Installation Procedures

Step-by-step installation guide:

  1. Select installation location meeting clearance requirements
  2. Install outdoor unit on stable, level surface
  3. Mount indoor unit in designated space (attic, basement, or mechanical room)
  4. Connect refrigerant lines between indoor and outdoor units
  5. Install condensate drain line with proper slope
  6. Connect electrical wiring following wiring diagram
  7. Install and connect thermostat
  8. Evacuate and charge refrigerant system
  9. Test system operation

CAUTION! Ensure all connections are properly sealed and insulated to prevent energy loss.

Electrical Connections

Proper electrical installation is critical for safe operation.

  1. Turn off main power supply before beginning electrical work
  2. Install dedicated circuit breaker of appropriate amperage
  3. Connect power wires to terminal block following color coding
  4. Connect communication wires between indoor and outdoor units
  5. Ensure proper grounding of all components
  6. Verify correct voltage and phase at unit terminals

WARNING! Electrical work must be performed by licensed electrician following local codes.

Ductwork Installation

Proper duct design and installation ensures optimal performance.

  1. Design duct layout for balanced airflow to all rooms
  2. Use properly sized ducts to minimize static pressure
  3. Install supply and return ducts with adequate insulation
  4. Seal all duct connections with approved mastic or tape
  5. Install dampers for zone control if applicable
  6. Ensure return air grille is properly sized and located

Tip: Perform duct leakage test to verify system integrity.

Commissioning & Setup

Final setup and system verification:

  1. Power on system and verify proper startup
  2. Set thermostat to desired temperature and mode
  3. Check refrigerant pressures and superheat/subcooling
  4. Verify proper airflow at all supply registers
  5. Test all operating modes (cooling, heating, fan only)
  6. Configure smart features and Wi-Fi connectivity
  7. Program thermostat schedules if desired
  8. Instruct user on basic operation and maintenance
