Installation of the Indoor Air Handler

Mechanical Installation of the Air Handler

Choose a Location

Blueridge Ductless minisplits are extremely versatile and can be retrofitted in

applications where a ducted system is impractical. 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 alone cannot drain the unit’s con-

densation, a condensate pump is required.

• 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.
