Home Air Conditioning Gas

Before undergoing any air conditioner installation, it is important that proper planning to where the system will be installed occurs. Split system air conditioning and ducted air conditioning will both need to be installed in specific areas to work effectively all year round. The location of the thermostat and what type of building it is will also influence the installation. Here at Logicool Air we provide professional Air Conditioning Installation services and will install the system in the optimal place for you and your family!

An important part of an air conditioner installation is where the system will be located on your property

• Split system air conditioner – middle of the room for balanced airflow

• Ducted air conditioner – the outdoor unit should be installed in shade with proper ventilation.

• Apartments – balconies and sharing walls with people can influence where the split system can be installed.

• Residential homes – indoor and outdoor units should be away from fire or electrical hazards and be easy to access.

Where Do I Install My Split System Air Con?

Split system air conditioners are reliable systems that will help cool or heat one room effectively. They are very popular within 1 and 2 bedroom apartments, granny flats and small houses with Sydney. It is important that a split system air conditioning unit is installed in the correct spot to effectively operate. Regular and reverse cycle split systems should be installed so the air flows towards the centre of the room. This will allow for the airflow to be balanced across the whole room and for the system to work more efficiently. 

Other specific considerations when installing the split system are:

• Bedroom – the bedroom is a popular place for a split system to be installed so the location of the system is vital. he aircon should be positioned on the wall with the bedhead or on the side of the bed. In our professional opinion, the best place to install a split system is directly above your bed.
• Living room – You should position your air con in your living room where you think air will flow best to where  where people sit. Examples of these seating areas include your dining table and couch areas.

Height – it is encouraged that when installing the split system into any room that it is positioned higher on the wall. This positioning will help cool the room more effectively as cool air will naturally sink. 

Where Should I Install My Ducted Air Conditioner?

The ducted air conditioner contains the main ducts and vents along with the outdoor unit. This outdoor unit needs to be installed in the correct place for it to function properly and remains healthy. Ducted air conditioning is typically installed in larger residential houses and properties which need multiple rooms to be cooled simultaneously. To ensure the ducted unit is cost-effective and operates smoothly, it is important to consider these factors before installing:

• Shade – it is extremely important that the outdoor unit does not receive a large amount of direct sunlight. This will cause the system to heat up more which can impact its longevity and how efficiently it works. The cooler the area is the better it is for the outdoor unit to safely and effectively run throughout the seasons.
• Ventilation – the outdoor unit needs enough space and ventilation to properly filter its heat and any debris. Any plants, vegetation, objects or debris close to or covering the outdoor unit will drastically affect its performance. The location should also be outside and for the aircon to properly ventilate.
• Safety – it is important that the outdoor unit is safe from being corroded or damaged. The location should be clear of possible dangers to ensure the unit does not break and need repairs or replacing.

What are Some Considerations With Where to Install the Air Conditioner?

There are many factors that are important to consider when undergoing air conditioner installation and we highly recommend that you follow these simple tips and tricks:

• Apartments – when living in an apartment there are many different factors which will determine if a system can or cannot be installed. From sharing a wall with a person to if the place has a balcony will influence if the system is allowed to be installed. You should always consult your local ac technician before undergoing any installations
• Fire resistance – at times an air conditioner installed on a wall can lower its fire resistance. This is an important factor to consider to ensure that the space does not become a fire hazard from the aircon.
• Electrical hazard – the aircon should never be on top of electrical appliances or systems. This is because if there is an aircon leak it could potentially make contact with them which is never safe.
• Structural integrity – when an air conditioning system is installed on the wall then the wall will lose some of its strength. This means that the system should not be installed on weaker structures.
• Cleaning – it is important to consider how easy it will be to clean both the indoor and outdoor unit. When cleaning the system and changing the filters it will be easier if the system is in reach and not too high or blocked by obstacles. We highly recommend that you seek the services of a professional air con tradesmen before undergoing any DIY air con cleaning. 

Where Should the Thermostat Be Located?

The thermostat of the air conditioner should be located in the centre of the home. It is important that it is out of direct sunlight, in places that become warm, such as the kitchen, or near vents and other airways. The thermostat should be where people are often or can easily access it.
