Don’t send an amateur to do a professional’s job. Especially when that job is installing an air conditioning unit. Though it may not seem so complicated at first blush, it is in fact one of the more complex jobs one can perform on your house. You need to turn to a licensed contractor when installing an air conditioning unit, particularly if that unit is a complex unit on its own. Otherwise, you may run into one or more of several complications. So, if you are in need of air conditioning installation in Whitby ON area, here are the top 3 things that can happen if you don’t leave it in the hands of a pro.

Over/undersized system

When installing an air conditioner, you must obey the laws of goldilocks and the 3 bears. Not too small, not too big, just right. And if it isn’t just right, then you’ll be lucky to even get it to fit in the place it’s supposed to go. While this doesn’t necessarily mean physical size, it does mean output and overall power. And while experienced, licensed pros will have a variety of tests they can run to see what kind of unit is best to go where, inexperienced, unlicensed technicians will not. And if that happens, best case scenario, you’ll have to get the whole thing reinstalled all over again.

Refrigerant problems

An air conditioning unit has a set amount of coolant that it uses once throughout its entire service life. When it runs out, then the unit must be replaced. However, that doesn’t mean you can cheat the system and put in a whole lot to make it last longer. A professional knows that only the amount specified by the unit should be put in, and if those delicate limits are tested, then you can end up overcharging the system. Also, the refrigerant gets into the house via refrigerant pipes, which should only ever by 50 feet long. Any longer and the system will experience issues when trying to complete its cycle.

Poor placement

When an AC is placed outside, it should have about 2 ft. of space on all sides so that air can properly circulate for the heat and fan exhaust. If the cabinet is cramped up in a corner somewhere, then the unit will not run as efficiently as it should.
