Avoid costly errors and ensure a successful installation by watching out for these 5 common mistakes:
Improper sizing – Undersized units might struggle to meet the cooling and heating demands of the space, while oversized systems could operate in erratic on/off cycles.
Incorrect ductwork installation – Inadequate sealing, improper placement of ducts, and similar errors could lead to airflow issues, uneven temperature distribution, and reduced system efficiency.
Poor insulation and air sealing – This can result in energy losses, decreased efficiency, discomfort to occupants, and potential damage.
Inadequate electrical connections and safety – Poor connections, insufficient grounding, and improper wiring present safety hazards and can lead to system malfunctions or failures.
Lack of system testing and commissioning – If you fail to conduct thorough testing and commissioning after installation, your HVAC system might suffer from subsequent performance and calibration issues.
