How to Prepare for Your AC Installation/Replacement
1. Prepare Your Space
Before the installation crew arrives, take steps to ensure a smooth HVAC replacement. Safeguard delicate items by moving them away from the installation area. If you have pets or children, keep them in a safe spot during the process. Cover heavy furniture with dust cloths to prevent dust accumulation.
2. Gather Estimates
Collect estimates from reputable HVAC contractors to determine the best course of action. Consider replacing the entire system for maximum efficiency. Contractors will assess your space, climate, and needs to recommend the right HVAC system size and type.
3. Choose the Contractor
Research and schedule visits with licensed and insured HVAC contractors. Get estimates and compare them, considering warranty, experience, and costs. Ensure estimates cover all aspects of replacement, from repairs to clean-up.
4. Select the Right Model
Research the appropriate HVAC system type and size for your space. Look for energy efficiency ratings and Energy Star certification. Consider your local climate and consult your installation technician for brand recommendations.
5. Installation Process
Upon arrival, the crew will assess the job site and set up work areas. They'll remove old equipment, replacing it with the new HVAC system components. Drop cloths will protect floors, and plastic covers will shield furniture. Installation typically takes a day, possibly extending to the next, depending on complexity. Unforeseen repairs may arise, such as ductwork or structural issues. Trustworthy contractors adjust estimates accordingly for a comprehensive replacement process.
Enjoy Your AC!
After the HVAC installation, the technician will conduct pressure and vacuum tests. They charge the system with new refrigerant and thoroughly inspect it. The system is then activated to ensure proper functionality of new components. Your HVAC contractor will guide you through the system's operation and address your questions.
