5 Central AC Installation Mistakes To Avoid
The average cost of installing a Central Air Conditioning System is between $5000 and $7000.
Now, upon installing such an expensive system if it starts to malfunction within a few days, would it be worth it?
Central air conditioners circulate cool air through a system of supply and return ducts.
These supply ducts and registers carry cooled air from the air conditioner to the home.
Central AC is costlier than a window AC. But to avoid that extra cost, people try to deploy some risky strategies, which may backfire.
5 Mistakes You Should Avoid At All Costs
Not choosing the right type of central AC
There are many types of Central ACs. The two most commonly used are:-
Split System
Package System
A split system has it's cooling parts of the unit inside the home, and it's heating parts outside of the home. With a split system, the condenser and compressor are housed outside.
While, a package system is self-contained and the entire unit is installed outside at ground level, or on top of the roof.
Thus, deciding the right type is of utmost importance.
2. Not choosing the right size
Central AC systems are measured in tons. This measurement is based on the unit's ability to cool your home.
A larger system than the recommended size may end up forcing your system to run constantly in short bursts. This can harm your system.
Taking professional advice is always recommended before choosing the size.
Or, you can measure your room size and calculate the recommended size with reference to the Climate Zone Chart.
3. Purchasing from unknown brands
As central ACs cost more than $5000, people try to purchase the system from unknown brands whose costs are low.
This is a wrong practice and you should avoid it at any cost.

Also, these less expensive brands have low-quality materials used in the system. It can be hazardous in some situations.
