Installation of an air conditioner involves mechanical and electrical tasks. The mechanical procedure involves physically instituting the device on a convenient location like the wall/window. In case of Packaged Air Conditioners the common practice is to install it in a rectangular opening in the window or make a similar hole in the wall. In certain cases, the device is also kept on the floor, a practice discouraged since it sucks in more dust than usual. In case of a split air conditioner, there is flexibility in placing it anywhere in the room, provided certain electrical requirements are met.
With respect to the electrical regulations, it mostly depends on the tonnage. For Packaged Air Conditioners, our technicians at My World Aircon take care of the appropriate stabilizer requirements for the voltage fluctuation. In case of split air conditioners, a ducting exercise needs to be done using copper tubes and good insulation. My World Aircon uses the finest quality of copper tubes keeping in mind customer's convenience and durability of the product.
The weather characteristics for Pune, India make air conditioning use a necessity. High use coupled with lack of air conditioning maintenance negatively impacts the lifetime of the device.
In case of Split Air Conditioners, there are a few regular checks which the user can do himself/herself. Certain cleaning activities are required for Air Condition Filters, Compressor, evaporator coil, ducts, and refrigerants. An air conditioner should not be switched off and then immediately switched on. Flipping the power button has a negative impact on the life of the air conditioner. We at My World Aircon encourage our customers to accommodate certain good practices which would only ensure the longevity of the machine. This way the customer can identify sooner if the units behave abnormally, and call us. It would reduce the repair costs exponentially.
Typically, the maintenance activities differ with the type and brand of air conditioner. For Packaged Air Conditioners, one of the basic things that the user can do is to vacuum clean the unit from the exterior, in order to brush away the dust and cobwebs that an air conditioner tends to gather after prolonged use. Besides this, it is advisable to always run the device for a few minutes even in winters and spring when the customer may not need it; the reason being that any kind of machines should be operative regularly and not subjected to tremendous use all of a sudden. These measures are more apt for residential air conditioning. If our customers do not have the necessary personnel to conduct these tasks, our technicians can perform preventive maintenance for a nominal fee.
Any device needs regular maintenance and so does an air conditioning unit, since it is subjected to wear and tear due to regular use over time. Without proper care, efficiency of the machine will suffer and that will negatively impact the life of the device but maintenance helps to control the wear and tear. In order to have a sustained function of your air conditioning unit, it is important to pay focus on the regular maintenance of the machine.
