Air conditioner installation or replacement might be pretty exciting for you. It\u2019s a once-in-a-decade experience. But for us, well\u2026 we\u2019re excited that you\u2019ll have a new system that perfectly fits your comfort needs. It might not seem quite as exciting, though, to HVAC technicians who go through this process every day! That\u2019s why we\u2019re the perfect people to answer any questions you have.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since it has been many years between your last AC installation and the next one, the process could easily be confusing or overwhelming. But we\u2019re here to help! How should you prepare for your AC replacement appointment? What should you expect? Here\u2019s everything you need to know.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

\"This<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The AC Replacement Process<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The first step in your air conditioning journey happens long before the technicians show up to put in your new AC unit. You\u2019ll need to determine what size system you need and choose the specific model. This needs to be done with the assistance of an HVAC expert, so you\u2019ll end up with an air conditioner you\u2019re happy with for many years to come.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When the technicians do arrive with your AC replacement, they\u2019ll prepare the areas where they\u2019ll be working. Then they\u2019ll turn off and disconnect your old units, indoors and out, and move them out of the way. The new units will be positioned, connected, and turned on. While the system runs for a bit, to make sure all is well, you\u2019ll be provided with the owner\u2019s manual and a quick tutorial on how to use the system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The AC Replacement Timeline<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Perhaps the most important thing to know is how long all this will take. After all, you\u2019ll need to clear your schedule and be available for the technicians on installation day. The first thing to be aware of is that there are sometimes circumstances which require a multi-day process. This will generally only happen when significant work (say, duct replacement) needs to happen first. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once any preparatory work is out of the way, on the day of your installation, you should be prepared to be home for eight hours or so. Will it really take that long to pull out your old air conditioner and put in the new one? Maybe not. It could take as little as four hours! But plan to be home the whole day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

AC Replacement Home Prep<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

We can help you increase the odds that your installation will be quick and easy. Remember that we said your technicians\u2019 first job is to prepare the areas where they\u2019ll be working? Streamline that for them by taking care of that before they arrive. Consider where they\u2019ll park, where the indoor and outdoor units are, and which doorway will be easiest to maneuver through.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Clear pathways through everywhere they might need to go, so nobody will trip on a flowerpot or lawn flamingo. Around the indoor unit, make sure there\u2019s plenty of space for the technicians and their tools. Around the outdoor unit, trim plants back and rake debris. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Finally, we ask you to be aware of your pets. While our technicians would love to meet friendly, furry faces, they\u2019ll work more quickly without any kitty curiosity or puppy love. And we absolutely don\u2019t want to risk stepping on a tail or paw. Keep your furbabies shut in another room during your installation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
