Install a Split System Air Conditioner Safely by using correct mounting, precise refrigerant practices, and compliant electrical work. Quality workmanship prevents leaks, vibration, and premature failures.

1. Mount Units with Correct Clearances

Fix indoor brackets level and use anti‑vibration mounts outside. Maintain manufacturer clearances for airflow and service access.

2. Route and Insulate Line Sets Properly

Keep within length/elevation limits and avoid tight bends. High‑quality insulation prevents sweating and capacity loss.

3. Evacuate, Pressure‑Test, and Charge

Nitrogen pressure test, deep vacuum to target microns, and adjust charge for line length beyond pre‑charge. Proper commissioning safeguards efficiency.

4. Set Up Drainage Correctly

Slope the condensate line and add traps where needed. Test drain flow to prevent internal leaks and odours.

5. Complete Electrical to Code

Install a dedicated circuit with RCBO protection and correct cable sizing. Verify polarity, earthing, and secure terminations.

Pro Tip

Record pressures, vacuum readings, and commissioning photos—documentation streamlines future servicing and warranty support.
