What you need to know about the dismantling of air conditioners

Often, the dismantling of air conditioners is required if moving to a new location. This can be as a change of residence, and a change of workplace or office. In such cases, remove the external and internal sides of the air conditioner should professionals who have similar experience. Often these are the same people who are engaged in the installation of cooling systems.

It is important that during the dismantling, the technique is kept in the best possible way, without losing its technical and aesthetic qualities. Therefore, it is necessary to remove the air conditioner with extreme caution and care, knowing its device and method of operation.

Dismantling of air conditioners begins with the fact that the fittings that are located on the main cranes of the system are unscrewed. As a rule, they are located at the intersection of copper pipes, in which the refrigerant is located. If this procedure is performed carelessly, the refrigerant can easily leave its location and be outside, which will lead not only to the breakdown of the air conditioner itself, but also to other undesirable consequences.

When working with cooling technology, it is important to have all the necessary tools that will help to remove both the indoor unit (a task that does not have a high level of complexity) and external (which is not always easy, especially if the air conditioner is fixed on the upper floors).

When installing and dismantling air conditioners, inert gases in any case fall into the atmosphere. If the replacement of the blocks is done by professionals, then such oxidation occurs in a very small percentage, but if you unscrew the fittings yourself, Freon and other fillers that are responsible for cooling the air in the room will come out in much larger quantities. As a result, not only the environment will be harmed, but also the purse of the owner of the air conditioner, since during installation in a new place it will be necessary to fill the system with new fillers.

Dismantling the air conditioners requires prior switching on this unit. This is necessary to ensure that freon during the operation of the system is completely transferred to an external unit. Before turning off, you must also turn the tap on the external unit. He is responsible for the release of freon into the indoor unit of the air conditioner. This procedure lasts only a few minutes, but if neglected, dismantling the air conditioners will be a dangerous operation.

Do not forget about the pipes of the indoor unit of the air conditioner - they must be completely closed. In this position, the pipes should be located when the air conditioners are installed and dismantled, and they are activated only after the completion of all work. However, this is far from a complete list of rules and nuances that should be considered when working.

If the dismantling of air conditioners is done by professionals, then there is nothing to worry about - the equipment will remain unharmed.

The cost of removing the air conditioner units is quite low, so do not save on it. Otherwise, acting independently, you can easily break down the air conditioner, and buying a new one will already result in a "pretty penny," which is unlikely to be a good start to moving to a new location.
