A clear, step-by-step approach to every mini split installation project we take on.

KIC Refrigeration mounts mini-split equipment at your Chester, IL property to manufacturer specifications. Indoor units are secured to wall studs with reinforced brackets, outdoor units are set on vibration pads or elevated wall brackets for snow clearance, and all wall penetrations are sealed against water intrusion and insulated against thermal loss.
At your Chester property, our technician runs insulated copper linesets, makes flare connections using a calibrated flare tool and torque wrench, connects the condensate drain, pulls the system down to 400 microns or below with a vacuum pump, and decay-tests for 30 minutes to verify zero leakage before releasing refrigerant.
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.
