Air Conditioner Installation

Prior to placing a new device, you must disconnect the existing one from its power and refrigerant connections. Afterward, disposal of the old unit should conform to all appropriate environmental standards. After properly disposing of the old appliance, you will need to prepare the area for your new appliance by leveling or reinforcing the pad for your outdoor unit to ensure its stability and confirming that your electrical system is prepared to support this new appliance.

Following the area prep, you will install the indoor device. Securing it is simply attaching it within its designated area (utility closet/ attic), connecting refrigerant and drain lines, and connecting ducting if ductwork exists. Following indoor installation, the condenser will be installed outside of your home. The official instructions for mounting the condenser on level, stable ground and making sure there is enough space to allow air movement for the equipment must be followed and confirmed in order to enable equipment operating at the best level.

Both Electrical, as well as Refrigeration lines play a significant role in your cooling unit functioning at its optimal level. An electrician will connect these two components while ensuring proper sealing on the refrigerant line to prevent possible leaks during the unit’s operation. Before finishing the installation, the electrician must also perform a comprehensive battery of testing. The electrician will balance every component of the system, calibrate the thermostat and airflow settings, and perform a number of pressure tests to look for refrigerant leaks in total impeding performance of the system throughout the building at its optimal level.
