Technical errors when installing an air conditioner

If you decide to install an air conditioner, remember that the efficiency of the equipment, as well as the length of its service life, largely depends on the correct installation work. Of course, it is best to turn to qualified specialists who will do everything competently and technically correctly.

Remember that errors in installing an air conditioner can lead to a number of problems with climate control equipment.

Basic mistakes

Correct installation of air conditioners may depend on performance, technical characteristics and the type of equipment that must be selected for a particular room.

Installation errors:

  • PerformanceSome buyers, trying to save money, choose air conditioners with low power if they have a fairly large room. In this case, the equipment simply cannot cope with such a volume of excess heat and can easily fail.
  • CondensateThe installation of air conditioners should be provided for in every detail, not least of which is the drainage pipe into the sewer system. This must be foreseen in advance. If it is not possible to drain the pipe into the sewer, do not allow it to come into contact with the wall, and coordinate the drainage of water with your neighbors.
  • Repair and redevelopmentIf an air conditioner is already installed in the room, but repair work needs to be done, remember that the equipment does not need to be decorated or masked with plaster or other materials. In the event of a breakdown, you will have to repair not only the equipment, but also the wall. And, if you decide to expand the room, the climate control equipment needs to be replaced with a more powerful one.
  • Air ventErrors in the installation of the air conditioner associated with an uneven surface in the air duct or its lack of tightness will sooner or later cause noise, as well as improper operation of the equipment. Any irregularities, fasteners, protruding areas of materials will cause a whirlwind and turbulence in the air flow, which will result in unpleasant noise.
  • Installation of a split systemOne of the common mistakes in installing an external unit is installation on a glazed balcony. This impairs the supply of air from outside, which means it negatively affects the quality of equipment operation.

But, one of the most important reasons is the installation carried out by self-taught people and people who do not have the appropriate knowledge for professional installation of air conditioners.
