Partial or complete dismantling of the air conditioner is made for various reasons - repairs in the apartment, moving, installation to another room and so on. The standard approach is to call for the correct removal of the Split system of employees of a specialized company by paying this service. A more economical option is to dismantle the air conditioner with your own hands, sobering in the intricacies of the procedure. It is impossible to say that it is simple, but at the right approach is quite realizable.
About the ways and difficulties of dismantling do it yourself
As a rule, owners of private houses and apartments set 2 varieties of air conditioners - monoblock (mobile) and split systems. With the first special problems, it does not arise, because in such models all the basic elements are enclosed in a single case, and to move the unit simply disconnect the air duct.
In addition to the monoblocks and Split, there are other varieties of climatic installations - cassette, channels and columns. But usually such equipment is installed in offices, shopping centers and other premises of a large area, in private dwellings it is quite rare.
The split system consists of two sections located inside and outside the dwelling. They are interconnected by two highways, according to which the refrigerant circulates in various aggregate states - Freon. On the copper tube of small diameter, it flows from the external block into the internal. According to the high-diameter highway, the refrigerant gaseous refrigerant moves in the opposite direction. From here there is a number of difficulties that are waiting for the non-destroyer when trying to independent dismantling:
- Complete or partial loss of freon as a result of an unqualified disconnection of the main pipelines.
- Getting into the tubes and heat exchangers of air containing moisture. If the split system is incorrectly installed in another place, incompressible moisture will fall into the compressor and can harm it.
- Close of copper tubes while pulling them out of the wall and during transportation. The moisture or sand in the freon circuit is the fast "death" of the compressor.
- When the triggers are disconnected from the internal section nozzles, it is possible to accidentally roll up the threaded splits.
- Disconnecting power wiring without marking on terminals, where they were connected, leads to confusion during the re-edge process.
- Too short trimming of a drainage tube with condensate outside.
- Loss during the transport of cogs and other small parts, not fixed after dismantling.
Most of the listed cases lead to expensive repair of your air conditioner in a specialized workshop, so before removing the split system, it is necessary to carefully examine the instructions below.
Removaling the inner and outer unit in three ways:
- simple disassembly with the release of refrigerant into the atmosphere;
- with the preservation of freon in the system according to the method "On the eye";
- with special equipment that allows you to completely save the refrigerant in the circuit.
The best result gives the last way, although all three apply in certain circumstances. So that you do not have any problems with the installation of the removed air conditioner and its further operation, it is recommended to operate according to the third option, after reading the method of preserving Freon.
Preparatory activities
First of all, it is necessary to prepare such a set of tools and devices:
- dumping with cruciform and flat slot;
- a set of horn keys;
- stationery knife;
- hexagon keys with dimensions of 5 ... 10 mm;
- a manometer collector or a pressure gauge with a tube and a threaded compound, calculated for the maximum pressure of 10-15 bar;
- scotch Malyary and Marker;
- insulating tape or ordinary tape.
The pressure gauge collector will surely need when you plan to mount the split system in another room, so it is better to rent it, and buy it too expensive.
Also for convenient and safe maintenance of work requires a stepladder to calmly get to the inner module installed under the ceiling. The external section located on the wall of an apartment building is better to draw through the window, having previously rugged the rope. There will be no units of assistant services.
An important stage of preparation is to ensure the preservation of the refrigerant with the smallest loss. For this, the principle of operation of the air conditioner is used, thanks to which the entire freon can be collected in one place - the outdoor block circuit. Prepare tools, act according to the instructions:
- Covering your hand in the infrared element on the remote control, switch the split system into the turbo mode and set the minimum temperature. Remove your hand from the element and direct the console to the air conditioner. In this way, you run the compressor immediately at full power.
- Connect the hose from the pressure gauge to the service station located on the side of the outer block, after which it will immediately show the pressure in the system. In some models, these nozzles are hiding under the lid, it must be removed.
- Unscrew 2 nuts - plugs located on the ends of the fittings. Under them, the valves are detected adjustable by the hex key. Pick up a suitable hexagon in size.
- Discharge the fuel valve with a liquid refrigerant (this is a thinner tube) and follow the testimony of the pressure gauge. At this time, the compressor retracts the freon gaseous through the second tube.
- When the instrument's arrow falls on zero and will go to the vacuum zone, close the second valve and quickly disconnect the air conditioner with the remote control. On this, the refrigerant in full is in the outline circuit of the external module.
In split-systems, filled with different graams of freon (happens R22 and R410), the diameter of the carving of the service fitting is distinguished, where the pressure gauge is connected. For R410, you need a special adapter to be prepared in advance.
The preservation of the refrigerant according to the method "On the eye" is made without a manometer collector. After closing the liquid valve, it is necessary to wait about 40-50 seconds, and then close the gas valve and disconnect the household appliance. The disadvantage is clear: you will not learn how much freon has managed to get into the outer block, and for a long time to keep a working compressor with a blocked trunk is unacceptable. The result will manifest on the next setting of "split" and its launch.
Instructions for removing the external module of the split system
The outer block of the air conditioner has to be dismantled when moving or its permutation to a new place. To repair the apartment, it is not necessary to remove the external section, but disconnect freon highways, cable and drainage will still have to. Works are performed in this order:
- Unscrew the hose of the pressure gauge used when pumping the refrigerant, and put the end nuts in place - plugs.
- Unscrew the nail nuts, pressing the copper tubes to the fitters, move them to the side. With the help of tape, either the isol protect all the open holes in the highways and nozzles of an external module so that the garbage and dust do not get inside.
- To disconnect the electrical cable, disconnect the machine from the power supply and remove the cover closing the terminals (is over freon valves). Before unscrew the wires, cover the strip of the painting screws over the terminals and sign the color marker to secure the connection order. Disconnect the veins and remove the cable.
- Disabled highways tie to the outdoor block bracket so that the copper tubes do not hang out and have not bent, otherwise they will have to be changed.
- Unscrew the 4 fastening nuts of the external module to the bracket, reveal it with the rope and, together with the assistant, remove the unit.
Professional refrigerators often practice a slightly different approach: they do not unscrew the cape nuts and do not remove freon tubes from the fittings of the outer block, and they bite them. Then you do not need to wrap the ends of the pipeline pipelines in order to protect against moisture and garbage, because they are flattened by nippers. With the subsequent installation, the split ends are cut and the fading unit is performed under the compound with a precipitant nut.
After disconnecting cable veins from the terminals, tighten the contact screws and tighten them, because they can fall out and get lost during transportation.
The bracket itself is better to take off later when you will thank the freon contour pipelines from it. If highways come out of the wall no more than a meter, then they do not need to bind them. You should neatly align the tubes so that they are easier to drag from the inside. The bracket is most often attached to 4 anchor bolts, unscrewed by a regular horn key.

The highways are disconnected after unscrewing the cape nuts screw to the traffic jam covering the valves of ports. Unscrew the lid to disable the wires. Laying the location of the core, disconnect the cable after disconnecting the cable screws on the block. Copper pipelines must be twisted

How to dismantle the internal air conditioner unit
To remove the internal module from the wall, it is necessary to disconnect all communications from it - the cable, tubes for freon and condensate. The velocity of pipelines is, as a rule, in the housing niche arranged at the bottom. Depending on the split system model, 2 methods are used to get to this niche:
- Unlock 3-4 plastic latches fixing the bottom of the block to the mounting plate. Reject the bottom of the housing from the wall and insert any rod between them, remove the niches of the communications from the niche.
- If there is no snatch on your "split" model, then you need to remove the front plastic panel, after having dismantling the blinds and additional covers (when they are).
When you got to the harness, make a longitudinal incision by the stationery knife on it, which will allow you to push the insulation and grasp the keys for nuts. Do not take too long incision, otherwise then you will have to change the thermal insulation material. Further operations do in this order:
- Two horn keys spun the joints of the highways. Important point: Sign, soldered to a short tube of the block itself, you can not rotate, it must be kept in place, unscrewing the cape nut.
- The ends of the pipelines clog the tape or scotch, in order to protect against dirt.
- Find the drainage pipe with the output pipe and disconnect it. It is not worth cutting the corrugation where it fell so that it was more convenient to put it back.
- Remove the electrical compartment cover (it is on the right on the end of the housing or under the front panel), make a marker and scotch mark, then unscrew the screws and disconnect the cable veins. Screws Tighten back and screw the lid.
- When all communications are disabled, take over the case on both sides and remove from the mounting plate, lifting a little up. Pass the unit assistant.
- Remove the mounting plate by unscrewing all the dowels.
Given that condensate can remain in the pallet of the inner module, it is desusitive to protect the wall with a polyethylene film. If you are removing air conditioning for apartment repairs, then this precaution is superfluous.
After removing the internal section from the wall, put all the rejected parts on it, tighten the screws and put on the mounting plate. Stopping nozzles to put in a niche by fixing with painting scotch. To secure the opening front panel with the same material so that it does not hang during transportation.
The last step is to disassemble communications laid through the wall or inside it. There are no difficulties here, the main thing is not to pass the copper tubes under a small radius. From such a handling of bend, the flow section decreases, and to align the tube with an oval profile is quite difficult. From the outer wall, pull out gently so as not to damage the insulation. If the hole was embedded by mounting foam, then it must be cut in parts. At the end, the harness is harvested into the ring and secure scotch.
The order of dismantling internal module - Photo Gallery
To turn off the electrical wiring, you need to remove the cover of the electrical compartment before disconnecting lived, write down the order of their connection, passing in a niche, care the knife and get to the junction of the tubes unscrewing the connecting nuts. Disconnect the cable, passing in the same harness. Stage - removal of the mounting plate rejuvenates the housing, it must be fixed in that position

Disassembly in winter
If the temperature on the street fell to -5 ° C and more, it is recommended to refrain from dismantling for the following reasons:
- it will not be possible to pump the refrigerant to the external module;
- in the cold, it is impossible to disassemble the connections, unscrew the plugs and close the service ports;
- as a result of the disassembly, the seals of service valves often fail.
In a situation where, without removing the split system, at a negative temperature, it is not necessary to warm the fittings of the outdoor unit with a construction hairdryer. Then unscrew the plugs and close both valves, thus keeping part of the freon remaining in the outdoor block circuit. Then slowly unscrew the line from the fittings and disconnect them by releasing the second part of the refrigerant into the atmosphere. Further act on the algorithm described above.
Personnel of specialized firms uses pressure gauge stations to pump freon in winter. But if you lease such equipment, the dismantling will cost more than the remuneration of specialists, and the result will come out.
At temperatures above -5 ° ° C, you can perform according to the standard instruction, but it is desirable to use a pressure gauge to control the refrigerant pumping. If you act "on the eyes", you can not guess the exposure time and still lose part of the freon. It is equally dangerous to reap the compressor in work without cooling (and it is cooled by circulating freon), from overheating it can fail.
You successfully dismantle the home air conditioner, if you take care of the warm season and will become the following instruction. It is impossible to miss a single little things, act very neat and without a rush. Do not neglect the pressure gauge, because the loss of the refrigerant will reduce all the savings from this procedure to zero.

There are situations when dismantling the air conditioning system. For example, you planned overhaul, air conditioner transfer or moving.
To dismantle the split system, you need to know the features of this operation. Consider the sequence of actions when dismantling the air conditioner, as well as the consequences of the incorrect dismantling of the air conditioning system.
In what cases do not need to remove air conditioning
Based on the scale of the planned repair and density of fitting the indoor unit to the wall, instead of immediately start dismantling the air conditioning system, you can resort to another way to solve the issue.
Case number 1.
If you plan to cross the wallpaper and the gap between the wall and the inner block is large enough, it is optional to dismantle the whole air conditioner, just disconnect the block from the plate.
Case number 2.
If during the repair you plan to plaster and level the walls, then you can also dismantle the internal block. At the end of the repair of the length of communication, there should be enough for reverse module mounting.
Case number 3.
There are cases when the block needs to be dismantled with the track. This may be caused by a number of circumstances:
- planned "lowering" ceiling;
- module attachment nuts to the module are located in the wall;
- in order to prevent the combination of nuts inside the wall after repair;
- to move the inner block.
Case number 1. 
Case number 2.
How to remove air conditioning from the wall yourself: instruction
Before the start of the split system, you need to prepare not only ordinary household instruments, but also professional.
The necessary tools for dismantling split-systems include:
- truboresis;
- sideboard;
- construction knife;
- cross and integral screwdriver;
- hexagon's end keys;
- manometer collector;
- rozhkov and adjustable keys;
- drill;
- sculpture.
In some cases, safety equipment may be needed.
Preparatory stage
After preparing the tool, learn the recommendations of the specialists on the correct dismantling of the air conditioning system. Most neglects the recommendations of professionals, after which the air conditioner is dismantled with a multitude of errors.
Interesting:
Disassembly without downloading freon into the device leads to his leakage. Restore Freon is then not easy and expensive. The minimum amount of financial costs is four thousand rubles.
Freon descent
There are three main methods, how to disassemble the air conditioner personally:
- analysis with the release of freon;
- preservation of freon in the device;
- the savings of the refrigerant in full thanks to the use of a special technique and specialized equipment.
The last method allows you to get the maximum effect without loss, but the rest of the methods are also widely used.
Before carrying out work, carefully consider the design features of the air conditioning system. It is a closed circuit with a refrigerant and includes a compressor, an evaporator with a condenser and a copper tube system for connecting all components of the elements and ensuring the supply and selection of refrigerant.
To disable the air conditioning system without loss of refrigerant, you need to download it into the condenser. This is possible when operating in cooling mode by overlapping the valve from the product to the tube. For pumping freon in full, no more than one minute will be required. After pumping, it is necessary to overlap the valve on the tube. With this operation, you can stop the total supply of gas.
Dismantling
Works begin with removing the external block. To do this, you first need to disconnect the copper tubes. The tubes are trimmed at a distance of about twenty centimeters from the fitting, and after it is condensed with cuts for complete sealing.
With long-term storage of the device in a disassembled state, the copper tubes are filled with nitrogen, ensure tightness to prevent oxidation.
Works start with removal of an external block
Outdoor block
After disconnecting copper tubes, remove the thermal insulation. It is desirable that the operation is made by two people: one will work outside the building, and the other indoors. This will greatly simplify and speed up the process.
So, one person will disconnect electrical energy, and the other disconnects the wires.
Pipes should be straightened so that they can pass through the holes in the wall. Next, the end of the cable dragged into the room is screwed to them. After that, nuts that support the external block on the brackets are unscrewed.
At the end of the operation, the block is removed and drag into the building. Its storage is possible only vertically.
Disconnecting the compressor
The compressor is very important to dismantle the right way. To do this, it is necessary to produce the following operations:
- Remove the lid from an external module.
- Disconnect suction and discharge tubes.
- Deadly wiring.
- Unscrew the fastener of the condenser and the fan.
- Pull out the condenser.
- Remove fastenings and disassembly compressor.
With this sequence of activities, the possibility of a pipe defect is eliminated and the repair of other nodes is possible.
Internal block
There are cases where the owners are limited to dismantling only the external block. For example, when repairing the compressor. When removal of the entire split system is required, it is important to take into account the existing nuances of dismantling the inner block.
To dismantle the internal air conditioner module, you must perform the following steps:
- Remove the housing cover, focusing on the pointers located at the bottom of the product.
- Disconnect the electrical circuit by unscrewing from the terminals, after which it is gently removed from the split system.
- Cut off the nozzle by setting a predetermination of the tank, from there can leak fluid.
- Remove the heat insulator and disconnect the refrigerant pipeline.
- Unscrew the tubes as when removing the outer unit, and shut them with an insulating ribbon, or tighten with covers.
- Gently dismantle the internal module and remove the installation plate.
Features of work in winter
In cold weather, download the refrigerant to the capacitor is almost impossible: the oil is thickly thick, and when trying to connect the air conditioner in this situation, the supercharger may easily be easily. This situation is not afraid of air conditioners, which are equipped with a special winter set. The equipment includes heated compressor and drainage crankcase, as well as a fan rotation speed retarder.
If you have a model installed without this configuration, then Freon can be pulled by a pressure gauze pressure gauge station.
Connecting this station is performed to the shredder valve, like a pressure gauge.
The consequences of the wrong disassembly
We give a number of probable implications with incorrect dismantling of the air conditioning system manually:
- Loss of tightness of the cooling circuit and Freon leakage. The elimination of this unpleasant situation will require significant financial investments.
- Close of the inner contour of the dust system, penetration inside moisture. These circumstances are particularly affected by the functioning of the compressor, and on the operation of the air conditioner in general. Therefore, it is impossible to remove the product in rainy and snowy weather.
- A drop of heavy external block from a height. Even if the product falls from a small height, in most part cases will result in its breakdown and replacement.
- Mechanical damage to the surface of the external module and other elements that can cause depressurization of the contour. Even the slightest crack can cause gas leakage, and getting inside dust and moisture.

How to dismantle split systems of air conditioners yourself in summer and winter
In connection with the move to a new place of residence or with the change of the location of the office, it may be necessary to disassemble the split systems of air conditioners - the removal of external and internal modules from fasteners. The process has its own characteristics relative to the type of device, time of year, and also requires the availability of appropriate tools.
dismantling with industrial climbers
A team of professional installers will be able to conduct high quality and quickly, but their work costs money, especially if necessary, dismantle several split systems of air conditioners at the same time. If they have large capacity indicators, from which the price depends on, the total cost will be rather big. Is it possible to save on it, or attempt to reduce costs will entail big spending?
Of course, this is the first thing that comes to mind in the situation of the deficit of funds. A man, at least a little dismantling in technical topics, it would seem, will be intuitive how to develop fittings, pump Freon, disconnect the necessary communications, remove everything and pack on the boxes. There are instructions and video dismantling of the air conditioner with their own hands - read, looked and started working. But everything is not really so simple.
Cons of independent dismantling
The main danger is not given by Freon. And this can happen if there is no special pressure gauge for measuring pressure on the gas highway. Freezing of water vapor in the air conditioner leads to a breakdown of the pump.
The actions of non-professional tools will result in damage to the tube of the evaporator of the indoor unit, which are very close to the place of attachment of the device in the wall.
If the pipeline was cut too short, then it may simply not come up in length with a subsequent installation. Building a new displays an aggregate.
Evaporative blocks of channel split systems, in addition to pumping refrigerant, disconnecting the pipeline, electrical wires and drainage hose, require accurate separation with air ducts. Make it without experience is quite difficult.
To dismort the air conditioning yourself, you will need special tools, the cost of which significantly exceeds the prices for dismantling by qualified masters, even if they are rented.
Large-sized semi-industrial splits have considerable weight and sizes. It is impossible to remove them alone. Here you can add complexity with the removal of an external block - it is located on the facade of the building, often at a sufficient height and a decent distance from the window. In any case, you will need a team of industrial climbers if the master self-player does not want to risk life.
Guarantee 100% of the safety of the air conditioner functionality when it cannot be dismantled with its own hands. Risks to deliver the device to a new object in a faulty state are very high.
If these arguments do not stop a person in his decision to try themselves in the role of a installer master, then you should carefully carefully examine instructions for dismantling air conditioners of various types below.
Disassembly of the wall split system
liquid and gas cranes, respectively, on the right and left
Oversized wall splits do not pose a special difficulty when removing them. In stock There should be the following set of tools:
- pressure gauge;
- 2 Swedish keys;
- nippers or piperaza;
- set of hexagons;
- wrench or set of heads;
- indicator screwdriver, simple screwdriver;
- a pressure gauge station for the collection of freon (if the air conditioner needs to be removed in winter).
Start work from downloading Freon to the external unit, to use it again. To do this, connect the pressure gauge through the shredder valve on the gas valve of the pipeline. Air conditioner works in cooling mode. Next, remove the lids on the side valves and with the help of the hexagon, the discharge valve is spinning. After a couple of minutes, the pressure should fall below the zero mark. Now you can close the suction valve, turn off the device, turn off the power.
The next stage of the removal of the air conditioner will be disconnected (trimming) with nipples or pipe cutters at a distance of 15-20 cm from the fittings, their fighting and removing the outer module from the bracket. It must be placed in a dense packaging container from the cardboard and set down around the foam. Then the brackets are then spacked or heads.
Transportation of the condenser block is carried out only in a vertical position.
Next, go to the dismantling of the indoor unit of the air conditioner, which needs to open the cover protecting the device. The module is kept on both sides and unscrew the fasteners. Disconnect the pipeline highway, the ends of the tubes are boring, turn off all electrical interblock wires and remove the block from the mounting plate, opening the fastening latch and following the internal block guide.
Now they go to the removal of the fastening of the remaining pipeline and the decorative plastic box. Thus, the dismantling of the split-system of the air conditioner of a wall-mounted type is fully completed, and it remains only to carefully pack the system and transport to a new place.
If you do everything according to the proposed scheme, then upon subsequent installation you do not have to fully refuel the contour by freon.
All described works can be viewed below on video dismantling of wall-mounted air conditioners.
Dismantling of the channel split system
roller Copper Pipeline for Split Systems
The greatest difficulties occur during self-disassembly of the channel air conditioner, as the weight of this design is significant, and still have to disconnect the air ducts from blocks.
A set of tools in this case remains the same. Work starts with disassembly of air ducts. Cutting-exhaust adapters with grille. Clean the air ducts, disconnecting them from the inner block. If they are metallic, then unscrew the screws, flexible - remove the clamps. The further produce freon injection into the receiver of the external block and deprote it according to the dismantling scheme of the wall split system.
The evaporative block weakens the mounting nuts, produce disconnection of the freon highway, drainage hose and electrical wires. Next, gently remove the block from the wall and pack in a special container.
drainage hose air conditioner
Some masters make a disassembly of the channel air conditioner with their own hands in the following order:
- freon download to the external block receiver;
- removal of the outer module and disconnecting its binding communications;
- disconnecting ducts;
- dismantling the indoor unit of the air conditioner and its binding communications;
- split system packaging and its transportation.
Both options will be technically correct and will not bring subsequent problems with the functioning of the system in a new place.
Dismantling columns, cassette and console split systems
The split-system column system along the wall does not represent any difficulties in terms of dismantling work. Everything passes through the same scheme:
- pressure test pressure gauge and freon pumping into the internal module;
- disconnecting all its binding highways followed by removing the device from the outer wall of the building;
- disconnecting the connecting highways of the indoor unit of the air conditioner and its subsequent dismantling.
In the room block of the column, there is no mounting plate (like a wall-mounted), nor studs (like a cassette, column and console), for which it would be attached, so in this plan there are much less problems with him.
The cassette split system is dismantled according to the channel circuit. When working with an internal module, you must loosen the fastening nuts, and then produce other manipulations. The only difference is that in this case there are no air ducts.
The internal unit of the ceiling (console) split system is attached to the wall or ceiling by hairpins as a cassette or channel block. When removing it will help the instruction on the dismantling of the wall or channel split system.
It is impossible to remove the outer block during the rain or snow, since the moisture ports falling inside the compressor breakage.
Dismantling split-system in winter
Some difficulties arise if you have to dismantle the air conditioning yourself in winter. What are the difficulties? The fact is that at a temperature on the street below the permissible working values \u200b\u200bof the device, it cannot be turned on, therefore, it is impossible to remove the working fluid from the highway. In such cases, it will take a pressure gauge station for collecting Freon. Cranes are closed on the external unit, the station is connected to the shredder valve and the refrigerant is collected from the highway and the inner module.
If this is not done, then the refrigerant will take place. We will have to re-fill out the contour and change the seals of service ports. Therefore, the dismantling of the air conditioner is better not to spend in winter.
You should watch the video dismantling of the wall split-system with your own hands for a complete presentation of the process.
Dismantling the air conditioner with your own hands
There are situations when it is necessary to disassemble a split system or one of its blocks. For example, it may be necessary to remove blocks when repairing an apartment, transfer the air conditioner to another place, moving, etc. It would seem that there is nothing easier than to remove or disconnect something. "Breaking the same thing - not to do." But in the case of air conditioning, this motto does not work. The reasons are as follows:
- in order for the air conditioner in the future, it is necessary to maintain Freon. Otherwise, his refueling does not meet the money saved. At the same time, it is necessary to know how to overtake the freon into the external unit. And some tool will be required;
- conditioners filmed "Toporn" few people are taken to be installed in the subsequent. And during its independent installation there are even more difficulties.
Dismantling the air conditioner with your own hands
Let's analyze some of the features of this process, and then learn the sequence of actions. What should be considered for air conditioners without winter options:
- With a positive temperature on the street, it will be necessary to include air conditioning for cooling and wait for the compressor to turn on, and the cold will go from the indoor unit. It is necessary that the temperature in the room is sufficient to turn on the air conditioner. Read more here;
- If you want to dismantle the air conditioner at a negative temperature, we can do without inclusion (it is not allowed to use air conditioner at low temperatures). In this case, simply overlap the service cranes, then we bleak the Freon's residue from the "Trail". At negative temperatures, the main part of the freon condenses in the external block, and its loss will not be so significant.
To dismantle the air conditioner, you will need it: a pressure gauge, a set of hexagons, a knotting screwdriver, adjustable key, knife.
1. Connect the manometers to the external block service connector (thick tube). We unscrew the lid (if installed) and the plugs of the cranes (but not nuts of the tubes).
Attention! Screw the pressure gauges need fast and to end. Because wherein will be Go Freon under pressure! Be sure to take into account this and use gloves. Freon can get a burn!
2. Then turn on the air conditioner for cooling. We are waiting for when the compressor turns on and the pressure in the circuit will rise.
3. If the temperature on the street is negative - just closing the cranes. At a positive temperature, follow these instructions. Actions must be carried out with the compressor quickly and correctly (first examine in detail).
- hexagon start to close the tap of the liquid tube (fine) to the end. After that, the pressure begins to drop to 0 bar (it takes about 5-15 seconds) (we look at the pressure gauge).
- as soon as the pressure crossed the 0 BAR mark on the pressure gauge - quickly (but neatly) close the gas tube crane (Tolstoy) to the end. And immediately (within 5 seconds) turn off the air conditioner from the remote (you may need to help the partner). All - now Freon in the external block.
When twisting the cranes of them don't need to tighten .
4. Disconnect the "power" of the air conditioner.
5. Remove the pressure gauges. We unscrew the nuts of the tubes from the outer block. The residue of freon from the indoor unit will be wateed.
Important! We immediately put the fittings and ends of the tubes, in order to avoid getting the slightest dust.
6. Remove the top cover of the outdoor unit. We write how the inter-block wires are connected to the external block. Disconnect them. And also turn off the power cable and other optional wires (if any).
8. Gently straighten the track and free the hole. Here, it is likely that you will have to trim the ends of the tubes to remove the nuts (do not forget to take it right away). Thermoflex and drainage can also be cut off. Scotch tape tightened the "track". The photo below goes the "power" to the inner block. Outside everything is ready.
10. Remove (up) from the plate internal block. And pull out the block together with the track. Here you will need a partner's help.
11. Remove the plate. Hole can be used.
12. The remote control and plate is attached to the inner block to subsequently not lose.
Dismantling only internal block
The internal block is removed separately when it interferes with repair. After repair is again installed in place. It can be removed separately if the air conditioner is installed correctly. There are cases when the nuts of the indoor unit are hidden in the wall, which is unacceptable. Then the removal of the air conditioner will have to be produced along with the "track".
First, we do the operations of paragraphs from 1 to 4. Next, we do the following:
- decorate the lower clips of the indoor unit. We put any backup under the block;
- reveal the fox under the block. We unscrew the nuts with two keys, while the residue of the gas is wateed (there can be a little oil). We rush all the ends of the tubes;
- open the cover of the inter-block wire of the indoor unit. We subscribe how the wires are connected. Then turn off them;
- disconnect the drainage hose (it can flow water);
- disconnect the power cable, if it goes to the inner block. We check whether there are no other additional wires;
- we remove the backup and remove the inner block (up) from the plate;
- then remove the plate of the indoor unit.
And do not forget to attach the plate and the remote control to the inner block so as not to lose. For the subsequent installation of the indoor unit, the system will necessarily need to be vacuuming.

Dismantling the air conditioner with your own hands
It is clear that it is not always not always to fulfill the work on the dismantling of the air conditioner, I want to attract professional performers. Therefore, it is very important before procending the design of the design by our own forces, take care of compliance with all the rules of security, which will be a guarantee that the work will be performed, and no one will suffer.
Dismantling of such a device as an air conditioner - the procedure is not at all ordinary, agree, because we are not doing this every day. Therefore, if you are confident of 100 percent in your abilities, then you can safely begin to perform work.
Tools and dismantling tools
Like any other types of work, dismantling air conditioners with their own hands requires a certain preparation. In order not to worry about the materials and not distracted in search of the necessary tools, it must be prepared in advance.
Tools and materials to dismantle air conditioning with their own hands
So, we will need the following:
- the keyway key, if not, the key is suitable;
- hex keys;
- key keys;
- horn keys;
- screwdriver;
- passatia;
- if there is a pressure gauge;
- truboresis;
- materials that will be needed to perform cranes and disconnected pipes.
If your air conditioner is installed on the balcony of a multi-storey house or in the private house, in this case, dismantling will not be much difficulty even the master of the beginning, if the device is installed on the wall surface, in this case, it is worth stocking of the accessories for the skills.
Oversized air conditioners how to do their disassembly
Removing the air conditioner is completely easy to perform by its own forces without attracting professionals. Before proceeding to perform work, even if you are confident in our own power, it is worth reminding yourself in what order work on the device dismantling.
Removing any type of air conditioner is performed in several stages:
- overlap the channels that served to supply the refrigerant;
- we turn on the device and wait until the exhaust material completely exits the device system;
- turn off the electrical wires;
- disconnect the plum of air conditioner.
By completing these stages of work, you can with maximum attentiveness and accurately remove the device from fasteners, it does not apply to the air conditioners floor, disconnect the nozzles that served as a fluid conductor, and finally remove the block.
Dismantling split system
Dismantling split system
Removing this system is somewhat more complicated by the installation of traditional types of air conditioners. It also needs to be preliminary training. We will need the keys that are usually supplied with the device.
Such a dismantling scheme is also used in working with monoblock systems.
Large air conditioners how to do their disassembly
Cassette air conditioners are the greatest difficulty in dismantling work, because such devices are distinguished by a large mass and rather large dimensions. Therefore, before proceeding to work, it is worth looking for a partner's helpers. The process of removing such systems is performed in several stages.
Turn off the pipes with the supply refrigerant
Channel conditioners, dismantling features
Dismantling of the channel air conditioner
The most difficult performed is the work on removing channel air conditioners. All models of this series are characterized by their large dimensions, high weight, complex design and air ducts that also need to be dismantled. Because of the large sizes of air conditioners like this type, it will be very difficult to do, so find yourself a partner that will help to cope successfully with the work.
Like other types of work related to the dismantling of air conditioning systems, the dismantling of channel type systems is performed in several steps.
Since novice masters do not always have all the necessary equipment, it is worth contacting professional performers.
If you look closely for the installation of the air conditioner, it becomes clear that the process is quite not difficult and it is quite realistic to perform on its own. The only differences that may occur in the work scheme depend on the model and the type of air conditioner, as well as the circuit of its installation.
Special attention to the exhaust freon
It is very important, when performing a dismantling of the system, special attention is paid to the process of pumping the used freon into the block external. To do this, you must enable, select the cooling mode. After that, we connect to the exit cooked pressure gauge, and overlap the valve. Now that the supply of the working fluid is not possible, the system compressor begins to work only in suction mode, which allows you to throw freon into the external block of the system. Making sure that the arrow on the manometer reached the "zero" indicator, very quickly overlapping the valve and de-energize the compressor. After simple manipulations, we achieved that the working fluid is now in the external block of the system, as it was a new device. Having transferred the working fluid, you can start the removal and external block, and fasteners that served as a support for the air conditioner.
The dismantled air conditioners should be equipped and canned, such a measure will avoid unwanted pollution, ingressing dust. Now that the air conditioner is dismantled, the oxygen can fall into its system, which is oxidized and has no positive effect on the pipes inside the system. In order for the device to not be in disrepair, it is not worth stored for a dismantled long time. If you still have the need to save air conditioning, in this case, the expert invitation will allow you to download nitrogen system in the pipes and perform them blockage.

Dismantling the air conditioner with your own hands
The dismantling of this household system is made for subsequent repairs or when moving, many users solve the problem simply - cause masters from the service center. An estate owner who has skills and desire can save and do everything yourself, and how to properly remove the air conditioner, avoiding errors and negative nuances, we will tell.
Any modern split system, to which the household air conditioner relates, consists of blocks for internal and outdoor location. They are connected by two highways, according to which the refrigerant moves. On the tube of a smaller diameter circulates freon in liquid state From the room block to the outer, on the thicker copper tube in the opposite direction it runs, but in a gaseous state.
It is here that problems that can spoil all your actions when trying to remove air conditioning yourself.
- As a result of improper disconnection of the main pipelines, partial or complete may occur. loss of Freona.
- In the tube and heat exchanger can enter the air containing moisture, which is fraught with a breakdown when operating the air conditioner in a new place - incompressible moisture enters the compressor and displays it.
- Interesting into copper tubes of small particles when pulled out through the wall or during improper transport, leads to a quick breakage of the system.
- Special attention should be paid to the soldered Signs on the threads, if they damage them, it will take very expensive repairs.
- Improper disconnection of wires. If you do not put special tags on terminals - can lead to incorrect connection in a new place.
- Too briefly cutting drainage tubewhich displays condensate outside the outdoor unit, you act on her premature complete replacement.
- During the transportation of the product to a new service, there is a danger of losing small fasteners and parts, if they are not securely fixed after disassembly.
All of the cases listed above lead to a very expensive repair of the entire system, so before starting disassembling the air conditioner with your own hands - learn the instructions.
Training
Before disassembling the split system with your own hands, you need to prepare a tool, not simple from the home arsenal, and purely professional, as shown in the photo:
Many users do not take seriously the advice of professional masters, how to remove any split systems correctly. As a result, the disconnection is performed with numerous violations: they dismantle the product without downloading the freon to the air conditioner, there is a leak, which will be filled not as easily as many think.
The new filling of the entire system by the refrigerant will turn out serious financial costs:
- initially, the master will check the integrity of all pipelines - 600 r.;
- refueling the air conditioner with a capacity of up to 4.5 kW - up to 3 thousand rubles;
- the same actions at the capacity of equipment up to 7 kW - up to 3.5 thousand rubles.
With the smallest situation for household air conditioners, this operation will cost at least 4 thousand rubles, depending on the refrigerant used.
Freon descent
There are three ways to dismantle air conditioning with your own hands:
- disassembly with the release of freon;
- save gas inside the air conditioner approximately or "on the eyes";
- fully saving Freon with professional equipment using a special technique.
The third option gives the best effect without any losses, but many users use all the ways. Specialists advise fully retain the refrigerant so that there are no problems when installing dismantled equipment in a new place.
To correctly dismantle the air conditioner, you need to know the design of the split system, which consists of a closed contour filled with freon. The main components are a compressor, an evaporator with a condenser and a copper tube system that binds the entire design and provides the feed and selection of the refrigerant.
This is how the schematic device of a modern air conditioner looks like or any split system:
To turn off the air conditioner without loss of freon, it is necessary to pump it into the capacitor, for this, when the equipment is operating in cooling mode, the valve between the product and the thin diameter tube should be shut down. When the entire refrigerant for a minute - it is so much time will need for a full gas injection - pumped into the condenser, it is necessary to overlap valley on a thick tube, turning off the freon feed, and "close" it in an improvised trap.
Dismantling
Before dismantling the external block, you need to disconnect copper tubesBut in practice they are not reused, since they are categorically prohibited. It is necessary to cut them off at a distance of about 200 mm from the fitting and bump into the cuts for complete sealing.
Attention! With a debt of the storage of the product in a disassembled form, the tubes are filled with nitrogen, ensure tightness to prevent the inner surface oxidation.
Outdoor block
Instructions read: after working with copper tubes it is necessary remove thermal insulationAs a rule, all the masters work together, one indoors, and the second outside. Thus, dismantling is performed faster: the partner turned off the electricity and now you can disconnect the wires at the place of their connection, pre- placing terminals.
The tubes are straightened manually so that they can be without interference through the holes in the wall, and the end of the cable to remove the room is screwed to them.
After that, we unscrew the nuts that hold the outer block on special brackets, together with the assistant gently remove the unit and move it to the apartments. Lastly, the brackets from the building wall are removed.
Important! A disassembled outdoor unit during transportation and during storage is only vertically, to eliminate mechanical damage from shaking - it is inserted into the box, with a foam from the bottom.
Compressor
Sometimes dismantling only the outer block is made, for example, if you need to repair only the compressor, and the internal unit of the air conditioner remains on the spot. During similar operations, the internal block of the split system also does not touch.
The main condition is to remove the compressor correctly:
- remove the cover from the outer block;
- then disconnect suction and discharge tubes;
- all electrical wiring is turned off;
- condenser and fan fasteners are unscrewed;
- we remove the capacitor from the body block;
- access to the compressor is open - we remove the fasteners and dismantle it.
With such actions, the risk of damage to pipelines is excluded and the real possibility of repairing other elements located in the exterior body is repaired, if necessary.
Internal block
The dismantling of the indoor unit of the air conditioner has its very specific nuances, without the knowledge of which all your efforts are useless, and in some cases careless actions can cause a breakdown of fairly gentle fasteners, for example, the evaporator latches or fixtures holding the block on the guides.
To understand how to remove air conditioning from the wall, you need to explore the instruction manual, where there is a section of interest. For many users, this operation will not be able to contact professionals.
Remove the internal block Air conditioning systems will be possible only after removing the front panel, then it is still required to disconnect all wiring, applying and removing freon tubes. Disassemble the plexus of the wires must be carefully and without fuss. But this is not all tests - manufacturers reliably closed access to evaporator latchesSo that dismantling only specially trained people.
Access closes the lid, the clamps of which are quite tightly pressed against the wall - you can get to them using two screwdrivers with a very thin stale. Your partner must hold the entire block during this time-consuming process.
Removing the evaporator, you can unscrew mounting platewhich closes access to the product with electric conduct and freon wiring tubes hidden in a special groove inside the wall. The latter unscrew the decorative box, which goes along the outer wall to the outside block.
The disconnected wires are neatly twisted and folded into a separate box for transportation. To help homemade craftsmen, there is a video, how to dismantle the air conditioning on its own without referring to those skilled in the art:
Dismantling in winter
Many users are interested in the question: how to remove the split system in the winter when due to low temperatures you cannot pump the refrigerant to the capacitor. The oil in the compressor thickens, and all attempts to include it can end it very much smoothly.
If you have a special model equipped with a set, where there is heated compressor crankcase and the entire line of the drainage system, as well as a block, slowing the fan rotation, then your intentions are crowned with success. With its absence, you can use a special deputy Harvesting Stationwhich is connected similar to the pressure gauge collector.
A few more sensible tips: It is possible to start an independent dismantling, when you are completely confident in your own opportunities, and there is a qualified partner. Also, the availability of a special tool makes much easier for work.
A qualified shutdown and dismantling of the air conditioner requires special preparation and availability of professional equipment. Split system removal services can be quite expensive due to their essential labor intensity. And below you will learn how much the conditioning of the air conditioner and the process itself is more detailed.
Modern models of split-systems are designed for long-term operation and are characterized by high reliability. A qualified removal of the air conditioner implies the fulfillment of a whole complex of complex operations that are associated with high-rise work. Attempts to cope with the problem on their own can be completed by the device failure after its further installation and connection.
Dismantling of household air conditioners and modern split systems is carried out by specialized companies that work in this area. The solid company should have the necessary equipment and well-trained personnel. We have high qualifications, which ensures efficiency of expensive equipment after dismantling it.
In what cases the need for removing air conditioners arises
Split systems are mounted by owners of residential premises (country houses and apartments) and the management of companies in offices. Installation and disassembly of household air conditioners most often occurs with the involvement of qualified specialists. The main reasons for the need to dismantle the device are as follows:
- Moving a person to another place of residence.
- Termination of office space leases with departure from premises.
- The emergence of significant faults, eliminate which cannot be without dismantling the air conditioner with further installation after repair.
- Damage to the internal or outdoor unit of the Split system making it impossible to subsequent operation.
- Replacing the broken air conditioner, which has not yet worked the warranty period, representatives of the service center.
In the latter case, work costs can be recovered from the manufacturer of technology or its representation. The manufacturer performs warranty obligations, if the primary installation and connection of split systems and air conditioners, as well as dismantling for repair is carried out by automated companies.
It is important that this is confirmed by documented, otherwise you will not be able to confirm your claims in court. The equipment manufacturer will refer to warranties and refuses the fulfillment of obligations with a full basis.

List the steps of dismantling air conditioner
Removing the air conditioner implies the fulfillment of a complex complex of work that require experience and high qualifications from the artist. Dismantling, just like the installation, should be made in a certain order, sticking to which you guarantee the preservation of equipment in the normal state. It is important to adhere to the following sequence of actions:
- Disconnecting technology from the network, booming from the refrigerant system.
- Pipeline stripping and removing the indoor unit of the air conditioner from the wall to further remove the bracket.
- Preparation for outdoor work and fixing knots and details of safety ropes to exclude their fall.
- Removing the outer unit of the air conditioner, the console bracket and other installed elements on the external surface of the equipment.
Often, the work on the dismantling of air conditioners is conjugate with the need to conduct high height manipulations. Such operations are made by industrial climbers who have rich work experience.
