Hidden installation of an air conditioner and how to hide it from surrounding eyes

Being, of course, a useful device, only some models of air conditioners can boast of a beautiful design. Most often these are ordinary plastic boxes that do not fit well into the interior. How do I hide the air conditioner?

How do I hide the conditioner?

The question of how to hide the air conditioner comes to mind of most owners of stylish apartments. Unfortunately, the design of the device is such that no boxes, curtains and other similar decoration means can be used. By blocking the air supply, we harm the equipment and reduce the efficiency of its operation at times.

Therefore, the most fastidious can be advised to install channel or cassette air conditioners, which are completely invisible. These are the most hidden air conditioners of all. The cassette case is mounted under the false ceiling. And the presence of a ducted air conditioner can only be guessed by small ventilation grilles in the ceiling or walls.

But not every apartment owner can afford to purchase hidden air conditioners. And the height of the ceilings is sometimes small. In this case, you can resort to at least a hidden installation of the air conditioner.

Concealed installation of the air conditioner

The term "concealed installation of an air conditioner" is used by specialists in the installation of split systems.

This installation is carried out in two stages. Even at the stage of roughly plastered walls, it is necessary to determine the places where the air conditioner units will be located. In addition to the indoor and outdoor units, the structure includes electrical wires and a pipe line (two copper pipes).

The first step is to cut a groove in the wall for laying pipes and wires. Then they are laid down and fixed in the recess. The outdoor unit (s) can now be installed.

Unfortunately, even this method does not quite answer the question of how to hide the air conditioner. But wires and pipes disfigure the room no less. Therefore, half of the task can be considered completed.

The second stage is carried out only after finishing the walls. The craftsmen hang the indoor unit, connect all the routes and connect the electrical wiring. Fill the system with refrigerant and start the air conditioner.

So, partly the problem of how to hide the air conditioner has been solved. Owners will not see rough wire boxes, electrical outlets and bags. In front of them there will be only a neat finished wall and the air conditioner itself.

Some owners are trying to make decorative boxes for their HVAC equipment. However, this will complicate control from the remote control, disrupt air circulation around the case and may even lead to breakdown.
