Next, your technician will prepare the area for the installation. We’ll remove the existing indoor system and outdoor condenser using proper safety standards to extract the refrigerant.
The installation of the indoor unit includes the evaporator coil, blower, and air filter. This part of the system is usually located in your attic, basement, or crawlspace. The outdoor unit will be installed next, which includes the compressor, condenser, and refrigerant lines. We’ll also ensure that the ground is properly leveled to absorb vibrations, reduce noise, and protect the longevity of your new A/C.
After the units are installed, the technician will connect the refrigerant lines and electrical wiring, then perform a vacuum test to ensure there are no leaks. Finally, the system will be charged with refrigerant and tested to ensure it is operating correctly.
Modern air conditioners use 410A refrigerant instead, and the two can’t be mixed.
Even if both systems use the same refrigerant, mismatched units can lead to other serious problems. Newer components tend to have higher SEER ratings (Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratios), and if both units don’t have the same rating, you can run into issues such as poor efficiency, higher energy bills, faster wear and tear on components, and less effective cooling.
While it may be tempting to try to save money by only replacing one part of a cooling system, you’ll only end up costing yourself more in the long run. The HVAC technicians at Earl’s are more than happy to help you explore your options and find the right fit for your situation and budget!
