By Florence Parks


The tropical climate always subjects people to extreme temperatures, especially in an enclosed setting. In the quest for comfort, many have resorted to air conditioner installation Edwardsville. In as much as this activity is mostly undertaken by professionals, with the relevant tools, a homeowner will see it through. Here are some of the tidbits that can assist during the installation of these units independently.

Installation of heating and cooling units always starts by assembling all necessary tools required. Some include drilling appliances, a utility knife, strappings, and screws. They can conveniently be found in many hardware stores situated in Edwardsville. The majority of people used to independently carrying out home projects are perfectly aware of these tools. Those who do not should simply inquire.

An air conditioner has two units, that is, the indoor and outdoor unit. The latter should be mounted in a section with no direct sunlight. In addition to that, it needs to be three meters higher than the ground level. A mounting plate is first secured using the metal screws. After that, another hole is drilled in a bid to allow passage space for all the pipes that connect both exterior and interior components.

The next thing to be done now involves connection of pipes. Power cables coupled with copper pipes come in play here. They are bound using an electrical tape. Additionally, it is to be determined that it drainage pipe flows appropriately. The connection is then tightened by the use of two wrenches. The subsequent activity now involves securing the indoor unit. This is carried out by pressing it on the mounting plate.

When it comes to the exterior unit, an appropriate location is again selected for installation. It needs to be positioned away from areas prone to dirt and dust. A concrete pad is first laid on the ground, and care needs to be taken to ensure that it is leveled. When connecting the electrical cables, be sure to make reference to the wiring diagram provided. Instructions from the manufacturer need to be treated with high regards in this case.

After a successful connection, air and humidity should be removed from the refrigerant circuit. Its caps are detached and the vacuum pump connected to the service port. An individual should then turn on the vacuum up to around 12mm Hg. This facilitates removal of all contents from the refrigerant circuit. The valve is then tested for leakage before wrapping. However, they are not to be excessively tightened, as this may hamper efficient functionality.

Connecting an outdoor unit to the insulator always requires the intervention of a trained electrician. Additionally, he or she should take maximum care not to plug in the unit to other heavy duty appliances circuit. The reason is that air conditioners tend to consume more power, and such a move may prevent proper functioning of the other appliances.

When an air conditioner is fully installed, a homeowner will enjoy appropriate temperatures in a room. However, frequent maintenance is out of the question. They need cleaning for at least twice a year to maintain the high-efficiency ratio. Refrigerant lines also need to be inspected periodically to intervene, supposing any leakage is suspected.
