A staggering 90% of AC units are incorrectly installed (Energy Star), highlighting the gravity of ensuring proper AC Installation.

Mistake 1: Wrong Size Units. Nearly 75% of HVAC technicians fail to consider home size, volume, and shape during AC Installation (ACCA). This negligence leads to inefficiency and increased costs. Avoid it by insisting on a Manual J load calculation before AC Installation.

Mistake 2: Neglecting Airflow. Approximately 68% of systems suffer from improper airflow (NCI). During AC Installation, technicians must guarantee a minimum of 400 cubic feet per minute (CFM) per ton of air conditioning. Ensure your technician measures airflow during AC Installation.

Mistake 3: Refrigerant Problems. 40% of all HVAC systems have an incorrect refrigerant charge (EPA), affecting efficiency and lifespan. During AC Installation, demand a precise refrigerant charge, aligning with the manufacturer’s specifications.
