A clear, step-by-step approach to every mini split installation project we take on.
At your Essex property, our technician surveys every room in the installation plan. We calculate cooling and heating loads per zone, determine optimal indoor unit placement for air distribution, plan the lineset routing from each head to the outdoor unit, and select the correct condenser tonnage for the total connected capacity.
We mount each indoor unit on a reinforced wall bracket at the manufacturer-recommended height, install the outdoor condenser on a level pad or wall bracket with proper clearance, and core-drill lineset penetrations with a slight downward pitch for condensate drainage.
KIC Refrigeration connects mini-split linesets in Essex, CT with precision. We use calibrated flaring tools to produce consistent 45-degree flares, torque all connections with a manufacturer-specified wrench setting, evacuate the system to below 500 microns, hold the vacuum for a minimum of 30 minutes to confirm integrity, and then release the factory pre-charge.
Our Essex technician commissions each zone — verifying cooling output, heating output, fan speeds, swing vane operation, and thermostat communication. We pair wireless remotes, set up Wi-Fi app control, and walk you through auto, cool, heat, dry, and fan-only modes.
