Commercial AC Unit Installation Services – Complete Process & Expert Guide
Commercial AC unit installation is a technical and professional HVAC service required for offices, malls, hotels, hospitals, factories, and large commercial buildings. Proper planning and expert installation ensure better cooling, energy savings, and a longer system lifespan.
We provide end-to-end commercial air conditioning installation services with experienced HVAC professionals.
What is a commercial installation?
Commercial AC installation refers to the design, supply, and installation of high-capacity air conditioning systems that are built for continuous and heavy usage.

Common Commercial AC Systems:
- VRF / VRV AC System
- Ducted Split AC
- Packaged AC Units
- Rooftop AC Units (RTU)
For each project, the system selection is done separately based on site conditions and heat load.
Step 1: Professional Site Survey & Inspection
Before installation, we thoroughly check the site to prevent any issues in the future.
The following things are checked during a site survey:
- Total area (sq ft / sq meter)
- Ceiling height & insulation
- Occupancy & usage type
- Electrical load & power availability
- Outdoor / rooftop space
- Ventilation & fresh air requirement
A proper site survey helps avoid incorrect sizing and unnecessary costs.
Step 2: Heat Load Calculation (TR Calculation)
Heat load calculation is very important for every commercial space.
The heat load includes:
- Number of people
- Lighting & electrical equipment
- Window & sunlight exposure
- Building orientation
- Application type (office, hospital, showroom, etc.)
Based on this, the correct tonnage (tons of refrigeration) is determined.
Step 3: Right Commercial AC System Selection
The best HVAC system is recommended based on the heat load and budget.
Popular Commercial AC Options:
- VRF/VRV System – Best for energy efficiency and zoning.
- Ducted system – suitable for offices and showrooms.
- Packaged AC Unit – large halls and industrial areas
- Rooftop air conditioning unit (RTU) – Malls and warehouses
Step 4: HVAC Design & Layout Drawings
Before installation, we prepare professional HVAC drawings:
- Indoor unit location plan
- Outdoor unit placement
- Refrigerant piping route
- Drain piping
- Ducting layout (if required)
- Electrical wiring diagram
These drawings are essential for smooth installation and easy maintenance.
Step 5: Commercial AC Installation Process
Indoor Unit Installation
- Hanging rods / wall brackets fixing
- Proper leveling
- Maintain service clearance
- How to install vibration isolators?
Outdoor Unit Installation
- Concrete base in steel structure
- Rooftop curb fixing (for Ratou)
- Proper airflow clearance
- Anti-vibration rubber pads
Step 6: Refrigerant Piping Work
- Correct size copper piping
- Suction & liquid line insulation
- Brazing with nitrogen flushing
- Nitrogen pressure testing
- Vacuuming to remove moisture
Step 7: Ducting Work (Ducted AC Systems Ke Liye)
- GI / Pre-insulated duct fabrication
- Supply & return duct installation
- Volume Control Dampers (VCD)
- Fire dampers (as per safety norms)
- Thermal & acoustic insulation
- Diffusers, grills & louvers installation
Step 8: Drainage System Installation
- Condensate drain piping
- Maintain the proper slope.
- Drain trap installation
- Leakage testing
- Drain line insulation
Step 9: Electrical & Control Wiring
- Power cable laying
- Control wiring
- MCCB / isolator installation
- Proper earthing / grounding
- Panel board connection
Step 10: Testing & Commissioning
After installation, complete testing and commissioning are carried out:
- Refrigerant charging (according to manufacturer guidelines)
- Voltage & current check
- Airflow & temperature testing
- Thermostat & controller testing
- Noise & vibration check
Step 11: Final Handover & Support
- System demonstration to client
- Operation & maintenance guidance
- As-built drawings
- Warranty documents
- AMC (Annual Maintenance Contract) support
