ᐅ The heating system does not fit into the utility room as planned.

Hello,
after several frustrations with the way our site manager has been handling things, we experienced another major issue over the weekend.
Our heating system was installed.
Unfortunately, its dimensions do not match the planned measurements. As a result, the heater now partially blocks the window, and the window cannot be fully opened.
According to the plan, the heater was supposed to be positioned to allow enough space by the window.
The site manager prepared the plan and the specifications and presented them to us for signature. We then commissioned the heating system.
Now it turns out that it does not fit as expected.
The site manager claims that his drawing was only schematic.
That alone is quite frustrating.
It remains to be determined to what extent this is a planning error.
Is this something one has to accept? The actual dimensions deviate from those in the plan.
My main question now is: if we have to accept it as it is, we will need to minimize the damage:
The heater is placed in the rear right corner, angled in front of the window, about 70 cm (28 inches) from the exterior wall. Next to the heater, in the direction of the window, an expansion vessel and a filling station for the external unit are installed.
If these could be relocated to a different position, it might be possible—if at all feasible—to rotate the heater and place it directly against the exterior wall. (Theoretically, there is enough space. The heater is 70 cm (28 inches) wide, and the space is 80 cm (31 inches).
Is this even possible? Can the expansion vessel and filling station be relocated?
Thank you in advance for any advice.
Best regards, Franzi

Well, a tilted heater really isn’t the solution.Why do you say that? Functionality is the priority. What good is it if the heater is moved and the technician can't access it in an emergency?
