Installing an air conditioner on the facade of the house and siding
Installing an air conditioner at home can be cheaper and easier if you plan and start work at the stage of finishing the cottage. All wires and pipes are laid directly into the walls. This will save 30-50% of installation costs. The greatest difficulty for villa owners is the choice of a place for outdoor units without damaging the appearance of the house. The most common way to install an air conditioner on the facade of a house is to mount it on an outside wall. The brackets serve as fasteners, set according to the level. It is important to install the modules so that maintenance can be carried out. A good option for placing air conditioners on the facade of the house is to use the rear facade.
In one-story cottages, outdoor units are often mounted under windows.
The length of the piping between the indoor and outdoor units must be less than 5 meters (some manufacturers allow up to 10 meters).
Installing an air conditioner on the roof
The flat roof allows you to install the air conditioner at home directly on it. Completely inconspicuous, the outdoor units will be serviceable.
Correct installation will eliminate vibration transmitted to the roof.
Do not use this installation method with a sloped roof. The load on the supporting beams changes. And the roof itself transmits vibration well, especially if it is covered with metal tiles.
Installing an air conditioner in a wooden house
Many wooden home owners face the problem of hanging outdoor air conditioner units on log or siding walls. It is quite simple to solve it: install the equipment on a special support near the outer wall of the house. This will keep the wall intact, completely avoiding vibration.
For the air conditioner, a concrete support is dug in, covered on top with several layers of shock-absorbing material (for example, foam). There should be as many layers as possible, but their thickness is not so important.
Installing the air conditioner when finishing is finished
If the finishing of the cottage is completed and it is necessary to ensure the installation of an air conditioner in the house with minimal destruction, they are especially suitable for the selection of places for the blocks. The main task is to reduce the pipe line. The best way to install an air conditioner in the house in this case is "sandwich". Indoor and outdoor modules are located opposite each other, separated only by a wall. At the same time, the inner walls remain intact.
