl-Space-Best-locations-for-heat-pumps.jpg\" alt=\"Can You Put a Heat Pump in a Crawl Space?; Best locations for heat pumps\" class=\"wp-image-8981\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/377_Heating_Can-You-Put-a-Heat-Pump-in-a-Crawl-Space-Best-locations-for-heat-pumps.jpg 950w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/377_Heating_Can-You-Put-a-Heat-Pump-in-a-Crawl-Space-Best-locations-for-heat-pumps-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/377_Heating_Can-You-Put-a-Heat-Pump-in-a-Crawl-Space-Best-locations-for-heat-pumps-768x432.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 760px) calc(100vw - 24px), 720px\"><\/noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"950\" height=\"534\" src=\"https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/377_Heating_Can-You-Put-a-Heat-Pump-in-a-Crawl-Space-Best-locations-for-heat-pumps.jpg.webp\" alt=\"Can You Put a Heat Pump in a Crawl Space?; Best locations for heat pumps\" class=\"wp-image-8981 lazyload\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/377_Heating_Can-You-Put-a-Heat-Pump-in-a-Crawl-Space-Best-locations-for-heat-pumps.jpg.webp 950w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/377_Heating_Can-You-Put-a-Heat-Pump-in-a-Crawl-Space-Best-locations-for-heat-pumps-300x169.jpg.webp 300w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/377_Heating_Can-You-Put-a-Heat-Pump-in-a-Crawl-Space-Best-locations-for-heat-pumps-768x432.jpg.webp 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 760px) calc(100vw - 24px), 720px\" data-pin-media=\"https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/377_Heating_Can-You-Put-a-Heat-Pump-in-a-Crawl-Space-Best-locations-for-heat-pumps.jpg\" id=\"mv-trellis-img-4\" data-trellis-processed=\"1\"><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>Precautions should be taken to prevent the heat pump from overheating in the summer. If you live in a sunny, hot climate, place your heat pump in the shade so that heat does not <a href=\"https:\/\/thetibble.com\/running-energy-efficient-hvac-system\/\">become a problem causing it to work harder<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Additionally, consider where snow will collect in the winter and try to place the heat pump somewhere where it will not be buried.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you have a pool, you need to make sure to leave some distance between the pool and the heat pump. &nbsp;General guidelines recommend at least 6 ft of space.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>People living in coastal regions must consider the impact of the sea air on their heat pump.
