Choose a Location
Blueridge Ductless minisplits are extremely versatile for the fact that they can
be retrofitted in a limitless number of applications. There are a few restrictions
to keep in mind when it comes to selecting the location of the indoor air
handler. When selecting a location, please:
Select a location that doesn’t have any obstruction near the air inlet or
outlet of the air handler.
Choose a location where the condensation that the unit produces can be
dispersed easily and safely. If gravity cannot rid the unit’s condensation, a
condensate pump would be required in installation.
Ensure that the multiconductor wire can be run to the outdoor unit, as
this unit obtains power from the outdoor unit.
Select a location that is out of the reach of people and foot traffic.
The location should be able to support the weight of the air handler and
allow the air handler to be securely affixed to the wall, in order to reduce
vibration during operation.
The air handler should not be installed above any other electric applianc-
es. For optimal performance, the air handler should be installed at least 6
feet above the floor.
