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 .
