We’re getting some heatpumps installed later this week, and planned to have a couple of the outdoor units mounted to the walls due to lack of space.
I suddenly came to the thought of “would they be too loud from inside the house with their humming”, and was wondering if anyones had any experience?
We are getting the Mitsubishi AP series, and the house is 200mm Masonry block on the downstairs, and Brick Veneer on the upstairs (Not too sure which of the two they will be mounted to).
Can’t comment on it being mounted to the wall, but ours can’t be heard outside our brick house. It’s an older Fujitsu, it can actually be pretty loud outside when it’s on high but we don’t hear it over the sound of the indoor unit when it’s that high anyway.
Ahh thats good to hear :) Thank you for that.
We’ve got heatpumps mounted outside the timber frames. Not physically attached to the walls though. In our bedroom, the most obvious for noise intrusion, we do not hear the the outside compressor.
The fact your masonry is solid should mean little or no external noise.

Hmm Good to know in regards to the sound. Wondering if attaching to the actual wall would create a bit of a hum with the vibrations…
It’s tough for me to comment as ours is sat on the deck outside the bedroom. Our house is the typical single stud wall with weatherboard exterior and GIB inside. It does have insulation in the wall plus double glazing. Can’t here the outside unit at all from inside the room when it’s running.
If you’re mounting to the wall, I’d think there’d be rubber mounts etc to reduce any vibrations.
That’s a great point. I’ll flick them an email to see if they’ll be using any type of rubber mounts :)
