Having the right air conditioning system in your home is crucial for staying comfortable. However, the only way you can enjoy the benefits of your cooling system is if it’s installed correctly. That way, you can prevent inconvenient breakdowns and ensure that the system works at peak efficiency. Here are some things you should know about AC installation.
What Steps Involved in AC System Installation?
Here are several key steps you can expect when you hire an HVAC technician to handle the installation:
HVAC sizing: HVAC sizing ensures that your system is measured correctly so that the right size is installed to meet the cooling demands of your home. When determining the size of an AC system, factors such as the size of your home, window location, and home insulation are considered. The HVAC contractor will assess your home and help you choose the proper AC placement.
Mounting the inside brackets: Depending on your home set-up, professional installers will first install the brackets to the interior walls of your home. This is what will be used later to mount your air conditioning unit.
Running wires and piping: Running the piping and wiring through the newly drilled holed is crucial. The bundles of wires need to be tied together safely with high-quality electrical tape. It also needs to be covered with PVC tubes to ensure added safety.
Connecting the AC Units: Once the AC unit is mounted, the pipes and wiring are connected between the indoor and outdoor units. Your contractor will run the wiring and tubing through the drilled holes and give the system a test run.
What Are the Most Important Components of a New System?
Before you get a central air conditioner installed, there are some important elements you should consider to ensure maximum efficiency. Such components include:
The refrigerant: This is what makes air conditioning possible. The refrigerant is a chemical compound that changes from liquid to gas at relatively low temperatures and pulls heat out of the air around it.
Thermostat: These are temperature-sensitive devices that signal the AC to either start or stop regulating the air. Some of the modern programmable thermostats offer advanced features that enable automatic temperature changeover.
Air Filter: The primary duty of an air filter is to protect other HVAC components from accumulating dirt. A dirty air conditioner loses its cooling efficiency and might ice over if left for long. Also, filters will help keep the motor and fan clean and prevent failure in the future. Some of the common types of filters include pleated filters and HEPA filters.
