Be sure to only hire a certified and currently licensed HVAC Company to complete 100% of the installation so
that all details of the installation are performed correctly and completely.
Factory Warranty will be void if any portion of the installation is not performed by a licensed HVAC
contractor/technician. DIY or partial DIY will also void ALL factory warranties.
Hiring an HVAC technician that is offering their services as a "side job" rather than
a licensed HVAC company
may pose possible risk. This may result in an incomplete or unsatisfactory installation, no guarantee for
workmanship, maintenance or further service to your unit.
Have the installation technician read in full the installation manual and all supplied documents for the product
model you purchased. Details within the provided documentation contributes greatly to the success and quality
of the installation. Experience with other manufacturers may not be applied fully to another manufacturer,
although there will be similarities there will also be differences. Ignoring the provided installation procedures is
an act of negligence and may cause unit failure or damage which could be permanent.
It is possible for a licensed contractor/technician to make a mistake during the installation. YMGI does not
supervise nor is able to control the contractor/technician’s installation.
It is critical that the installer take each
variable into account during the initial installation. This will ensure a complete and professional
installation and that all units work properly.
The following will damage the unit and its key components resulting in loss of factory warranty:
1. Any foreign substances introduced into the system because of failure to seal the ends of the refrigeration piping
before pulling the piping through any structures at time of installation.
2. Not installing an oil P-trap in the copper suction line where the indoor unit is located 18 feet or more below the
outdoor unit.
3. Cross piping and/or cross wiring of any units including more than one single zone or a multi zone system.
4. Not conducting a positive leak check by charging the system with dry-nitrogen and performing soap bubble
testing.
5. Not conducting a negative leak check by evacuating the copper lines for 30 minutes. The vacuum must be held
at 500 microns or better for at least 5 minutes, starting a 5-minute timer after the vacuum pump is turned off.
6. Not conducting a positive leak check prior to the negative leak check.
7. Not selecting the correct size wire or circuit breaker.
8. Not answering ALL questions in the technician's checklist located inside the warranty registration form.
The following may be overlooked, ignored, or considered unimportant during your installer's installation,
but will cause your unit to underperform and may cause unit failure.
1. Any kinks in or improper bending of the copper piping.
2. Any poorly formed flares, not centering the flare with the flare nut, or not tightening all connections.
3. Not trial testing each indoor unit individually.
4. Not reading technical data (temp/time/pressure/current) after the system is stabilized (normally the compressor
needs to run at least 10 minutes before reading the data). If the data is read too early, it may lead to inaccurate
assessments about the unit.
In an effort to help protect our customers from possible faulty installations that can lead to premature unit failure,
YMGI provides the above information for you (the owner) and the technician. You can observe while your system is
being installed, even though your observation is not a guarantee your system is being or has been installed properly
and professionally. With the information provided above, you will know some things to look for and questions you can
ask. If at any time you feel there may be an issue with the installation, please have your technician contact YMGI at
(866)833-3138 x 703 with any questions, issues or concerns you may have.
