Where to install the air conditioner?
When choosing a place for an air conditioner, you need to consider not only the aesthetic issue, but also the type of device, whether it is a floor or wall option. The air conditioner installed in the apartment in the wrong place can harm the health of the residents of the apartment, work badly.
How to fix the external air conditioning unit
It is very important to correctly connect the air conditioning in the apartment:
- The wall should be fairly flat and very strong. Otherwise, during operation, the equipment will shake until it falls off with the mount;
- There should not be too much distance between the outdoor and indoor units. The longer the connecting tubes, the harder the air conditioner to perform its function. And the work of installation wizards will cost more;
- It is desirable that the tubes between the blocks bend as little as possible. Any kinks complicate the movement of the refrigerant, giving an additional load on the compressor.
Where you can not mount the indoor unit
Even before the purchase, many people think about where to install floor air conditioning in the apartment. It is important to know where this cannot be done:
- Where air movement is disturbed by any obstacles (behind curtains, behind furniture). To any surface there should be a distance of 70 centimeters or more, and preferably even three meters. Otherwise, the air conditioner may malfunction;
- It is strongly discouraged to hang equipment in such a way that it blows directly on people. During the cooling of the room, the technician gives out air much colder than the general temperature of the room. Being under an ice stream can cause serious illness, including pneumonia. When choosing a place where to install air conditioning in the apartment, the most common questions are the rooms of small areas. Many consumers decide the best place to stay at the foot of the bed. But this is a mistake. It is more expedient to install the device on the contrary above the head. So the air from it will be directed towards the legs, and they are most often covered;
- It is forbidden to mount equipment without using a level. Sooner or later, the air conditioner will begin to “cry” directly to the floor;
- Ten centimeters should recede from the ceiling.
Where to install window air conditioning
The choice of location for installing a window air conditioner is not so great. This is a window opening or a wall if it is not too thick. If the room has a complex configuration, it will be more difficult to cool or heat it using such equipment.
When installing a window air conditioner, it is important to consider the distance to the sleeping or working place - at least two meters.
