Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning

As with other ACs, getting the installation right is crucial to how well and how long you can expect your split-system air conditioning system to serve you. Hiring professionals is always a better option than going at it yourself if you want the best results.

The contractors will take into account several factors when deciding the location of both the indoor and outdoor units of your air conditioning system. Among these factors include the following.

1.  Proper Airflow Around the Units

For the outdoor unit, you want to have it placed in an open place such as the terrace where the air will flow freely over the condenser and the compressor. The same goes for your indoor unit, and that will mean ensuring that there is some distance between the unit and the wall onto which it is mounted. You should also clear away the furniture and anything else that may obstruct the airflow.

Proper airflow will ensure that your air conditioner is operating at optimum efficiency. You can also expect your system to last longer.

2.  A Strong Wall for Indoor Unit Mounting

The wall onto which the indoor unit of your split-system air conditioning system must be strong enough to hold and support that weight. If the wall is not as sturdy, sooner or later, the wall may collapse under the weight of the unit, posing a serious safety problem for everyone.

For the sake of safety and to avoid unnecessary damage to your property, experts do not ever install these indoor units on false or uneven walls.

3.  An Appropriate Distance Between the Indoor and Outdoor Units

Keeping the distance between the two units to as minimal as possible will only increase the efficiency of your split-system air conditioning system. This is because the system's coolant will flow much faster, where there is a shorter distance.

The HVAC contractors will look at the layout of your property and, factoring in this distance, choose where to install both units.

Split-system air conditioning is perfect for homes and businesses of all sizes, located in different regions. If you live in an area that is mainly dry and would like to alleviate dry, itchy skin, itchy eyes, and other such symptoms that may come with the dry air, then consider investing in evaporative cooling units.

As highlighted, installing your split-system air conditioning system the right way ensures it works well and for long. Choosing the right location for the units is as important as the workmanship that goes into the installation.
