If the interconnecting line set exceeds the standard length, what should be done?

When the interconnecting line set exceeds the standard length, it is essential to consult the manufacturer’s installation manual for guidelines. The reason for this is that each manufacturer provides specific instructions regarding the allowable length of the line set, which is crucial for the optimal operation and efficiency of the air conditioning system. Exceeding these lengths can lead to issues such as decreased efficiency, inadequate cooling or heating, and potential damage to the system.

The installation manual will typically contain detailed information on factors like the impact of the increased length on the refrigerant charge, the need for possible adjustments, and any additional components that may be required to maintain system performance. By following these guidelines, you ensure compliance with manufacturer standards and maintain the longevity and effectiveness of the system.
