I have a 'chappy' coming this week to quote for a high wall mounted heat pump installation.

 

I try to do a bit of homework for such meetings, but what I cannot find out from googling whether

 

a) Both require power or

 

b) Both use one power outlet. If so, which one?

 

Anybody who has a heat pump will instantly know and so would I.

Power usually goes to an isolator switch on the wall beside the outside unit, and into that, then from there some multicore wire to the indoor one. 3 core+earth is the norm, and they make a blue jacketed one for aircon use.

 

For baby ones they will usually take power from a power circuit in the room that they are cooling, for big ones a dedicated feed from the breaker panel.

Most are hardwired back to the board, which has caused plenty of heat pump installers to get pinged over the years for illegal electrical work (which is another story entirely).
