HOW TO INSTALL AN AC UNIT

• Cut an opening in the side of the supply plenum: The supply plenum is located at the top of the furnace. The opening is made in order to mount the evaporator coil inside.
• Install line set: The line set is made up of two refrigerant line sets that connect the condensing lines to the evaporator coil.
• Prepare high voltage connections: An electrical connection must be made between the electric circuit panel in your home and the air condensing unit outdoors. You can prepare the wiring for hookup, but a skilled contractor is required to install the high and low voltage wiring as a precaution.
• Install a drainage tube: Use a drain connector tube in order to hook up your draining tube to the evaporator coil. This will allow water that hardens to empty into a floor drain.
• Keep it simple: Do what you are fully capable of doing without risk of making any mistakes that could damage your AC or your home. If there’ s anything that you can’ t do, allowing a contractor to handle the rest makes the most sense.
• Have a contractor take a look at it: A contractor should be the first person to look over the work to make sure the installation has gone well.
