An air conditioning system installed in your home circulates air through the use of supply and return ducts. If you want to have a home that is comfortable even when temperatures outdoors are sizzling, you need an air conditioning system that is adequately installed. Installation of your air conditioning system is critical when you are looking to get efficiency, longevity and safety out of your central air conditioning unit.

But before you go ahead with air conditioning installation, there are some key points that you should consider, including:

1. Space

2. Guidelines

3. Registers

4. Installation quality

5. Charge checking

Let’s take a closer look at these key points.

Adequate Space This is something that is often overlooked by some inferior Air Conditioning Companies. Adequate space for installation and maintenance of your AC unit indoors is incredibly important. An access door should be installed in the duct to allow for cleaning of the evaporator coil. This will ensure that your air conditioning system is functioning at a high level of efficiency for a long period of time. Duct Size Guidelines The size of duct that is required for your air conditioning system is contingent on guidelines that have already been set. It is important that your AC system is installed using duct size methodology that is outlined in the ACCA manual. Checks Registers It is also critical to the installation of your AC system that the number of registers within the home are checked. A sufficient amount of registers are needed to ensure that cool air is delivered and returned back to the air conditioner  properly. Not having enough registers can hinder the operation of your central cooling unit. Installation of Duct Work Another key to remember involves the installation of duct work. All duct work for your air conditioning system should be installed without using the attic space whenever possible. All duct work should also be sealed with duct mastic. Refrigerant Charge Checking Ensuring that the newly installed air conditioning system has the correct amount of refrigerant charge based on manufacturer airflow rates is also essential. The thermostat for the system should also be placed away from heat sources and windows. All of the above keys for air conditioning system installation are extremely important. The ability to cool your home efficiently and safely is dependent upon if these keys are adequately followed during installation.
