Easy-fit Installation

Our Easy-fit air conditioning units means units mean they are pre-gassed, so whether your air conditioning installation is for domestic home or office use our easy to follow guide on installing your air conditioning unit will take you through the installation step by step.

Our air con units have been installed into offices, server rooms, classrooms, bedrooms, lounges, living rooms, conservatories, home gymnasiums, loft conversions and even onto boats!

No special tools are required to install our air con units, the most challenging aspect of the installation is drilling a 70mm diameter bore hole in your outside wall to pass through the cabling and pipe work. Once this is achieved the remainder of the install is connecting everything together with spanners, allen key, screwdrivers etc.; in fact all tools that you would find in a normal tool box.

A standard air con installation would have the internal unit on an outside wall with the bore hole hidden behind the unit. If this is not feasible there are many other options. The pipe work can exit the internal unit to the left, to the right or straight down, until an outside wall is reached. Another option is to exit the internal and bend upwards into a false ceiling or ceiling void, however a condensate pump (which we can supply with trunking) may be required to run the condensate away.

Whatever your individual circumstances, Cooleasy can offer a solution for you. If any advice is required please give us a call and speak to a member of our friendly team on 0800 458 0101. No questions are silly and of course, advice costs nothing.

Basic Air Conditioning Installation Guide

We continually get asked all the time for a basic outline to installing an air conditioning / heat pump system, so here is quite a basic guide as to the steps involved

1. Identify the wall the unit is going to be mounted on - ideally it will be an exterior wall
2. Identify the mounting position for the outdoor unit - try and keep it between 4 and 6m for optimum efficiency
3. Mount the indoor unit back plate, use this as a guide for drilling the hole to the outside (little trick - hang the indoor unit on the bracket and draw around it with a pencil, this will show you where you can't go past to keep the hole hidden behind the unit)
4. Mount the outdoor unit, this can either be done on a set of wall brackets or bolted down to the floor on a slab, wall brackets make the installation look more professional
5. Mount the pipework support system and trunking outside - (the cable tray or grip locks which will hold the pipes in place, this should be done at 600mm intervals) and the indoor unit, pulling the pipes, drainage system and cable from the back of the indoor unit and feeding them outside
   
6. Run the pipes in the support system and connect up the flares on the indoor unit, run the drainage hose down to the ground into a suitable draining point
7. Run the cable down the wall and through an electrical isolator mounted next to the outdoor unit
8. Refer to the installation manual provided with the system for information on the gassing procedure for the units, this should only be carried out by competant persons.
9. Test for any leaks on the gas lines and the water system by running the unit in cooling and heating mode for some time.
10. Make good any of the works carried out, plugging up the space in the hole with expaning foam etc etc
