How to fixed aircon at your home?

Many modern houses have combined central heating and air conditioning systems. Ductwork is installed when the house is under construction and there is easy access to walls and ceilings. Adding central air conditioning to a house with central heating is not a major problem, because the cooling unit can share the heating ducts, with some alteration of connections. Some houses in warmer regions may have no central heat, but need central air. Installing central air in a house with no existing ductwork is a major task, which may require altering some walls inside the house.

Locate the air conditioning unit inside a slab foundation house if possible. Use space in an existing utility or laundry room or a large closet, preferably near the center of the house.

Run main supply ducts from the unit to the attic, as directly as possible. Identify locations for outlet vents, in the ceiling unless there is a closet or other wall cavity large enough to accommodate a duct down to a wall vent. Use a trunk and branch system, with a main supply down the center of the house and branches to outlets near the walls.

Install a cold air return and air filter near the floor adjacent to the entry point from the cooling unit; some units built for installation inside a house will have return openings built at the bottom, eliminating the need for separate return ducts. Always locate returns near the floor in a central part of the house where air flows naturally.

Seal all flexduct seams with tape from the duct manufacturer; never use duct tape, which despite its name, will not hold up. Put covers on the vents inside the house. Check the system for leaks by forcing the blower to turn on. Look for flapping ductwork or listen for whistling to indicate air loss. Repair any leaks.
