Abstract: A blower and heat exchanger component of a heat pump, includes physically moveable interface blocks located at the corners. The blocks are relocatable to different corner locations on the unit, to allow a same blower/heat exchanger component to adapt to an existing duct being located on either side (e.g., by installing the component rotated within the installation space as appropriate). Active interface block(s) moveable to different corners afford access to power connection and/or data connections and status display features. Blank blocks occupy the corner locations left vacant by relocation of active blocks to the side of the unit serving as the front for a particular installation. The moveable corner blocks afford access to the unit for power and data connection, and status display, irrespective of orientation as installed relative to an existing ducting layout of a building.

The service panel can slide out on a first side or on a second side opposite to the first side, where an existing air duct connects to a third side that is orthogonal to the first and second sides. This sliding service panel configuration allows a same blower/heat exchanger component to adapt the duct being located on either side of the unit (e.g., by installing the component rotated by 180° within the installation space as appropriate). The service panel can slide out on both sides of the component, thereby affording access for service, irrespective of orientation of the component as installed relative to the duct.

Abstract: An electrical interface selectively places a heat pump and a backup temperature control device in alternative electrical communication with a single power feed, thereby simplifying installation and reducing cost. In particular embodiments, a compressor of the heat pump may be in selective electrical communication with the power feed via a normally closed relay. Removal of a control voltage results in opening of the normal open relay, and closing of a normally closed relay to place the backup temperature control device in selective electrical communication with the power feed. For a ground source heat pump, a ground loop pump may also be in selective electrical communication with the power feed (e.g., via a normally closed relay).
