A split air conditioner installation is a crucial job. The best way to ensure that your AC is installed correctly is by hiring professionals who are qualified. Not only is it important for the durability of your air conditioner, but also for its ability to work efficiently. A correctly installed air conditioner will provide adequate cooling and will last longer. It’s possible to get maintenance or service under warranty.
It is important that you, as a customer, understand the basic aspects of installing an air conditioner.
- Place of Installation
Be sure to measure the exact location of the outdoor and indoor units. The cooling won’t be effective if the unit is installed in an area where the temperatures are too high.
- Wall Strength
Make sure the wall that will house the air conditioner’s indoor unit has enough strength. It should be sturdy enough to withstand vibrations.
- Spacing
Split AC indoor units should have a minimum of 10 to 15 cm of open space on their top and sides. This is vital for proper airflow. The restriction of airflow could make it more difficult for heat to be expelled. This will raise your air conditioner’s operating expenses. The compressor could be damaged.
- Height of Indoor Unit
For maximum cooling in a room that is 10 ft. tall, it’s recommended that the ceiling be at least 7-8 ft. higher than the ground. This will ensure that cool, fresh air flows throughout the room. It also ensures that the cooling air doesn’t get too hot from the roof. This can result in higher electricity bills.
- The Location of the Outdoor Unit
Open space is ideal for outdoor units of split air conditioners. A terrace is a good place. The airflow is free from obstructions in open space. This will give your compressor, condenser, and fan plenty of space to operate at their best. It is important to ensure that the outdoor unit does not come into direct sunlight.
If you do not have access to a terrace, an external space with strong walls that can support the outdoor unit but allow air flow is acceptable.
It is also important that the outdoor unit is on a flat surface. The compressor and condenser are all contained in the outdoor unit. Outdoor units vibrate. Constant vibration, especially during the summer months, which is when the AC is running almost nonstop, can damage the compressor or condenser. A damaged compressor or condenser can cause serious damage. This will increase your costs of service and may cause the unit to need to be replaced.
- Distance between Indoor and Outdoor Units
For the best and most efficient operation of your air conditioner, it’s important to determine the distance between them. The more distant the units are, the better their performance. Enercell air-conditioning experts advise that the units shouldn’t be separated by more than 15 meters.
