Before an indoor unit is permanently installed, clarify and verify exactly where the unit is to be located. Too often, a location the contractor has in mind may vary from what the homeowner had expected. Refer to the manufacturers installation literature to ensure that the air distribution will suffice but avoid installing the unit where it blows air directly on the people in the room.

Stated clearances to the front, sides, and rear MUST BE ADHERED TO in order to provide adequate airflow through the outdoor unit. If need be, be creative in outdoor unit placement to ensure clearances are met is a wise investment as the minimum unit clearances must never be compromised. A poorly located outdoor unit can and will inhibit airflow, reduce system capacity, may result in nuisance shut down and even lead to premature equipment failure.
