Proper installation helps your AC cool quickly and run quietly for years. We help arrange technicians for new AC installation, uninstallation and shifting across residential and commercial setups in India.
O General air conditioners have heavy indoor coils and powerful outdoor compressors. If an AC is not installed properly, it can vibrate loudly, leak water inside the room or lose gas within months.
The indoor unit must be mounted firmly on a solid wall using a spirit level. If the unit tilts backward or the drain pipe does not have a downward slope, condensed water will overflow into your room.
Technicians drill a wall hole with a slight downward angle. This lets water flow out naturally through gravity without backing up into the drain tray.
Modern ACs use eco-friendly refrigerants like R32 and R410A. Any moisture or air trapped inside the copper lines can damage the compressor oil and cause the AC to stop cooling.
A vacuum pump removes all moisture and air from the copper lines before releasing gas. This protects the compressor and ensures your AC cools properly from day one.
Installation requirements depend on whether you have a split AC, window unit, ceiling cassette or ducted system:
Looking to install an O General Split AC? We help arrange wall plate mounting, wall core hole drilling, outdoor bracket fixing, copper pipe connection and vacuum testing. Contact us with your city and room details to schedule an installation visit.
Need O General Inverter AC installation in India? Inverter air conditioners have sensitive electronic circuit boards and operate at high gas pressures. Proper vacuum pump dehydration and correct 4-core communication cabling are mandatory so the system runs smoothly without error codes.
Need O General Window AC installation or remounting? Window ACs require a sturdy wooden or iron frame on the window sill or wall opening. The unit needs a slight backward tilt so water drains outside instead of collecting inside your room. Contact us to check technician availability.
Planning O General Cassette AC or Ducted AC installation in India? Ceiling units require careful ceiling rod hanging, false ceiling cutout coordination, drain lift pipe plumbing and duct plenum connection. Contact us with your office or home layout to discuss installation requirements.
Moving to a new home or office? Moving an AC safely requires locking the gas into the outdoor unit so no expensive gas is wasted:
Before unbolting the AC, the technician runs the compressor and closes the service valves. This collects and locks all refrigerant gas safely inside the outdoor condenser.
At your new location, the technician checks the new wall, verifies whether existing copper piping can reach the balcony or roof, mounts the unit firmly and tests cooling.
Before installing an AC, here are four important things the technician will check:
O General indoor units are heavy. The wall must be strong brick or concrete to hold the unit firmly without vibrating.
The outdoor unit needs at least 1 to 2 feet open space around it so hot air can escape freely without overheating the compressor.
The drain pipe must slope downward through the wall hole so water flows out continuously without backing up inside.
A separate 16A power socket with good earthing and proper circuit breaker (MCB) is needed to handle AC starting current.

Final installation cost depends on your AC capacity, outdoor bracket position, and the total copper pipe length needed between indoor and outdoor units.
A clean installation process to ensure strong cooling and zero gas leaks:
The technician checks wall strength, power point distance and pipe exit route.
Indoor plate is fixed straight with a spirit level, and hole is drilled with a slope.
Outdoor stand is bolted firmly, and copper pipes and power wires are connected.
A vacuum pump pulls out all moisture before the refrigerant gas valves are opened.
The AC runs for 15 minutes to verify cold air and explain remote settings to you.
