How-To: Install A Split AC Effortlessly

 Split AC is a great way to keep your home cool and comfortable. This is easier to install, quieter, and more energy efficient than central AC. For the ductless AC units, the cooling unit is mounted inside while the compressor and condenser are installed outside using an AC outdoor unit fixing bracket. These two units are then connected by piping and power cable. 


This blog highlights ways to install ductless AC units at home.




Set up the indoor unit

Make a hole through the wall to take pipes from the indoor unit to the outside condenser. Mount the unit at least 7 feet above the floor and make sure there are 6-12 inches of open space on either side to let seamless airflow. A point to remember here is to avoid locations where there may be a gas leak or where oil or sulfur exists.


Fix the mounting plate to an inside wall

Decide where you want to fix the unit and mount the plate. Use a level to ensure it is mounted accurately. Mark the screw hole and make the drill to make a hole to fix the plates using tapping screws. 


The center of the mounting plate has a 3-inch hole that can lead the pipe outside to ensure seamless drainage.


Check for internal electrical connections.

Lift the unit's front panel to uncover it. Ensure the cable wires are correctly linked with the screw terminals according to the manual description of the unit.


Place the AC on the mounting plate.

Simply place the AC on the mounting plate. Ensure female connections are placed over male connections, followed by firmly securing the unit. 


Position the outer unit properly.

Position the outer unit within 15 m from the drilled hole to ensure seamless attachments of pipes and cables. If possible, place the unit in a shady area to protect it from direct sun and wind.


Secure the outer unit on the wall.

Fix the outer unit on the wall using AC outdoor unit fixing brackets to hold it securely against it. The process of mounting this unit is similar to the indoor unit. Fix a mounting plate on the wall, over which goes the compressor or condensation unit.


Check the electrical wiring.

Repeat the same process, uncover the condenser and ensure wires are connected as instructed in the manual. Lastly, fasten the cables with clamps and replace the cover. 


Follow up by connecting the piping and cable to the outdoor units. Typically, it contains two copper pipes that connect the interior and exterior unit and one power cable. Finally, connect the power supply to the designated outlet.
