Method Statement & Execution Plan for Split Air Conditioner Installation
1. Preparation
Ensure all required materials and tools are available (copper tubing, insulation,
wrapping tape, 2.5 sqmm 4-core cable, 6 mm fasteners, outdoor stand, base pad, etc.).
Confirm availability of tools, materials, and safety PPE.
Coordinate with the customer to finalize locations for Indoor Unit (IDU), Outdoor Unit
(ODU), drainage points, and power connections and any scaffolding requirements
2. Indoor Unit Installation
Technician 1:
Mark the mounting plate at the approved location, ensuring horizontal and vertical
alignment
Drill holes and install suitable 6mm fisher
Prepare wall opening for refrigerant pipes, drain pipe, and wiring with proper slope.
Connect electrical wiring as per the manufacturer’s wiring diagram.
Technician 2:
Assist in lifting and mounting the indoor unit on the plate.
Connect and insulate refrigerant piping (flare connection).
Connect and fix the drain pipe with a continuous downward slope, ensuring no kinks.
3. Outdoor Unit Installation
Technician 1:
Prepare the concrete base/stand and place vibration isolators or rubber pads.
Secure the outdoor unit with anchor bolts.
Ensure proper clearance and leveling for airflow and maintenance.
Technician 2:
Position and align the outdoor unit on the prepared stand.
Connect refrigerant piping from indoor to outdoor unit.
Connect earthing cable properly.
4. Refrigerant Piping & Connection
Technician 1:
Route copper pipes neatly with minimum bends and apply insulation.
Assist in holding and supporting pipes during brazing.
Technician 2:
Perform accurate flaring and brazing connections.
Conduct pressure testing of the piping system for leaks.
Carry out system vacuuming if the piping length exceeds 7 meters.
5. Charging & Commissioning
Technician 1:
Check and verify supply voltage and current readings.
Observe cooling performance, noise, vibration, and drainage during test run.
Technician 2:
Open service valves and release refrigerant into the system.
Check for refrigerant leakage using soap solution or electronic leak detector.
Assist in test running and adjustments as required.
6. Final Handover
Both technicians clean the work area and remove debris.
Provide a demonstration of system operation to the client.
Obtain customer acknowledgment via signature and capture a photo of the installed
unit.
⚠️Safety Precautions
Always wear PPE (gloves, goggles, safety shoes).
Use correct lifting techniques or lifting equipment when handling the outdoor unit.
Ensure power supply is isolated before electrical work.
Handle refrigerant cylinders with care and follow manufacturer’s safety guidelines.
