It pays to know the signs of a faulty AC installation, so you can address the problems properly with the help of your trusted AC maintenance company.

When your unit’s performance doesn’t live up to its expectations, it may be caused by improper installation. A faulty connection due to poor wiring configuration or forgetting to calibrate the AC’s thermostat can affect its performance. 

Your AC may be emitting strange noises, hissing, and humming sounds that could also be a result of incorrect installation. Furthermore, it could be a sign of internal damage in your unit.

Poor performance also indicates a slow unit response, meaning that it takes too much time to cool. This is probably due to the installer placing too much or too little refrigerant, leading to your AC unit malfunctioning. 

#2: Electrical Problems

The smell of something burning can often signal an electrical problem. Unplug your unit and call a professional AC repair service provider to help you address it. This might be caused by improper installation, especially with its electrical components. Your thermostat may constantly turn on and off and it is also possible to occur if the power occasionally trips. These are all signs of electrical problems possibly caused by improper installation.

If left unattended, this could render serious damage to your unit, needing a replacement or heavy repair at the end of the day. To avoid heavy costs and unnecessary hassles, ensure proper installation with experts.

If you notice water around the indoor air handler or the outdoor unit, it could be a sure- sign of improper AC installation.
