After all, how do you know if an AC contractor telling you is really true? As far as a buyer is concerned, new cooling equipment is a major investment. It is important to be properly installed to get optimum comfort and energy efficiency. You should have some basic knowledge on the installation part, so you can discuss any incorrect movements on the installation part with the HVAC provider. Also ensures that HVAC provider follows the best practices.
The unit size is important
Selecting the right size equipment is critical. Oversized or undersized equipment will do more harm than good. The undersized unit just won’t keep the room cool enough, where an oversized unit can affect you in terms of cooling ability, humidity control and even the lifespan of it. Installing an AC that is oversized may lead to short-cycling that doesn’t give your AC enough time to cool properly. Repeated on-off cycling add more wear on components resulting in the longevity. To properly size the unit, an experienced HVAC provider should measure the required capacity of the room/space in your home or building before picking the unit.
Inspecting ductwork
Having the existing duct properly inspected is also crucial. As part of the installation process, the existing duct system should be assessed and any deficiencies are addressed. This is being done to prevent any energy loss of new equipment. The contractor should ensure that any damaged areas are fixed, all joints of the duct are properly sealed with mastic or with high-grade insulation.
Confirming correct airflow Rates
Once the new air conditioning unit is installed, the HVAC contractor will verify the rate of airflow through the system. They check the airflow is within the range mentioned by the manufacturer of the unit. If the appropriate adjustments are not made and airflow across the coil is not enough, it affects the heat transfer. This not only limits the new unit’s cooling capacity, but it can also affect the system components gradually.
Examining the refrigerant Levels
Charging the unit with the right amount of refrigerant is another crucial step in a successful installation of AC. If it happens that your provider hasn’t followed the manufacturer instructions and your system has little refrigerant or too little refrigerant, it put extra pressure on the cooling system. With the wrong refrigerant levels, you will find it more difficult to stay comfortable and pay unnecessarily high utility bills as well. As mentioned, experienced HVAC professionals make the difference to your AC buying. HVAC providers like Advanced Services in Kuwait help you choose the right system to your heating and cooling needs.
