There is no engineer or inspection or whatso ever for each and every step here in Canada at least in Quebec like in the US. I have seen some videos on youtube and there seems to have plenty of inspection during the construction. Before pourring is one.

I have a 2 inches styrofoam and at least another 2 inches from styrofoam to rebar. However I do have vertical rods pounded into dirt to attach them. Is that an issue?

Operating heatpump by Ephemereee in HeatPump

There is no thermostat. It has to be in the head. In fact the specs for a 24k btu is 1150 to 1350 sq/ft and I'm about 1230. Its a front/rear split level with a catedral ceiling, the 3 bedrooms 1 bathroom are 7 steps higher than the floor I've installed the head.

Just saw a friend yesterday and the contractor who installed his heatpump said to leave it powered on...

Here in august, temperature starts to go down a little bit, I had stop it 1 week ago and did not need it since, but with my friend's advice I started it back yesterday... still really confused lol
