Installing the Air Conditioner With Your Hands

Today, imagine our life without air conditioning is simply impossible. They not only maintain the air in the room at a certain temperature, but also clean it, and therefore are a necessary subject of household appliances, not only in the workplace, but also in the home.

The first window air conditioner, which operated on a human safe for a freon, appeared as far back as 1931 and only worked to cool the air. However, at that time in our country air conditioners were considered an inadmissible luxury and propaganda of the bourgeois way of life.

Indeed, abroad, air conditioners have spread long ago. In the 60s, air conditioners began to be produced there, which could not only create a pleasant coolness in the room, but also heat it. And when finally in the 70s the production of air conditioners began in Russia, most of them went for export.

It's hard to say whether the installation of an air-conditioner abroad is done by our own hands or not, it is important that now these devices are increasingly entering our life, especially in the context of large megacities. For example, in 2010 in Moscow because of the abnormal heat it was impossible to buy air conditioning freely, and those who managed to purchase this unit had to wait three weeks before installing it. Therefore, for many, the installation of an air conditioner by their own hands became simply a necessity.

Air conditioners come in three types: household, industrial and semi-production. Therefore, before installing the air conditioner, you need to study the existing models and choose the most suitable. Of household air conditioners, the simplest model is a monoblock window or window. The positive characteristics of this unit include affordable price and reliability. And you can save money on the installation, as it is correct to install the air conditioner, which is a primitive monoblock box, it is clear to every handy peasant.

To install it, you do not need any special skills or special tools. But it's bad that the candy bar blocks part of the window. In addition, that window monoblocks worsen the illumination of the room, they have a number of other drawbacks. Due to the fact that the processor is located at all monoblocks inside, then in the room during operation of the air conditioner there is an increased noise level. The second drawback of such air conditioners is that they can not be blocked by curtains, otherwise they will condition the air between the curtains and the window, and not in the room. A certain problem is created by the decorative grilles installed on the windows.

All over the world, the most popular type of climate equipment are the so-called split systems, which consist of two units. Install such a system is not so simple as installing a window-type air conditioner, since the individual parts must be properly connected.

Therefore, the installation of an air conditioner by their own hands of this type is certainly possible, but is associated with a certain risk, since the consequences may be different. If you do not install correctly at best, you will have to redo everything, and at worst - expensive equipment can simply fail. In both cases, installing the air conditioner by yourself will not save your money, but on the contrary - increase the money costs.

The difference between split systems is that the noisy part - the compressor, is taken out to the street, and the second part is placed indoors in any convenient place, and not tied to the window. The unit can be installed on a wall or floor, or even completely on the ceiling. You can even hide it behind a false ceiling.

By the principle of installation of the split-system are different for floor-ceiling, wall, as well as channel and cassette. Externally, the blocks of all these systems have the same appearance, so if you decide to perform the installation yourself, before you install the air conditioner, carefully read the instructions.
