Common AC Installation Mistakes To Avoid
While DIY AC installation is never recommended, even some professionals make common mistakes that can compromise your system’s performance. Here are a few to look out for:
- Improper Sizing: Proper sizing is crucial to ensure your AC system cools your space effectively without wasting energy. Oversized or undersized units can lead to uneven cooling and higher energy bills.
- Poor Ductwork Design: The layout and design of your ductwork play a significant role in the overall efficiency of your AC system. Poorly designed ducts can result in hot or cold spots, decreased airflow, and increased energy consumption.
- Incorrect Refrigerant Charge: The refrigerant level in your AC system must be precisely measured during installation. Excessive or insufficient refrigerant can strain your system, increasing energy costs and potential compressor damage.
- Improper Placement Of Outdoor Unit: Your outdoor unit should not be installed in direct sunlight or near any obstructions that could restrict airflow. This leads to decreased efficiency and potential breakdowns.
