Whether building a new home or replacing existing HVAC equipment, there are some duties homeowners should perform to ensure a smooth A/C or heating installation. Your time is valuable, as is your HVAC contractor’s time. Following these steps will save all parties involved a lot of time and unnecessary frustration.

Clear the Area

Give your contractor sufficient room to work on your heating or A/C installation by picking up any clutter and moving furniture in the work area. Also, make sure there’s a clear path from the entrance so they can carry in the equipment.

Choose the Right Equipment

Imagine arriving upon the day of installation only to find the equipment you’ve chosen is the wrong size or is incompatible with your existing ductwork. Avoid this hassle by reviewing all the specifications with your provider well before your A/C or heating installation.

Keep Kids & Pets Away

It’s natural for pets and small children to be curious about what your HVAC contractor is doing, but it can be a nuisance at best and a danger at worst. Set them up in a bedroom or back area of the home before technicians arrive, or make arrangements for them to be out of the house during the installation.

Clean Your Ducts

The last thing you want is to burn out your new HVAC system’s fans and clog its filters by running it through dirty ducts. Schedule a cleaning ahead of the installation to protect the new equipment and enjoy better air quality.
