At your Lake City property, our technician surveys every room in the installation plan. We calculate cooling and heating loads per zone, determine optimal indoor unit placement for air distribution, plan the lineset routing from each head to the outdoor unit, and select the correct condenser tonnage for the total connected capacity.
KIC Refrigeration mounts mini-split equipment at your Lake City, SC property to manufacturer specifications. Indoor units are secured to wall studs with reinforced brackets, outdoor units are set on vibration pads or elevated wall brackets for snow clearance, and all wall penetrations are sealed against water intrusion and insulated against thermal loss.
We connect insulated copper linesets between indoor and outdoor units, flare all connections with a calibrated flare tool, torque flare nuts to specification, pull a deep vacuum to below 500 microns, and hold the vacuum for 30 minutes to confirm a leak-free sealed system.
Our Lake City technician commissions each zone — verifying cooling output, heating output, fan speeds, swing vane operation, and thermostat communication. We pair wireless remotes, set up Wi-Fi app control, and walk you through auto, cool, heat, dry, and fan-only modes.
