The outside unit comes with two pipes which work as a refrigerant one of the pipes transfers outside air, cools it and sends it inside while the other pipe sucks the indoor air out. If your technician fails to install these pipes properly it can hamper your room cooling.

• The indoor unit should be mounted in such a way that airflow does not flow towards the room door, instead, it should be away from it to avoid dripping of the cold air.

-The input and output of the voltage

-The amount of current taken while running the AC unit
