When it’s time to take the plunge and replace your HVAC unit, we understand that you might have questions and concerns. Read on for useful information on what you can expect when replacing your home or office HVAC system.
The Day of Installation
When you work with seasoned HVAC professionals, you can trust that the job will be done right from
start to finish. Firstly, the technicians and support staff will make sure that you have an understanding
of how the unit will function before they complete the job. They’ll go through how to replace filters,
adjust the temperature, and answer any questions you may have on install day.
Duration
Of course, like anything in life, the time it takes can vary from job to job, but in general, you can
expect to have a new HVAC unit installed in one day. Now, if you live in a massive mansion, things
could take a few days, as you’ll need a lot more ductwork, separate units spread out throughout the
property, and numerous thermostats.
Be patient and the end result will totally be worth the wait. Make sure to clear your calendar when
having a new setup installed to avoid a traffic jam of technicians, friends, and family members in your
driveway for a BBQ that you forgot to reschedule!
All kidding aside, mark your calendar and be sure to communicate with your HVAC company before
the installation day to ensure smooth sailing.
Unforeseen Circumstances
It’s important to discuss all of the pertinent details about the home or office before your installation.
Even when you dot your “i”s and cross your “t”s, things can get wonky. During the installation, your
technician might encounter trouble with faulty electrical wiring, or rot and mold issues in your walls.
It’s good to keep this in mind before proceeding with a major undertaking such as this. Call and ask as
many questions as you need to in order to feel comfortable moving ahead with the new HVAC install.
Things may arise, but in the end, a reputable contractor will steer you in the right direction.
Testing the New Gear
Once the install is complete, the technician will perform vacuum and pressure tests to make sure
that everything is running properly. Afterward, they’ll add refrigerant and inspect the work for any
issues prior to leaving your facility. The system should be run for a bit before the techs head out, so
be sure to ask them any questions you have at that time. If you hear or smell anything that seems
odd, speak up and ask them to explain what’s going on.
Following up
After the unit has been safely installed, the company you work with will call to check in and see how
everything is going. At this point, you should be enjoying the benefits of investing in a brand new
HVAC system that was professionally installed. This is also a great time to discuss setting up a
regular ongoing maintenance schedule with your HVAC company.
