Your AC Installation Preparation Checklist

Scheduling an AC replacement is not as easy as it may seem. When you upgrade and replace your existing AC unit, you need to make ample preparations to ensure that your home is ready for the installation procedure. Doing so will help the installation team do the job quickly, efficiently, and correctly.

From Insta Aire, here are the things you need to do to prepare for an AC installation.

Get a Full AC Consultation First

Before scheduling the installation date, ask for a thorough inspection of your home’s current AC system, ductwork, and discuss any zones or areas of your home that may be harder to cool than others. This simple consultation can help your AC professional determine if your home needs to have the ductwork replaced or modified as well as if the cooling system can meet your needs.

Check Interior and Exterior Spaces

During the consultation, ask what type of obstacles they can see in your home that might hinder the installation. If your interior air handling unit is located in a storage space, you may need to move items to allow for full access to the unit. Doorways, as well as hallways and stairs, should be easily accessible. On the exterior of your home, you may need to trim hedges, bushes, trees, or other plants to allow easy access during installation. These steps will also help to improve access for AC services in the future once your new unit is operational.

Day of Installation

Make sure you have adequate parking available for the truck or van used with room for the professionals to unload and load the units. Any pets should be safely contained in a room or kennel crate away from the work zones. Follow all these and all work and AC maintenance on ductwork and electrical hookups should be completed before installation day.

Installing a new AC unit will upgrade the value and comfort of your home. If you are in need of AC repair in Elizabethtown, KY, or considering replacing your AC, turn to Insta Aire. We’re sure to give you the most value for your money.
