Electrical Needs
The Condensing Unit requires a dedicated 115V, 20 amp circuit. The unit draws a large inrush current for about 1 second
the instant the compressor starts. With a dedicated circuit and circuit breaker, the Condensing Unit will have sufficient power
for effective operation. (The compressor is controlled by a low-pressure switch mounted on the Condensing Unit. This feature
eliminates the need for wiring between the Evaporator Unit (Fan Coil Unit) and the Condensing Unit).
• Ensure the voltage supplied matches the rating specified on the unit spec. label.
• Provide a non GFI dedicated circuit and an appropriate outlet for the Evaporator Unit’s (Fan Coil Unit) power cord.
• Provide a dedicated circuit and circuit breaker for the Condensing Unit.
• Provide a weatherproof disconnect for Condensing Units located outside.
As with all sensitive electrical equipment, damage may be caused in the event of power surges and spikes. WhisperKOOL
recommends plugging the unit into a surge protector, or power conditioner, in order to protect your system. As outlined in our
Terms & Conditions, power surges and spikes are not covered under warranty.
WE RECOMMEND THAT YOU DO NOT USE A GROUND FAULT INTERRUPTER (GFI) WITH THIS PRODUCT.
In case the system should lose power, check the home/main circuit breaker. If the system does not respond properly, refer to the
Troubleshooting Guide on page 40.
PREPARING THE CONDENSING UNIT
For the equipment warranty to be valid, WhisperKOOL requires that the installation is performed by a certified HVAC-R technician
(NATE certified technician is recommended) per the specifications outlined in this Technician’s Manual. The technician shall be
required to be equipped with the proper tools of the trade including: R-134a, brazing equipment, dry nitrogen, an accurate
manifold gauge set (digital preferred), plus a 4 valve manifold set for evacuation, digital micron gauge, digital scale, deep vacuum
pump and accurate digital thermometers. Without the proper equipment, a professional job cannot be accomplished. Evidence of
the certified tech’s NATE# or other certification is required.
