Notes before installing the air conditioner
Are you preparing to install an air conditioner for your home? Is there anything to pay attention to to make the construction process "smooth" and the equipment to work effectively and safely? Please refer to the article below to have your own great considerations!
What should be noted before installing the air conditioner?
In order for your air conditioner to operate safely and effectively, you also need to consider a few things! To see what should be noted before installing the air conditioner in the house here.
Installation location
In the process of building a house, it is better to "calculate" the location for the hot and cold unit. the path of the air conditioning system first! Because without this preparation, you may have many difficulties when installing the air conditioner later! The air conditioner will not be able to operate at its most efficient and you may also spend extra money to "peel the wall" to use the house or relocate. Therefore, prepare a slot in advance for the air conditioner even if you do not intend to install it during construction! It will ensure the best performance of the machine and also have a higher “aesthetic”!
Where is the indoor unit installed?
The indoor unit should be installed at least 30 cm from the ceiling, 2.8 - 3m from the ground. The indoor unit should be installed in a place where the wind can blow throughout the room, facing the slope to the outside. Thus, it will help your house avoid refluxing into the house on heavy rainy days! If your house has been built as a tile house, install a ceiling system or stretch canvas to cover the ceiling! This will save you a lot of money and electricity! Because under the tile, the cold will be lost to the outside quite a lot and it forces the air conditioner to operate continuously. What to do if your house is facing the West direction? Remember to place the indoor unit as far away from the door as possible and you should also take measures to cool the windows and main doors. Let's join hands to save energy and avoid waste, right? Closed space will help the air conditioner work effectively, but too tight is another story. You should install more electric fans: swing fans, exhaust fans, etc. to help air circulate better.
Where is the location of the heater?
You know, the heater will be located outside the air-conditioned space, in the outdoor area. Therefore, choose shady locations to avoid damage from the outside! The heater must not be installed where there is an obstacle in front of it, not to the neighbor's house. Because this is a hot block, keep it in an airtight place, otherwise it will get hotter and hotter for the whole area! The heater is located outdoors, so the risk of "mistakes" is also higher, so it is better to install the heater in an open place to facilitate repair, right? The Japanese often use heat-resistant silver sheets or as an insulating frame for the heater, it will help people save 5-10% of their electricity bill!
Where is the drainage line?
This is something a lot of people "forget". This drain is responsible for bringing water that has been condensed and liquefied during the operation of the air conditioner to the outside. If it is not calculated in advance, it can cause difficulties in handling the drainage in a closed room, where the drainage area is too far away.
