Avoid These AC Installation Mistakes!
Thinking about doing an air conditioning installation yourself? If so, you should be aware that it’s more complicated than it appears. But how difficult might you be wondering? The best way to respond to that query is to review the numerous errors that can be made when installing an air conditioner. Here are four common AC installation mistakes:
Wrong AC Size
The most common AC installation mistake is choosing an AC unit that is the wrong size. You risk seriously reducing energy efficiency and even short cycling by doing this. Ensure the air conditioning unit you select is both big enough for your house and not too big.
Incorrect Thermostat Position
Although you may not know it, thermostat placement must be considered. If improperly placed, temperatures may fluctuate, and air conditioners may not work correctly. Furthermore, keep your thermostat away from windows and doors. Your air conditioner may overheat or undercool the room due to wind drafts. Once more, this would result in misreadings of the temperature.
Incorrect AC Position
Similar to how the thermostat can be set incorrectly, the AC unit can also. The functionality and energy efficiency of the AC unit will be impacted by its placement. Where do you put it, then? It should be in a spot with light shade and little direct sunlight. For precisely this reason, many AC condensers are placed beneath the awnings of the corresponding homes.
Not Checking For Leaks
The lifeblood of the AC system is the refrigerant. As a result, the AC wouldn’t function properly if the refrigerant leaked out. Sadly, there are times when AC installations can be a little messy. And frequently, this can lead to small leaks and punctures. As a result, you must examine your system for leaks after installation.
