Get the Most Out of Your Air Conditioner with Custom Installation

Summer’s heat will be here before you know it. For many homeowners, it’s time to ensure your air conditioning is ready to keep your home cool and comfortable during the sweltering months ahead.

While regular maintenance is crucial, did you know that how your air conditioner is installed can significantly impact its cooling efficiency? At Ninjacool, we specialise in customized AC installation to ensure you get the most out of your cooling system.

Why Custom Installation Matters

Getting the most out of your air conditioning system starts with a proper installation tailored to your home’s unique needs. A one-size-fits-all approach simply won’t cut it when staying cool and comfortable.

Layout and Size

The size and layout of your rooms impact everything from the BTU requirements to the ideal vent placements. Our team carefully measures each space to determine the perfect AC unit capacity and configuration. We factor in the room dimensions, ceiling height, number of occupants, and window locations.

Climate Considerations

Your local climate plays a key role as well. Homes in hot and humid locales may need different equipment and setups compared to temperate regions. We select systems to handle your area’s typical temperature and humidity levels.

Window and Wall Space

The available window or wall space limits some AC options and vent possibilities. We survey your home to identify the optimal spots for the condenser unit and vents to minimize ductwork and maximize airflow efficiency.

Sun Exposure

The amount of direct sun exposure on certain rooms or sides of your home can increase cooling demands. We consider this when sizing the system and positioning vents to ensure ample cooling capacity reaches sun-drenched areas.

Insulation and Airflow

Poor insulation and air leaks waste cooled air, overworking your AC system. We inspect for problem areas and recommend improvements to complement your new installation. Strategic vent placement also optimizes airflow throughout your home.

Precision Installation for Maximum Efficiency

In addition to customized design, we take great care in executing every installation with precision to maximize performance.

Precise Unit Sizing

Selecting the perfectly sized AC unit is critical, so we don’t rely solely on backyard math and rules of thumb. Our sizing process includes:

• Detailed manual heat load calculations based on your home’s insulation, window space, layout, and other factors that impact cooling needs.
• Leveraging advanced load calculation software that incorporates granular specifics like the R-value of your attic insulation, square footage of windows on each side of your home, the thermal properties of your wall materials, and more.
• Factoring in accurate local weather data like average high temps, humidity levels, and cooling degree days for your specific location. Rooms with western sun exposure need more capacity in hot climates.
• Consider not just current cooling needs but future needs if you add a room addition or occupants. A right-sized unit today should provide comfortable cooling 5-10 years later.
• Accounting for neighbouring structures, foliage or hills that could shade your home and reduce cooling loads.

Our expertise and advanced software give us an incredibly detailed picture of your home’s unique cooling requirements. We use this data to select a system that won’t fall short on the hottest days but won’t waste energy overcooling.

Precise Vent Positioning

The location of vents plays a crucial role in delivering cooling comfort. Poorly placed vents can create hot and cold zones, high humidity, and wasted energy. Our vent placement process includes the following:

• Mapping out desired air circulation patterns for each room based on the layout, windows, doors, and existing ductwork runs.
• Using computational fluid dynamics (CFD) software to simulate and optimize airflow for the mapped ventilation design. CFD uses complex modeling to predict air velocities and circulation.
• Strategically placed vents to capitalize on natural convection currents in the space. Vents near ceilings take advantage of the hot air rising.
• Avoid dead zones behind doors, corners, or distance from vents by carefully plotting vent locations.
• Adjusting vent directional louvers to precision angles that complement the intended airflow paths.
• Sizing vents appropriately based on the room size, airflow velocity needed, and equipment capacity.
• Verify even, comfortable cooling by taking temperature readings at multiple locations after installation. We tweak vent placement if needed.

This scientific approach to vent positioning allows us to achieve a perfectly balanced airflow pattern for optimal comfort and efficiency.

Robust, Vibration-Absorbent Mounting

Shaky, loose AC installation causes many problems, from rattling noise to cracked condenser coils. Our mounting process ensures your system stays firmly anchored in place year after year through:

• A durable, vibration-absorbing base pad beneath the condenser to dampen vibrations and prevent frame contact with the mounting surface.
• Heavy-duty L-brackets and rails are designed specifically to hold the weight and dimensions of your particular AC condenser model.
• Precision leveling of the condenser unit on the mounting brackets to prevent strain on the frame over time.
• For wall mounts, securing brackets to wall studs where possible to provide robust structural reinforcement.
• Using corrosion-resistant, galvanized steel mounting hardware secured tightly into wood blocks or concrete anchors.
• Apply weather-resistant vibration-damping tape at contact points between the AC frame and brackets.
• Checking for play or movement when installation is complete to confirm no vibration risk remains.

This expert mounting keeps your AC unit secure in the harshest conditions, eliminating noise issues and extending lifespan.

Advanced Zoning for Targeted Cooling

Larger homes often require zoning – dividing your AC system into multiple independently controlled sections. Zoning provides:

• Precision temperature control where you need it. Cool only occupied rooms to comfort while saving energy in unused spaces.
• Accommodating different cooling needs. Let the kitchen, media room and master suite each maintain ideal temp levels.
• Optimizing efficiency by avoiding over-cooling. Zones recirculate interior air until additional cooling is needed.
• Lower humidity with managed airflow between zones.

We install state-of-the-art, fully automated zoning panels that optimize system operation:

• Strategically placed remote sensors monitor conditions in each zone and communicate with the zoning panel.
• When cooling is needed, motorized zone dampers selectively open to target only uncomfortable zones.
• The system recruits compressors in stages to finely tune the total capacity to the zones requiring cooling.
• Homeowners can adjust zone names, target temperatures and other settings.

Advanced zoning allows pinpoint temperature control for maximum comfort and minimal energy cost.

Precision Ductwork for Maximized Airflow

The ductwork delivering conditioned air is the circulatory system of your AC. Poor ductwork design hampers system performance. Our exacting duct installation includes:

• Using mastic sealant and foil tape at all connection points eliminates air leaks. Leaky ducts force the system to work harder.
• Ensuring tight 90-degree angle bends with turning vanes inside to promote airflow around corners.
• Sizing duct diameters to optimize airflow velocity and volume for each run. Oversized ducts sap system strength.
• Minimal duct turns, and route deviations create resistance and friction. Straight runs maximize airflow.
• Pull insulation away from ducts and seal outer duct insulation thoroughly to prevent condensation.
• Leveraging HVAC design software to model duct layouts and diameters to optimize the system.
• Tested duct system integrity after installation and made any needed seal enhancements.

Our meticulous approach to ductwork translates to silent, draft-free cooling delivered at maximum efficiency.
