Residential Split AC Design Advice

I’m planning a new residential air-conditioning setup and want to get the split-system design right the first time. I already know I want a split system rather than central or ductless mini-split, but I’m still working out the finer points of sizing, layout, and installation logistics. Your role is to walk me through the complete design and installation strategy so I can hand a clear plan to my installer and avoid costly re-work. Here’s what I need from you: • Load calculations and unit sizing based on room dimensions, insulation levels, and local climate • Indoor and outdoor unit placement recommendations that balance performance, noise, and service access • Line-set routing, condensate management, and electrical requirements, spelled out clearly enough for a licensed contractor to follow • Guidance on energy-efficient model selection, refrigerant considerations, and any rebate or compliance issues that may apply in my region • A concise written report (PDF) plus any supporting sketches or diagrams you feel are helpful I’m happy to provide floor plans, photos, and local code information as soon as we start. Let me know what additional details you need and roughly how long you’ll require to prepare the recommendations.
