KIC Refrigeration designs mini-split systems in Altoona, IA zone by zone. We perform individual load calculations for each room, select wall-mount, ceiling cassette, or floor-mount indoor units based on room layout, plan condensate drainage paths, and size the outdoor unit with the correct number of ports and total BTU capacity to serve all connected zones.
Our Altoona 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.
We connect insulated copper linesets between indoor and outdoor units, flare all connections with a calibrated flare tool, torque flare nuts to specification, pull a deep vacuum to below 500 microns, and hold the vacuum for 30 minutes to confirm a leak-free sealed system.
KIC Refrigeration commissions every mini-split installation in Altoona, IA by verifying superheat and subcooling on each indoor unit, confirming refrigerant distribution across all connected heads, setting up wireless controls and Wi-Fi apps, and training you on seasonal mode selection, timer functions, and filter cleaning schedules.
