After considering the cost of your AC unit and the process of installation, it’s no wonder so many home owners trust No Sweat AC with their needs. To help you understand this process entailed with using a crane to install an air conditioner we have broken it out into detailed steps. Read on to learn more.
Step 1: Preparation
Planning and preparation is essential to a smooth and successful air conditioning unit install. When you consider that a crane will be used to lift and place the AC this step deserves proper attention to setup the process. First, our contractors ensure the area where the air conditioner will be installed is cleared and accessible. Once the crane arrives we know the best position for the crane. This position must consider a number of factors such as as: the most suitable location, stability, clearance, and weight capacity.
Neighborhoods in Las Vegas leave little room for error. There is often a small margin of area allowed to maneuver the AC unit without the potential for damaging the unit or nearby structure. We will take the time, before installation, to verify that the crane operator and installation team are briefed on the plan and safety procedures.
Step 2: Lifting Equipment Setup
The crane operator sets up the crane’s boom and rigging equipment according to the specific requirements of the lift. Rigging typically involves attaching slings or straps securely to the air conditioner unit, ensuring it will be lifted safely and evenly.
Step 3: Lift Coordination
The installation team communicates with the crane operator to ensure proper alignment and positioning of the crane’s hook with the air conditioner unit. Clear signals and instructions are exchanged between the crane operator and the installation team to coordinate the lift safely.
Step 4: Lifting the Air Conditioner
Once everything is set up and coordinated, the crane operator carefully begins lifting the air conditioner unit off the ground.
The installation team monitors the lift from the ground, ensuring that the unit remains stable and doesn’t swing or rotate excessively.
Step 5: Placement
Up to this point everything has been specifically designed to ensure a precision in placing the unit on a space only inches larger than the air conditioning unit itself. As the air conditioner unit is lifted into position, the installation team guides it into place, ensuring it aligns correctly with the designated installation site.
During this critical step extra attention it made to ensure placement is exact. The crane operator may need to make minor adjustments to the position of the unit as directed by the installation team. Double and triple checking the unit’s final location is common.
Step 6: Securing
Once the air conditioner unit is in the correct position, the installation team secures it in place using appropriate mounting hardware or brackets. Piping and wiring is connected at this stage. This ensures a complete HVAC system and integrates the new air conditioner unit with the building’s enclosed system.
Step 7: Inspection and Testing
After installation, the team conducts a thorough inspection of the air conditioner unit and its connections to ensure everything is secure and functioning correctly. At this time a test run may be performed to verify that the air conditioner operates as expected and provides adequate cooling. Adjustments and troubleshooting may become necessary throughout the HVAC system with a brand new unit install. When replacing a unit a simple run should ensure the new system is connected and functioning as expected.
Step 8: Cleanup and Safety
Finally, the installation site is tidied up, and any equipment or debris is removed from the area.
Safety protocols are followed throughout the process to minimize the risk of accidents or injuries.
By following these steps carefully and adhering to safety guidelines, the process of using a crane to install an air conditioner can be completed efficiently and safely.
