Hi
I am a spark by trade and have just bought a split air con unit, any tips on installing, should I attempt this myself or get some one in , the instructions are not very clear, whats the worst that can happen , is it a good idea to have a go myself, the unit is already gassed but once connected what then, the insructions talk of vacumizing and other pretty tech stuff, I am normallly ok with diy etc but I dont want to damage my unit, any advice would be really helpfull, also does the fan unit have to be higher than the indoor unit, and would the outdoor unit have to be kept out of direct sunlight and rain it does have a ip rating of 24 and I have seen simular units on the roofs of buildings with no protection but the instructions say different, please help
A spark outta his depth
