How To Install A Split System Air Conditioner?

Split system air conditioners are one of the most popular types of air conditioners in Brisbane and for good reason. They are versatile, cost-effective and cool more than one room quickly and efficiently.

It may be tempting to install your split system AC unit yourself but it is always best to leave it to the professionals. Air conditioners require handling electrical wiring and pipes and if you are inexperienced, it can make the process incredibly dangerous and put you in life-threatening situations.

At AP Air Conditioning, our team prioritises your safety and ensures that your new split-system air conditioner is working effectively.

Installing a split system air conditioning unit is complex and involves several steps depending on your home.

Installation Steps For Split System Air Conditioning

Step #1: Preparing the Indoor Unit

The first step in installing your new split system air conditioner is deciding where to put it. Split system air conditioners are usually installed in living rooms or downstairs areas and are mounted high up on an exterior wall for the most efficient airflow and installation.

Once you have picked a location, our team of qualified HVAC technicians will attach mounting brackets to the wall.

Step #2: Drill and run pipes and wires through your exterior wall

Split system air conditioners are made up of two main components - an indoor unit and an outdoor unit. Our HVAC technicians will drill holes into the wall to feed wires and pipes through to connect the two units.

Step #3: Mounting the Indoor Unit

Now the refrigerator pipes and wires are in place, the indoor unit can now be installed. Our HVAC specialists make precise measurements to ensure the space is appropriate for the unit and install it quickly and efficiently.

Step #4: Install the Outdoor Unit

Your outdoor unit should be installed on a strong, sturdy wall. For easy installation, the wall should be the same wall that the indoor unit is installed into. To make sure it lasts well into the future, avoid installing it in direct sunlight but far away from trees and other vegetation so nothing gets caught in the unit.

The outdoor unit can be either installed on the ground or wall-mounted. It all depends on the layout of your home.

Step #5: Connecting the Refrigerant Pipes and Lines

With the outdoor unit successfully in place, our HVAC technicians get to work connecting it to the indoor unit, via a series of refrigeration pipes and wires. These pipes are used to move the fresh cooled air into your home as well as catch any condensation that could accumulate within your system.

Step #6: Testing Your Split System Air Conditioning

Once we have finished installing your split system, we make sure to thoroughly test it to make sure it is working properly.
