Proper installation and placement of your new ductless air conditioner are essential to achieving the best performance from your new unit. This blog post from the local air conditioning maintenance professionals at Superior Air offers crucial tips for installing and placing a ductless air conditioning system.
What Are Ductless Air Conditioners?
Ductless air conditioners are known for their efficiency due to their ability to target only the zones that require cooling, with minimal energy loss and quiet operation. They are ideal for buildings without existing ducts or adding more cooling capacity to specific rooms.
Installation and Placement Tips
- Size of the Room. When choosing a ductless AC, consider the size of the room where it will be installed and the amount of cooling power required. An experienced air conditioning repair technician can recommend the right size for the unit based on square footage, ceiling height, window glass area calculations, current insulation type(s), and sun exposure/shading considerations.
- Location. Finding the right location for installing your ductless AC is key to its efficiency and performance without putting it under unnecessary strain. Consider factors such as windowsills blocking airflow and cold drafts.
- Sunlight. Proper design is also necessary for the ductless AC’s continuous performance. Outdoor condensers installed near windows or sunny patios can create additional heat gain. Avoid locations close to obstructions like shrubs, which can lead to indirect temperature fluctuations.
- Skills and Expertise of an HVAC Technician. Be sure to hire a professional who can help you choose the right ductless AC for your needs and install it correctly based on your home’s requirements.
