When you’re ready to replace your AC and heating system, a little effort from you will help installers complete the job quickly and without complication. To get your new HVAC system up and running as soon as possible, know what to do and the mistakes to avoid to facilitate a smooth installation.

Do:

Clear the area.

The installers need plenty of space to work. Clear a parking spot as close to the house as possible so they can carry equipment and tools in and out unimpeded. Remove all furniture, rugs, and other stuff from the work site, and make arrangements for kids and pets to be out of the way.

Choose the right size.

Don’t order an AC and heating system without conferring with your contractor. The wrong size will not operate efficiently. Your home won’t be comfortable, and your utility bills will be high. Schedule an in-home consultation with your HVAC contractor before choosing system size and features.

Don’t:

Forget to clean the ductwork.

When you have your system installed, have the duct system cleaned. The installation will likely kick up a lot of dust and contaminants. To safeguard the air quality in your home, ask your contractor to remove all contaminants from your ducts and clean vent covers while on-site.

Leave debris in your yard.

The central air unit will likely be installed outside in your backyard. Clear all refuse from the area so the installers can move around freely. Put outdoor furniture in a garage or shed, trim back landscaping, and collect debris. If there is snow on the ground, shovel it out of the way for a clear work site.
