No matter how well you care for your home’s heating system, it will eventually need to be replaced. However, if you’ve never replaced your HVAC system, you may not know how best to prepare your home for a heating installation appointment. Here are a few simple tips to ready your living space for the installation of a new heating and cooling system.

3 Heating Installation Tips for Your Home

1. Recognize It’s Time to Replace Your Heating Unit

Heating InstallationBefore scheduling a heating installation appointment, you must be able to recognize when a new unit is needed. If the old system has constant problems or you’ve noticed a jump in your home’s energy consumption, it may be time to upgrade. Newer systems won’t have the wear and tear that older units do, reducing the need for repairs and immediately enhancing your home’s energy efficiency.

2. Schedule an Inspection First

Before deciding on a system, make sure the unit you choose is powerful enough to heat your home effectively. Choosing a unit that’s too small or too large can leave your home feeling uncomfortable. An experienced heating and cooling specialist will inspect your home and recommend a model to keep the space cozy year-round. 

3. Have a Plan

When the installation appointment is scheduled, develop a plan for the day of the appointment. Clear a path from the main door to your existing system and remove any boxes or clutter that may have accumulated around your old unit. Find a secure place to keep pets while work is being performed, and make sure you have time to stay for the entire appointment. While your contractor will work quickly, they will not rush the installation. Safety comes first, which means installation may take additional time if unexpected problems or issues arise.
