While the summer may seem far away, now is actually the perfect time for air conditioning installation. By preparing your home now, you can ensure you won't be unpleasantly surprised by the first warm day that's around the corner. If you're getting your unit installed soon, simplify the process by taking the following precautions.

How to Ready Your Home for Air Conditioning Installation

1. Take Measurements

First, ask for measurements of your new air conditioning system if you don't have them yet. If the unit doesn't quite fit into the space you've allotted, you'll have to make adjustments. Giving advanced notice of this additional work will allow the contractors to secure the necessary materials and keep the installation on track.

2. Clean Ducts

Dust tends to collect within ductwork while your unit is out of commission. Removing the vent covers and vacuuming out the interiors should remove a good portion of the buildup. Also, have your contractors perform an inspection before installing the new unit to verify the ducts are sufficiently clear.

3. Clear Clutter

Find out where the workers plan to set up and remove anything that might get in the way. Pull furniture away from the walls and place loose items in another room. You can also increase convenience by parking in the street so the workers can use your driveway.

4. Trim Shrubs

Check to ensure there are at least two feet of clearance around the outdoor compressor, which is usually found along the side of the house. Trim back the shrubs and pull any weeds that are obstructing access.

5. Secure Pets

For everyone's safety, keep your pets in an enclosed space during the installation. If the process takes longer than anticipated, keep them entertained by taking a walk or spending time with them.
