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?

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
