How our NATE-certified technicians deliver quality mini split installation results from start to finish.
We assess each room or zone you want to condition — measuring square footage, ceiling height, insulation quality, window exposure, and heat gain sources — to select the correct indoor unit capacity in BTU for each head and the right outdoor condenser to serve them all.
Our Ames crew mounts indoor heads at 7 to 8 feet on reinforced brackets, positions the outdoor condenser with minimum manufacturer clearance on all sides, drills penetrations through exterior walls with a core bit, and installs lineset covers for a clean appearance.
KIC Refrigeration connects mini-split linesets in Ames, IA with precision. We use calibrated flaring tools to produce consistent 45-degree flares, torque all connections with a manufacturer-specified wrench setting, evacuate the system to below 500 microns, hold the vacuum for a minimum of 30 minutes to confirm integrity, and then release the factory pre-charge.
We power up the system, verify each indoor unit responds to the remote and thermostat commands, check refrigerant pressures in cooling and heating modes, configure Wi-Fi control if equipped, and demonstrate all operating modes and settings to you.
