The expediency of installation of split systems
The easiest way to make the weather in the house is a beautiful one is the acquisition of a split system. Buying an air conditioner has a lot of advantages.
- Most models are equipped with the function to clean the air in the room of dust and harmful microbes, as well as the ionization function. This is very important for people prone to allergies and asthma, as well as for children.
- In winter, in strong cold, the air conditioner will quickly warm the room in the afternoon and at night. This will protect you from hypothermia. In summer, the split-projistem will quickly create coolness even in the hottest room. Such a purchase is very important for those who have increased blood pressure, heart problems and cardiovascular system.
- Thanks to the compact size and the fact that the equipment is installed on the wall, the split system will not take up much space. Therefore, air conditioning can be freely mounted even in small rooms.
- A comfortable climate in the room in which you spend most of the time improves mood and performance.
- A good split system is able to moisturize or, conversely, drain air and thus create a more favorable atmosphere in the room. For health, it is important additional hydration of air during the heating season, when humidity decreases in the apartment. This threatens that the skin becomes overdred and, in addition, the overall fatigue of the body increases.
What to pay attention to when choosing a split system
There are nuances that need to be taken into account when choosing air conditioning:
- Split system is a fairly expensive purchase. When ordering via the Internet, the equipment can be deformed and even broken due to improper delivery. And check it out only after installation. However, if the invoice has already been signed, the purchase will not be returned for the purchase.
- It is not recommended to purchase air conditioning in the summer season, if only for this there is no extreme need. In summer, the demand for climatic equipment is usually increasing, so sellers overstate prices. The optimal season is winter. Allows you to calmly, without a queue, in no hurry to choose the equipment and get a full -fledged consultation of the seller on all questions of interest.
- Air conditioners are of different types and functionality. From the most simple inexpensive models $ 600-700 to very modern and expensive, with modern design and many functions. Everyone decides it for himself. However, so that expensive equipment does not become a useless toy - an expert’s house is recommended. Most large companies selling air conditioners have a professional person in the staff.
Such a consultant goes to the house to a potential customer. After it issues a conclusion that indicates, in particular, heat access or, conversely, heat leak in the room from people, pets, household appliances, windows and even doorways. The area of \u200b\u200bthe room and the height of the ceilings are also taken into account. As a result of these measurements, it will be easier for you to choose exactly the air conditioner that is ideal for you both functionally and in terms of economy.
Types of air conditioners
All split systems are conditionally divided into two main types. These are professional units that are used to cool large rooms. They are purchased by large shops, warehouses or trading companies. The second type is air conditioning for home use, that is, residential apartments and houses. Here we will talk about home climate technique.
There are several types of climate control equipment in relatively small rooms, for example, apartments:
1. The most common and most purchased type is wall split systems. They are also called household and indoor, because for the apartment they are most convenient in installation and operation. The minimum power of such a technique is 2 kW, the maximum is 7 kW. This is enough for the comfortable operation of climatic equipment in rooms from 7 to 75 m2. Wall split systems belong to separate-type air conditioners, because their compressor is located separately from the main module. This is very convenient, since the equipment works almost silent if the compressor is located outside the building. The outer unit is installed under the window, and the internal in the apartment in the immediate vicinity of the outer. A very large minus of such a climate aggregate is that it cannot deliver fresh air from the street to the room. Dust, harmful bacteria and carbon dioxide move around the room with air flow. This corrects the installation in the apartment of a separate ventilation system.
2. Canal split systems also belong to a separate type of air conditioners. Their big plus is that they are able to conditionally condition several rooms. From the advantages of such a purchase - the system is mounted in the wall hidden, so it is suitable for any interiors. In addition, the channel split systems have an important function of a fresh air, which is previously cleaned. This technique is most suitable for those who live in large private houses and where each room has a large area.
3. Floor air conditioners, which are also called mobile. These are internal split systems. The undoubted advantage of such a purchase is that the equipment does not require installation and works directly from the network. In addition, the mobile air conditioner moves and is installed if desired in the room that must be heated or cooled at the moment. If it is not possible to place the air conditioner on the wall, then such a purchase is the best option. Of the disadvantages, the fact that the pipe for hot air will have to be removed in all rooms where the operation of the equipment is planned. In addition, they are quite noisy, due to the fact that the entire structure works indoors. Therefore, it is not recommended to buy them for an office or bedroom.
4. Window air conditioners are mounted directly in the window opening. Their advantage over other species is that they are the cheapest. However, the demand for them is steadily falling. This is due to the presence in this type of technique of significant minuses:
- they obscure part of the window, thus darkening the room;
- they are inconvenient to mount in modern windows with double -glazed windows;
- in view of bulky can spoil the overall impression of the interior;
- reduce the functionality of the window;
- are the most noisy of all types of climatic technology.
Exit: the window air conditioner is mounted directly into the wall, making a hole in it specifically for it. Of course, for this you will have to go to additional costs.
Installation split systems
When the long -awaited purchase happened, and the delivery workers brought the box, the buyer is faced with a very important question. DIY installation with your own hands or entrust the installation to the master. We will tell you how to perform this process yourself.
Installation of split systems includes the following main stages:
1. Preparatory work:

Instructions with detailed recommendations for the installation and operation of the product are necessarily attached to any air conditioner. Next, you should carefully read the instructions.
- on the floor near the wall where the air conditioning will be located, it is necessary to lay a cardboard or cellophane so that after the end of the work all the dirt can be quickly removed. In addition, this will preserve the flooring from possible scratches.
2. Preparation of materials. To start work, it is necessary to prepare special tools. Need to prepare:
- squads of sufficient power. Hilti TE 76 -ATC has proven itself well;
- a drill with a working length of at least 800 mm and a diameter of 40-45 mm;
- punch;
- set of drills, with a diameter of 6 to 12 mm;
- construction line with a level;
- svinčnik;
- maslar adhesive tape;

- prepare self-tapping screws with a press-shame, with a length of at least 32 mm and dowels under a 8 mm diameter. After that, neatly, using a shchuvuruvo, we fasten the bar of the internal block;
- the level must be checked that the bar is installed smoothly;
- install internal mounts. To do this, you need to know the simple rule: the minimum distance from the air conditioner to the ceiling should be at least 7 cm;
- using a line with a level, we mark the holes through which the freonomagistral will pass. It is necessary to lay it so that there is a small slope towards the street. This is necessary so that condensate can freely be excreted and not stagnated;
- in order for the hole to be neat, it is necessary to circle the edge of the future hole before the drilling, cutting the wallpaper. Otherwise, torn edges may remain;
- using a painting tape, we glue a plastic bag directly under the future hole in one edge so that all dust and dirt get there during drilling;
- using a drill with a diameter of 45 mm, we make a hole in the wall. At the same time, do not forget that you need to drill with a slope towards the street;
- we mark and drill holes from the outside of the building. Then we tighten the brackets. For this, it is best to purchase or rent special safety equipment. It is in any large construction store;
- install the outer block on the brackets. Then we tighten it with bolts with a nut and washer;
- after that, it is necessary to measure the length of the freonomagistral and leave a supply of 10 cm;
- the next stage is the trimming of the pipe, it processed with a rimer and a roll;
- now you need to open the air conditioner cover and unscrew the plug, which connects the internal and outer block. After that, connect the cable and tighten the plug;
- we connect the drain hose with a metal -plastic pipe using an island;
- using a divorce key, it is necessary to connect the tubes to the internal unit of the air conditioner;
- the copper pipe must be drowned with electrical tape so that dirt does not get inside. After that, special insulation from rubber is put on the pipe;
- we wrap the trunk pipe with vinyl insulation. We put it in the hole and carefully put the air conditioner in place, not forgetting to re -check the level. The split system should sit very firmly;
- hide a cable and a highway with a special box;
- the highway and cable are connected to the outer block of the air conditioner;
- the next stage is the vacuum of the highway. After this vinyl ribbon, we house the part of the pipe that is located on the outer side of the house;
- run the freon into the highway;
- install and reliably tighten the protective cover of the outer unit of the split system;
- the drainage tube with special plastic clamps is attached to the air conditioner.
Do-it-yourself split system is ready. Now you can turn on the equipment using the remote control, not forgetting to first close all the windows and enjoy coolness and freshness.
