How Proper Air Conditioning Installation Makes All the Difference
Every home is different, and size is not the only consideration when choosing an air conditioner.
An air conditioning system is one of the most expensive investments you'll make for a home. A high-quality system has many features and, hopefully, a lengthy guarantee. However, the system's functionality, lifespan, and effectiveness will be negatively affected without proper installation.
Here are a few reasons why proper and professional ac installation makes such a big difference:
Proper assessment means a better fit
Every home is different, and size is not the only consideration when choosing an air conditioner. Other factors include:
The exposed surface area of the walls
The number of windows and other glazing
The insulation and ventilation already present in the house
The amount of light the house receives throughout the day
A professional installer will know all these factors and how best to proceed.
The right tools and training
Professional installers come equipped and trained for the job. Teams carry the necessary licenses and experience to install an air conditioner properly the first time they ask for it. Regardless, it's essential to check the credentials and reputation of any service before using them. Don't be afraid to view their online reviews and ask for their qualifications.
A dedicated service will also be familiar with your area's building codes and requirements. They'll know how to get the job done without incurring fines or being caught up in bureaucratic delays.
Many air conditioner warranties also depend on professional installation. For that reason, a DIY approach may be more costly than you think. To avoid the risk of a voided warranty, hire the experts.
The hazards of the job
Installing an air conditioner can be more dangerous than many realize. Refrigerant is a particularly big risk. Refrigerant is the lifeblood of any functioning air conditioner, and any loss or leak severely limits its effectiveness. A licensed professional will be qualified to check refrigerant levels and know how to handle and dispose of it.
Next up is power. An improperly installed air conditioner may lead to short circuits or even sparking wires in some cases. An air conditioner that doesn't match its circuit may draw too much or too little power, leading to constant trips or a system that does nothing to cool or heat the air.
Consult with the pros
A professional can manage an air conditioner's output, ensuring maximum effectiveness while preventing short circuits. They'll also ensure that all parts are properly connected, meaning less noise, and clean up all debris after completing the project.
Doing the job right the first time will save you from having to do it again later. So speak with the experts.
