Anything that lowers their noise level will also be warmly (pun intended) welcomed. After all who is really out there looking to purchase an air conditioner that will constantly interfere with the pleasant sounds of the home based entertainment system or wishes to place an ugly monstrosity in a prominent position in their home?

The leading supplier of air conditioners in the world, LG has not only realized that air conditioners are not all about technology, design and style are just as important and a unit that runs as quiet as a mouse will be a big seller. 3.5 ton ac unit carrierRecently LG Electronics' launched the new low noise Deluxe Split Inverter Air Conditioning range that extends their highly successful range of Photochangable air conditioners. ac unit superheatLoved-up mice in fluffy slippers star in LG Electronics' latest Air Conditioning marketing campaign to launch the new low noise Deluxe Split Inverter Air Conditioning range. 2002 honda civic ex ac compressorLaunched in Australia, in time for the ever so hot summer, the campaign playfully magnifies the technology that allows unrestricted airflow on the indoor unit of these air conditioners - which makes these indoor units much quieter at 20dB(A) in sleep mode, says LG.

The campaign cleverly illustrates this by stating that 'no longer is the mouse the quietest in the house'.Taking the improved efficiency and quietness one step further , the new series has been extended to the Artcool range and includes the following models: S09AWN-4, S12AWN-4, C09AWR-2 and C12AWR-2. The highly successful Artcool range was introduced a few years with the key feature of enabling you to insert a family picture, children's drawing or any type of printed image under the transparent front panel. The image carefully disguises the air conditioner making it a feature that can be changed at will, by simply opening the panel.We like any development that meets the insatiable demand for products which hide technology and make it invisible. You can now place a photo that you love in front of a quiet and efficient air conditioner and lay back on your lounge in comfort and listen to your favorite music.

If the installation is done accurately your air conditioner will give optimum cooling, but if it is not done properly you won’t get the desired cooling effect. A poor installations also leads to frequent maintenance problems. Several factors have to considered during the installation of split air conditioner. Strength of wall to hold the AC The indoor unit of split AC must be installed on a wall strong enough to hold the unit’s weight. Proper spacing between wall ans AC unit The indoor unit of split AC requires at least 15 cm of open space surrounding its top and sides for proper air flow. Appropriate installation height from ground The indoor unit of split AC should be mounted at a height of 7-8 feet above the ground for adequate cooling inside the room Correct tilt angle of indoor unit While fixing the aluminum bracket on wall make sure that the bracket is given a slight tilt angle, so that the indoor unit of split AC, when fitted is also at a slight angle to enable unrestricted flow of the condensed water from the drain pipe.

Correct location of outdoor unit For proper cooling the indoor and outdoor units of split AC should be mounted at location away from direct sunlight and water. The outdoor unit of split AC should be installed in open space so that there is no hindrance to the heat dissipated from the condenser. Proper placement of outdoor unit The outdoor unit of split AC must be placed on a flat and rigid surface. This unit contains key components of split AC like compressor, condenser, fan motor etc. If the unit is not placed on a flat surface then it will vibrate excessively, which can lead to the breakage of copper pipes, coolant leakage and compressor/condenser damage. Further, the vibrating unit makes lots of noise which could disturb you and your neighbors. Right distance between indoor and outdoor unit Correct distance between the indoor and outdoor unit plays a very important role in cooling. The coolant at very low temperature flows inside the copper tubes between indoor and outdoor units of split AC.

There is always some loss of cooling effect to the atmosphere when the refrigerant flows between the units. Hence to reduce this loss, the distance between the indoor unit of split AC and the outdoor unit of split AC should be kept as minimum as possible. The maximum allowable distance between the indoor and the outdoor units of split AC can be about 15 meters.It is a big deal when the air conditioning goes out on a hot summer day, but there is no need to wait for help to come to you.  Many air conditioning malfunctions are not difficult to identify and repair.  The following test procedure will help you identify if the problem with your outdoor unit is the fan motor, the capacitor, or the contactor.Troubleshooting the “outdoor air conditioner unit not running” starts with some easy commonsense steps:Section A; you can hear the a/c compressor running and the fan motor is not turning.Because the compressor is running you know there is 220 volts power to the outdoor unit and you know the contactor is doing its job of delivering that 220 volts to the compressor and to the motor. 

The malfunction will be a bad capacitor and/or a bad motor. Capacitors can be tested with multi-meters that have the ability to read microfarads or you can take your capacitor (and your motor) to your nearest U-FIX-IT store for a free bench test.  If the capacitor tests good then your motor is bad.Caution – Capacitors can store an electric charge (like a battery).  The shock hazard is non-lethal, but it is no fun.   Check the 220 volt power is off and discharge the capacitor by shorting between capacitor terminals (with insulated screwdriver) before removing the wires from the terminals.you cannot hear the a/c compressor running and the fan motor is not turning.  Your next troubleshooting step will be checking the 220 volt power because it is highly unlikely both the compressor and the fan motor would fail at the same time.  Failure of the contactor (see picture above) most often produces this symptom.  You can prove the contactor is the problem by using a multi-meter or you can take your contactor to your nearest U-FIX-IT store for a free bench test.
