Air Conditioner Installation – Comment to Post
Hi Everyone. Sudarsan posted a nice comment on how installation of air conditioners. This post is just a recap of the same.
Installing AC
Window AC- Need to have a cut-out for the AC to be installed. Usually Flat builders provide a rectangular opening beneath a window to facilitate this. My advice is to plan on an opening as suggested by the Aircon manufacturer (AC away from the floor would not suck-in the dust near the floor, and more importantly cold air moves towards the floor, while hot air rises up, so having AC above the ground gives better cooling efficiency). Coming back to installation, the space around the AC at the opening, is closed with a plywood frame or alternate materials. Window AC’s need stabilizers depending on the tonnage. Installation expenses would be about Rs.300, plus carpentry/masonry related expenses towards the AC opening.
Split AC – While Split AC gives the flexibility to install at a convenient position in the room, Split AC sales comes with 5m Copper tube only, for additional ducting you would have to pay Rs.400-500/m of copper tube. Indoor units are wall mounted and at about 5-6 feet from the floor. The outdoor unit can be floor or wall mounted and the key efforts in the installation is to have good insulation for the copper piping between the Outdoor and Indoor units. Installation for each split unit ranges from Rs.1000 to Rs.1300.
Nowadays the Voltage stabilizers come as a part of the Split AC package itself, even otherwise stabilizers upto 5 KVA should cost in the range of Rs.1000 to Rs.1500 only.

Here’s my pence: My experience difference between the split and the window a/c is that the cooling is faster/better in the split than the window (of similar tonnage). But, for a in-built-sinus-featured guy like me, I end up having a heavy head after I have slept in for about 4 hours in a split a/c, while this hasnt been much of an issue with a window a/c, where the outside air inlet is more. Also, one thing which I have observed is that the atmosphere in the room becomes drier with a split unit than a window a/c. (More, if any in my mind, as it comes)
great article, thanks for the information

Hi, I had bad experience when the re install the split ac in my new residence, the total gas in the compressor had to be filled each time a shift & that costed 2500 – 3000/filling per time. Can any one explain why this occurs & how can we be careful on it.
