When you’ve scheduled heating installation, you want to prepare so your HVAC contractor can complete the job efficiently. If you’ve never had a new system set up in your home or business, it helps to know what to expect. Reading Heating & Air Conditioning in Cincinnati, OH, has been installing heating and cooling systems for over 70 years and explains details of the process.

3 Expectations for Heating Installation

Home Protection

Your HVAC contractor will place protective coverings throughout your house to prevent damage to floors, furniture, and other areas that could be affected by furnace replacement. After they complete the installation, they will haul away and dispose of the old equipment as well as sheet metal scraps and other remnants of their work, restoring your home to its previous state.

Electricity Shutdown

Your technician will shut off your home’s power source before starting work so they can disconnect your old furnace and place the new one. You will be without electricity until the heating installation is complete and all wires and lines are connected correctly. If you are getting a new thermostat, it also must be installed before power is restored. After everything is set and your electricity is turned on, your HVAC contractor will test the system to ensure proper performance.

Minor Disruption

Technicians must maneuver around your house to remove your old unit and transport your new one inside. They will use a variety of tools during heating installation and probably will create a lot of noise. Once the process is finished — typically after several hours — your technician will ask you to sign off on their services for billing purposes.
