Air Conditioner Installation
in Los Angeles, CA

The air conditioner is installed directly in the room where the climate balance needs to be adjusted. The location of the unit depends, firstly, on its type: wall-mounted - mounted on the wall, in the upper air flow zone, duct, and cassette - mounted behind a suspended ceiling or as one of its panels, window - in a window opening, mobile (portable) - anywhere. The outdoor unit of split systems is installed outdoors and mounted on the facade of the building, approximately at the same level as the indoor unit.

•  The airflow should not be directed directly into the area where people are staying (it should be slightly higher);
•  There should be no insurmountable obstacles or barriers in the path of the airflow (wall, cabinet, door, curtains - all this prevents the uniform distribution of the flow);
•  The freon line should be laid along the minimum path. Place must be found to reduce the distance between the indoor and outdoor units. As the distance increases, the unit's performance decreases.

Yes, it will, but not everyone. There are unique inverter-type air conditioning systems that can work for both heating and cooling. Such a unit necessarily has both an external and internal unit. However, any household air conditioner model that positions itself as a heat source can function at an outside air temperature of up to - 50°F. Otherwise, there is a risk of freezing the external unit and, as a result, failure of the entire structure. When buying an inverter model with a heating function, you should pay attention to the technical data - the maximum permissible outside air temperature must be indicated in the instructions.

If we mean installing an air conditioner within one room, it is possible. This option will be more rational in all respects. If we are talking about several rooms, for example, two adjacent rooms, and the possibility of operating a more powerful air conditioner by "flowing" cold air from one room to another, then in no case should this be done. In the room where the system is directly installed, the temperature will be below normal, while in the adjacent room, the air will only begin to cool, i.e., the distribution of air flows will be uneven. Therefore, each room should have an independent cooling system. Another option is to use ducted split systems, which serve several rooms simultaneously. They have one outdoor unit and several indoor units that supply cooled air to all rooms through ducts.

An inverter air conditioner differs from a conventional one in its primary "heart" mechanism - the compressor. An inverter compressor can vary the power of the unit as a whole. When turned on to achieve a given temperature, the compressor will operate at maximum energy consumption and cool/heat the room fairly quickly. Then, when the set temperature level is reached, the compressor slows down the rotation speed, reducing the device's performance. This innovation allows you to save electricity significantly, more accurately respond to changes in room temperature, reduce the noise effect, and extend the air conditioner's service life.
