ᐅ Heat pump on a pedestal or installed directly on the floor?

Hey,

the general contractor provides an aluminum base for the heat pump. However, the responsible plumbing subcontractor doesn't like the base because the heat pump would wobble on it. The alternative is to place the heat pump directly on the tiled floor.

Are there any opinions on this? The heat pump is a Rotex HPSU Compact Ultra.

Thanks!

There are many ways to decouple.
By the way, you could also connect rigidly on a minimal surface – in other words, place it on “spikes.” This way, no structure-borne noise is transmitted either.
