While most AC companies will handle the heavy lifting of the installation process, there are a few ways that residents can contribute. By double-checking the plan and removing barriers, you can make the process more streamlined. Here’s a rundown of how you should prepare for installation day.

What You Should Do in Advance of AC Installation

1. Check on the Load Calculation

A technician will need to calculate the appropriate load the system can offer, and they’ll factor in the climate, number of residents, and square footage of the house. Before installation begins, call your AC company and ask them to walk you through the load calculation so that you won’t end up with a system too big or small for your needs.

2. Clean & Seal Ducts

Even an elite central air system will process dirty air if your ducts are filled with grime. Before installation, have a specialist professionally clean these passageways so that you can enjoy clean air. It’s also worth asking them to seal any holes, which will allow your new system to operate at peak efficiency.

3. Create a Pathway

Take a few minutes to clear the space in front of all your current AC units so that technicians will have room to work. Remove furniture that’s in the way and take down valuable wall art that’s hanging under the unit. Don’t forget to check the outside units, and remove any lawn equipment and obstructions, like bushes and branches. Ensure that the path to your home is clear so that the technicians can move in and out with ease.
