Proper installation is vital for performance, longevity, and warranty. Our process includes:
Heat-load and cooling-load analysis
Matching to indoor units and ductwork
Precise refrigerant charging & airflow balancing
Electrical & safety inspections
Initial start-up, testing, and verification
Annual maintenance should include:
Cleaning coils (evaporator & condenser)
Checking electrical connections, tightening where needed
Verifying refrigerant pressures
Inspecting controls and thermostats
Testing diagnostics & safety features
We can troubleshoot and repair faults such as refrigerant leaks, control issues, compressor anomalies, or sensor failures, using OEM components and manufacturer protocols.
If you’re retrofitting or upgrading, we help integrate smart controls, indoor air quality upgrades, or compatible indoor units (coils, air handlers) to maximize system synergy.
