AC installation that’s level, sealed and built to last

Most AC problems we fix in Dhaka started on installation day — a unit that tilts the wrong way, pipes without insulation, no vacuum, a wall hole left open to rain. We install new split units and relocate existing ones the way the manufacturer intended, so they cool properly for years.

Installation standard

Ten steps we never skip

A standard split AC installation takes three to four hours for one unit. It is tempting to rush, especially in peak season, but every step below affects how well the unit cools, how much power it uses and whether it leaks water or gas later.

Your technician checks each step off on the job card, and you are welcome to watch any part of the work.

Wall-mounted split air conditioner installed in a home

1 · Survey the wall and power

We check the wall can carry the unit, find a route for the pipe and drain, and confirm the socket and breaker are rated for the AC.

2 · Mount the indoor plate level

Fixed with proper anchors and a slight fall toward the drain side, with clearance above for airflow and filter removal.

3 · Core the wall hole

Drilled with a core bit at a downward angle to the outside, so rainwater can’t run back in.

4 · Fix the outdoor bracket

Galvanised bracket bolted into solid concrete, with rubber pads to reduce vibration and space around the unit for airflow.

5 · Run and insulate the copper

Both copper lines separately insulated, bent without kinks and wrapped with the cable and drain in UV-resistant tape.

6 · Make proper flares

Pipes cut clean, deburred and flared with the correct tool, then tightened to the right torque — the most common leak point done right.

7 · Drain with a continuous fall

The drain runs downhill all the way to a safe outlet — never looped upward, never dripping on a neighbour’s balcony.

8 · Vacuum and leak check

Lines evacuated with a vacuum pump and held to confirm there is no leak before any gas is released.

9 · Seal and tidy

Wall hole sealed inside and out, pipe run clipped neatly, dust vacuumed and packaging removed.

10 · 30-minute test run

We check pressure, running current, vent temperature and drainage, then show you how to use and clean the unit.

Moving home or office?

AC relocation without losing your gas

Uninstall ৳1,500 per unit. Uninstall and reinstall at a new address in Dhaka from ৳4,500 per unit, plus any new pipe or bracket needed at the new location.

01

Pump down

With the AC running, we close the service valves and draw the refrigerant back into the outdoor unit, so it isn’t released into the air.

02

Dismount and cap

Both units are removed safely, pipe ends are capped against dust and moisture, and the remote and brackets are bagged and labelled.

03

Refit and vacuum

At the new address we install to our ten-step standard, vacuum the new lines and top up gas only if the extra pipe length requires it.

Before we arrive

A little preparation saves an hour on the day

  • Choose the wall with us. The indoor unit works best on a wall facing the length of the room, away from direct sun and not directly above a bed.
  • Check the outdoor position. A balcony, ledge or roof is safest and easiest to service later. Exterior walls above the second floor need rope access.
  • Ask building management. Many apartment buildings in Dhaka have rules on where outdoor units and drain pipes can go.
  • Have the power ready. A dedicated socket or isolator with a suitable breaker near the indoor unit — we can arrange an electrician if needed.
  • Keep the box. The installation kit, remote and warranty card are inside. Please register the warranty with the brand.

Installation FAQ

Good to know

Some brands require installation by their own service team to keep the compressor warranty valid. Please check your warranty card before booking. For most brands sold through retailers, a proper installation with a job card is accepted, and we install to the manufacturer’s manual.

Most 1–2 ton splits work well with 10 to 15 ft of pipe and can go further with extra gas. Very long runs or large height differences reduce efficiency, so we advise on the best position during the survey.

Yes. We install all major brands regardless of where they were bought. Please check the box contents first — some online units ship without the copper pipe kit.

Only a single core-drilled hole is standard. If you want pipes hidden inside the wall, that needs masonry work and should ideally be planned before painting; we can quote it separately.

Three to four hours for one unit in a normal flat. A second unit at the same address adds about two hours. Rope access or long pipe runs take longer.
