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.
