How to Prepare Your Home Before Installing a New Aircond
Installing a new air conditioner can make a big difference in your home’s comfort, especially in Malaysia’s hot and humid weather. Before the installation team arrives, preparing your home can save time and prevent unnecessary issues during setup.
1. Choose the Best Location for Your Aircond
The placement of your indoor and outdoor units affects cooling efficiency. The indoor unit should be placed where air can circulate freely, away from direct sunlight or heat sources. For outdoor units, ensure proper ventilation and easy access for maintenance.
2. Clear the Installation Area
Before the technicians arrive, clear the area where the installation will take place. Move furniture and cover nearby items to prevent dust or damage during drilling and wiring work.
3. Check Electrical Requirements
Different air conditioners have different power needs. Some inverter models require a dedicated power socket. If you’re unsure, let your technician check your home’s electrical panel to ensure it meets safety standards.
4. Plan for Proper Drainage
Air conditioners produce condensation water during operation. Make sure your installer plans a proper drainage route to avoid leaks that can cause wall stains or water damage.
5. Seal Doors and Windows
A well-sealed room helps your aircond work more efficiently by keeping cool air inside. Check for gaps in windows or doors to reduce energy loss and improve cooling speed.
6. Schedule the Installation at the Right Time
Installation may take a few hours depending on your setup. Choose a day when you can be at home to oversee the work and ensure everything is installed as planned.
7. Trust a Licensed Aircond Installer
Always choose a certified installer to ensure safe wiring, proper gas handling, and compliance with manufacturer standards. Thiam Seng Electrical Trading Co. is a licensed dealer and installer for Panasonic, Haier, Daikin and Midea air conditioners in Petaling Jaya and surrounding areas.
