Gather the Necessary Tools and Materials
Before you begin the installation process, make sure you have all the necessary tools and materials. This may include a ductless air conditioner unit, mounting brackets, refrigerant lines, electrical wiring, a drill, a screwdriver, and a level. It is also important to check the manufacturer's instructions for any additional tools or materials that may be required.
Selecting the Installation Location
The next step is to select the installation location for your ductless air conditioner. Generally, the indoor unit should be mounted on a wall in the room you want to cool. It should be placed at a height that allows for optimal air circulation. The outdoor unit, which houses the condenser and compressor, should be placed outside at a location that allows for proper ventilation and easy access for maintenance. It is important to choose a location that can support the weight of the unit and is near an electrical outlet.
Install the Indoor Unit
To install the indoor unit, start by drilling a hole in the wall for the refrigerant lines and electrical wiring. Make sure to follow the manufacturer's instructions for the correct hole size and placement. Next, mount the indoor unit on the wall using the provided brackets and a level to ensure it is straight. Connect the refrigerant lines and electrical wiring to the unit, following the manufacturer's instructions. Once everything is properly connected, secure the unit in place using screws and make sure it is securely mounted to the wall.
Install the Outdoor Unit
Installing the outdoor unit involves finding a suitable location and mounting it securely. Place the outdoor unit on a flat and stable surface, ensuring that it is level. Connect the refrigerant lines from the indoor unit to the outdoor unit, making sure to follow the manufacturer's instructions for proper connection. Finally, connect the electrical wiring to the outdoor unit. It is recommended to hire a licensed electrician to ensure proper electrical connections and safety.
