Why is it important to have a proper aircon installation?
Proper installation of the air conditioner is extremely important because improperly installed air con can be a nightmare for you sooner or later. Sometimes, you may not see the effect happening immediately but weeks or months later, the problems will surface.
Some home owners invested significantly in decorating their home. However, as their air conditioners were not properly installed, certain parts became defective very fast. The owner had to tear down their home decoration because they need to replace these defective parts. If you read the list of aircon problems and their causes under our “Aircon Repair” page, you will find that improper installation or used of low quality material for installation can attribute to a number of aircon problems such as condensation or water leaking etc and you will need to re-do the installation to correct these problems.
What contribute to a good and proper installation?
A good and proper installation depends on two key factors which is the quality of the installer and quality of the material used in the installation.
The quality of the air con installers depends very much on the practical working experience of the installers and their commitment in the company. Some company has in house installer whereas some company outsource their installation to third party sub-contractors. Needless to say, the level of commitment from an in house employee would be much higher compared to that from a third party sub-contractor and the quality of service would vary accordingly based on the level of commitment. Why is quality of service so important? For example, if the installer did not ensure that the gradient of your pipes are properly fixed, you will face water leaking problem sooner or later.
Quality of the material used in the installation is also very important in ensuring that the system can function without problem. Take for example, if you use poor quality insulator or insulators that are not thick enough for your air con system, sooner or later, you will have condensation in your aircon trunking and your will need to change the insulators to correct the problem. This can affect your home decoration.
