Mini-split install overview: mounting and electrical prep only (line set BLOCKED)

The handyman scope is limited to the indoor wall plate, the wall penetration, the outdoor pad or bracket and coordinating electrical work. Line-set connection, vacuum, refrigerant release or charging are EPA 608 work and BLOCKED; the outdoor disconnect and circuit are for a licensed electrician.

Window air conditioner install and support bracket

Secure the unit so it cannot fall, give it the slight outward tilt the manual specifies (some models have a sloped base pan and need none), seal the side panels, and plug directly into a suitable outlet. Larger or heavier units should have an exterior support bracket.
