ᐅ The heat pump is installed – should painting, wallpapering, etc. be done afterward – yes or no?

Hey,

now that the heat pump has suddenly arrived, how did you manage with painting/wallpapering or whatever? You can’t just move it aside because of all the piping. Did you only work up to it or as far as you could behind it, or did you do that beforehand, or...? With the tiles, it will probably be difficult on two sides as well.

Here is a picture of the situation:

With the wet plaster, the paint finish would not have been of high quality or durable in any case.

I also painted the walls before installation. The ceiling is still only half painted.

Our heat pump was already installed before we painted. No one can see behind it anyway! Effort wasted.

We only painted up to the heat pump.
