Things To Note During An Aircon Install- An Overview


When you purchase a new air conditioner its important that you want to test its functionalities after an install. However, for the appliance to work just fine its crucial that it be installed properly. After spending a huge sum of money on a 5-star rated ac, you can possibly expect it to function less. This however could result from poor installation. To avoid such likelihood, it’s important that you take care of some key aspects as discussed here: 

Selecting the perfect location for install 

Since most consumers lack knowledge about aircon install, its understandable for them to suggest wrong positions for the install. If this is the first time you are going to have an ac install at your home, its crucial you locate the ideal position for the prized appliance. As for a window ac you will need placing it above the window for allowing the cooler air to settle downwards. 

For a split ac the location is preferably a shady place for the outdoor unit so that sunlight doesn’t have a direct impact on it. Meanwhile the indoor unit must be carefully placed somewhere on a wall which has strength. However, there should be a minimum recommended gap between the indoor and the outdoor units to prompt the condenser fan motor to function well. 

Checking the measurements 

After the install completes find out if the professional has completed the input voltage. Find out if the unit has drawn current while the compressor is running. Find out the temperature right at the system’s suction side and its outflow side. 

Ac maintenance 

Air conditioners require maintenance at regular intervals. Especially it needs cleaning and checking for the volume of current it draws and to find out if it has the right gas pressure. Poor maintenance can lead to lack of functioning. 

Gas leakage 

Another very important thing to note is gas leakage. Even though this might not be needed after a fresh install, but still owners need to be wary of gas leakage which can turn out harmful. Generally, it takes at least 5-6 years for the rubber parts securing the gas unit, to get impacted but in case if they deteriorate you can suddenly witness vibrations which could be leading way for leakage. 

Insulation 

Amidst all these you must not forget to look into the insulation of the connecting pipes. They must be well maintained because problems with insulation cause reduced cooling and high consumption of energy. 

When you purchase an air conditioner it is equally important to take care of the appliance and being careful of the aspects as mentioned here.
