HVAC replacement is an important investment into your home and requires preparation to ensure the installation process goes smoothly. Here are the steps that should be taken to prepare a home for HVAC installation.

  1. Choose the right location for the unit

The HVAC system is composed of multiple parts. The compressor typically sits outdoors, with the indoor unit typically located in the garage. Replacing the HVAC system is an opportunity for homeowners to think about what changes they’d like to make to their setup and discuss their options with a trained HVAC professional in Orange County. 

  1. Clear the installation area

Once the locations have been chosen, clear away household items, debris, and furniture so that the installers can go straight to installation and save time on the entire process. 

  1. Turn off gas and electricity

Before HVAC installation can begin, the technicians will turn off gas and electricity to the installation area. This is necessary to prevent accidents and injuries during installation. An Orange County HVAC technician will locate the controls for the gas and electricity and turn it back on once the system has been installed. 

  1. Inspect ductwork

Prior to scheduling an installation date, the HVAC technician will inspect the ductwork to make sure the system is compatible with the existing ductwork. He will also check for leaks and make recommendations for repairs so that the new system can function efficiently. In some cases, the ductwork may need to be modified.

  1. Review HVAC installation plans

After the inspection, the HVAC technician will make the necessary plans for installation and explain how the new system will function. The installation plans will show where the individual units will be installed and what modifications will be made during the installation process.

  1. Prepare for unforeseen circumstances

Homeowners may need to anticipate extra costs to replace worn out or outdated materials and parts. A professional HVAC technician in Orange County will do his best to ensure homeowners are prepared for installation and answer any questions they may have.
