Telltale Signs of a Faulty Aircon Installation - a Brief Write Up

Posted by Fast Fridge Repairs on February 4th, 2020

There are certain signs that will unmistakably tell you that all is not well with the installation of your air conditioning system. If and when the signs start to show up, you should immediately take steps and make amends. This is because faulty installation will affect the performance of your PC in a terrible way.  

Here are a few signs that say the installation of your air conditioning is defective.

Water Leakage

When you have the air conditioning system wrongly installed, it will result in high condensation, as a natural phenomenon because of the operation of the system.

However, as the water keeps on dripping and accumulating, it will find space to flow and accumulate, forming puddles and pools. This happens when the condenser pans are not installed properly and are not at the level.

Therefore, if you notice pools of water around the air handler installed indoor, or under the outdoor unit, this might well be the sign of improper A/C installation that must be addressed and rectified at the earliest.  

Perpetual Electrical Issues

Improperly installed aircon might spark off electrical issues as well, and that might very well be a perpetual issue. For instance, if you get a burning smell, especially that of a burning cable, it might be a result of improper installation, and you must contact the installer without any delay whatsoever.

Remember, any delay whatsoever in summoning the installer or the technician can be particularly dangerous and improper installation might lead to electrical issues, which might very well turn out to be pretty fatal.

Poor Performance

When the installer installs aircon systems improperly, that may stop the system from performing optimally. It can very well be the cause of an improper installation, which has resulted in a faulty connection to the system’s ductwork.

Besides, if there is an incident of improper sizing, or a faulty calculation or a failure of calibration of the thermostat, they may contribute to the problem.

Now all these may surface up due to faulty installation, which will, in turn, result in abysmal performance at the end of the day.

Weak Flow of Air

In some instances, AC units that are improperly installed will not help the very cause of the installation. In other words, you will get a very poor flow of air through the ducts - something that will almost compel you to look for a technician almost immediately.

Odd sounds

As and when you hear strange sounds from the system when it runs, it can very well be one of the signs of a faulty installation. Grinding, grating or squealing sounds from the air conditioner will tell you that there is something wrong with the installation itself, more so when you have just had the system installed. It means there is hardly any possibility of any technical snag since the system is brand new.

Not enough cooling effect

At times, a faulty installation will result in the system not yielding the desired cooling effect. If delayed, it will keep on decreasing the energy efficiency of the system and shooting your power bills up.
