A new heating and cooling system installed by your local HVAC contractors not only keeps your home comfortable throughout the year, but it also avoids the efficiency problems old systems are known for. Enjoy reducing your monthly energy bills and your household carbon footprint with an energy-efficient system. A little prep work streamlines installation day for a hassle-free experience.

Do:

Select the right size.

Inform your HVAC contractors of your home’s square footage to discuss the right system size for your heating and cooling needs. A system that’s too small works extra hard to provide the right temperature, resulting in extra stress and wear as well as higher energy bills. A system that’s too large heats or cools your home too quickly and shuts off before removing humidity from the air. It also short cycles to increase your energy bills.

Clear the area.

Make a clear path for your HVAC contractors so they aren’t falling over toys, bumping into tables, or dealing with anything else that can get in their way. Clear the inside as well as the outside of your home to help expedite the installation and keep the contractors safe from tripping hazards. The outdoor unit area should also be completely free of leaves and other debris to provide an open space for the contractors to work in.

Don’t:

Wait until the last minute to schedule the installation.

Avoid scheduling your installation too close to when you will start using it regularly. Doing so may result in scheduling at an inconvenient time that’s disruptive to your workday or neighbors. It can also cut the time needed to find different, temporary accommodations for children and pets, so they aren’t in the way or subject to injury during the installation.

Forget to clean the ductwork.

Schedule ductwork cleaning in the weeks before your HVAC contractors arrive, so you aren’t circulating impure air throughout your home. Ducts collect dust, animal dander, mold spores, and pollen; these are especially harmful for older family members or those with allergies and asthma. Ductwork cleaning also seals any leaks to avoid inefficiency issues and higher energy bills.
