Installing Split System Air Conditioners: Important Things to Consider

The installation of split system air conditioners is an extremely important job. If the installation is done poorly, your system may not work effectively or efficiently, and will not provide optimal cooling.

The installation of split system air conditioners is an extremely important job. If the installation is done poorly, your system may not work effectively or efficiently, and will not provide optimal cooling. On the other hand, if the system is installed correctly, your unit will work correctly, and it will last for a long time. Here, GJ Bradding will break down some main things to consider when installing a split system air conditioner. We will also explain how we can help, with the most trusted air conditioning installation Geelong and Ballarat have to offer.

Split Systems Ballarat: Is Your Wall Strong Enough?

The indoor unit of a split system is large and heavy. It is therefore important to make sure your wall has the strength to hold up the unit.

Air Conditioning Ballarat: Correct Spacing Between Wall and AC Unit

The indoor unit of your split system requires there to be at least 15 cm of space between the top and side of the unit, and the wall. This is to ensure proper airflow, to maximise performance.

Correct Height

Your indoor unit should be installed at least 7-8 feet above the ground to get optimal cooling. Most AC units blow air in a downward direction. If the unit is installed too low, the air flow will be off, and you will not get proper cooling.

Heating and Cooling Ballarat: Correct Outdoor Unit Location

The outdoor unit should be placed in an open area, so that there is no hindrance to the heat dissipated from the condenser. It should also be placed away from direct sunlight and rainfall.

Proper Placement of Outdoor Unit

The outdoor unit should be placed on a flat, rigid surface. If it is not on a flat surface, it may vibrate excessively, which could damage the condenser. Furthermore, the distance between the indoor and outdoor unit should be no more than 15 metres. If the distance is longer than this, the unit will not cool your room as effectively.
