You can keep reading to learn our recommendations for preparing for an AC upgrade. Then give her team a call for your air conditioning install in Sanford.
Understand the Process
The first step in preparing for an AC installation is to understand exactly what will happen on the day of the project. When we complete your initial assessment, we will talk to you about the steps we anticipate needing to complete. For example, we may need to replace the base that you were an indoor or outdoor unit sits on based on its age and condition.
We may also need to repair or replace ductwork, electrical lines, and other aging connections. We will also talk to you about how long we expect the project to last and what areas of your home we will need access to as we install and test your new unit.
Make Room for the Work
Taking out an older air conditioner and replacing it with a new model is a very big project. We will bring all of the tools and supplies we need, but the one thing that you can provide for us is space. We need plenty of room around the indoor and outdoor units to work.
Inside your home, you can move furniture and other household items so that our team can maneuver through easily and get the systems in and out quickly. The same goes for the areas outside of your home. We need a clear path around your house and the area where your outdoor unit is located.
Plan for Kids and Pets
It’s natural for children and pets to feel curious about the AC installation process. But the bottom line is that the project can be dangerous for them. We would prefer that you make plans for children and pets so that they have somewhere safe to stay while we take out your old air conditioner and replace it with the newer model.
If they don’t have a friend or family’s house to go to for the day, please plan to keep them in a designated room or area that is away from the space our team will be working in. This helps us to work more effectively and also ensure the safety of everyone, both our team and your family.
Be Available
It’s a good idea for you to take the day off and be home while our team is working. Although we do complete a meticulous inspection of your older unit so that we know what we need to do for the new installation, inevitably things do come up from time to time.
We may need to pivot and adjust our plans. This may require your permission to make adjustments to our original installation plan, and we would prefer that you were there to give us guidance so we can get everything done both quickly and accurately.
