Info

Before you start your search for AC installation services in Arvada, you should consider important factors that can help in the right installation of your AC. There are a total of 6 factors you need to keep in mind while getting a new AC installed in your home.

1. Wall strength and spacing

The wall where you want to fix the indoor unit should be strong enough to withstand the weight of the AC unit. Also, there should be at least 15 cm of open space available for the AC to provide proper airflow. In other words, there should be nothing that could obstruct the airflow in the close vicinity of the AC.

2. Installation height and angle

Install the indoor unit at 7-8 feet height above the ground to cover a large area. Also, make sure that the unit gets a slight tilt to make it convenient for the condensed water to flow from the drainpipe. And this job is done at the time of fixing aluminum brackets on the wall. Keep this factor in mind while looking for AC installation services in Arvada.

3. Location of the outdoor unit

The ideal location for an outdoor unit is an open space where there is no hindrance to heat dissipated from the outdoor unit. Also, it should be safe from direct sunlight and water. Or you can create a shed over the outdoor unit to keep it safe.

4. Placement of the outdoor unit

Place the condenser on a flat and rigid surface that can provide stability to the important components of the condenser when it works. This unit houses fragile copper pipes. Also, it has a compressor that provides cooling. The outdoor unit vibrates when used but a flat surface can control the vibration considerably. Also, a flat surface will help in getting AC Maintenance Services in Arvada.

5. Distance between indoor and outdoor units

Try keeping the units of your split AC as closely as possible. It is so because the refrigerant that flows in the copper wires of the units loses some cool while flowing from one unit to the other. And the loss of cool is loss of energy. Also, it will exert greater pressure on the unit. The ideal distance between the two units of a split AC is 15 meters. But it could be a little greater depending on the location and position of your home.

6. Maintenance

The next big factor in AC installation is its maintenance. You should keep the AC maintenance services in Arvada in mind while installing a new AC. For example, you should keep both the units at accessible locations so that your AC technician doesn't have any problem in carrying out the routine maintenance work.
