Best AC for Your Property
DIY AC installation? So you’re not having the installation done, because you’re too busy planning a European road trip and want to feel more independent while traveling? You’re not alone in that, who wouldn’t want more control over the situation they’re living in and the experience they have living in it. But really, the process of DIY AC installation can be quite simple and straightforward, it’s just the small things that you need to think about, the air conditioning installation. Here are a few simple tips you can use.
Pressure Test
Before you start the installation, you should always do a safety check of the air pressure in your HVAC. You can easily do a pressure check by turning on your AC, waiting for it to completely warm up, opening the AC, and feeling if the air is cool or not. The moment the air feels cool, the system is not yet pressurized. If the air pressure has been going down, it means that you have a leak. So your first check is pressure. Make sure that the air in your air conditioning is at the right pressure and that nothing is leaking. Air pressure is usually in pounds per square inch, fps. If you’re not sure what it is, then consult a technician.
Maintenance Schedule
A common mistake by most homeowners is not setting up an effective maintenance schedule. So if you do plan on DIY AC installation, then consider something that you can do on a regular basis. You should set up maintenance of your AC, but it should never be done on an emergency basis, the same should be said if you are low on air or out of coolant.
