When looking for an air conditioning replacement, check for energy efficiency ratings and Energy Star certification. These ratings guarantee the system works at maximum efficiency and provides cost savings throughout its lifetime. Additionally, consider the climate around your property to ensure the system can handle local temperature variations. One of our skilled HVAC contractors can help you determine the best system based on your home's unique variables.
To ensure that you get a fair price and high-quality work, it is recommended that you obtain multiple estimates from reputable HVAC contractors. To do this, create a list of licensed and insured contractors in your area who are known for their trustworthiness and expertise. Then, arrange for a consultation with each one to discuss your project proposal and assess their qualifications.
Before installing a new HVAC system, the first step is to remove the old one. This involves draining the refrigerant from the outside unit, which must be done carefully and in accordance with industry regulations. Professional HVAC contractors are trained to handle this process safely to avoid any incidents that could result from improper disposal.
The technicians will then examine the ductwork and available space before installing the new HVAC system. They will measure the area where the new unit is going to be installed to make sure it will fit correctly and identify any obstructions that may cause issues.
After removing the refrigerant and inspecting the area, the technicians proceed to remove the old HVAC unit. This involves disconnecting it from the ductwork and removing it from the house. The time it takes to complete this process depends on the location of the HVAC system.
To protect the flooring and household items, the technician will lay drop cloths and protective paper and move any belongings near the work area to a safe location. The installation crew will then start the installation process, which could take more than a day if major ductwork repairs are needed. The installation of the new system will involve installing several components, including the AC unit, the evaporator, the outside compressor, the condensing unit, the refrigerant supply lines, the thermostat, the condensate drain lines, and the condensate pump. The installation may require unexpected repairs that were not included in the initial estimate, such as replacing damaged ductwork, electrical upgrades, or drywall repairs.
Since every home is different, matching the existing ductwork to the new unit can be tricky. The team may need to make adjustments to the ductwork to ensure the new system functions correctly. A qualified technician or engineer will oversee this process to ensure the proper connections are made and the system runs smoothly.
Your HVAC installation team will set up the new service disconnect box and wiring components, along with making necessary connections.
After the new HVAC unit is installed and the refrigerant system is cleaned and refilled, the technicians will examine the unit, make necessary adjustments, and conduct tests on the airflow connection and strength while searching for any manufacturing defects. Once the HVAC system is working correctly, the team will provide you with a tutorial on how to operate the system.
