There’s no living in Nevada without a functioning HVAC system in your home. If you’re ready to schedule your Las Vegas AC installation with professionals you may wonder what they’ll be doing. What goes into installing an air conditioner? Let’s look at a step-by-step guide right now.
Step #1 Removing Your Old System
The first step isn’t about your new system at all, but actually your old one. Whether it’s broken, old, or simply not as efficient as you want the air conditioner to be, it’s got to go. While this is happening, your air conditioning installer will take care to protect the surrounding area and clean up any debris caused by removal. As long as you hire a quality, reputable company, your HVAC installer will also handle the disposal of your old air conditioning unit. You don’t need to worry about handling this yourself.
Step #2 Evaluating Your Home’s Energy Infrastructure
Following the removal of your old unit, the HVAC technician will then perform a complete evaluation of your home’s existing cooling infrastructure to look for air duct leaks or other issues that could affect the performance of your new system. You don’t want to spend the time and money replacing a unit only to still have problems due to something else. If repairs are needed, you will be notified before they are addressed.
Step #3 Installing the New Air Conditioning System
Next, installation of your new air conditioner can begin. This requires new piping or electrical and ductwork connections, depending on your old and new air conditioners and whether the hookups are the same. All electrical connections are checked and refrigerant will be added to the system as per the manufacturer’s specifications. Your new air conditioner will be tested to ensure it works properly so you can begin using it as soon as your technician is finished.
Step #4 Inspecting of Your Thermostat
A new air conditioning system typically comes with a new thermostat. This will be done at the same time to ensure your new unit is running properly and that you understand how to control the new unit. Don’t let the HVAC technician leave without learning everything you need to know how to do on the thermostat!
Step #5 The Professional’s Maintenance Suggestions
Once the air conditioning system is installed, your technician will go over any basic maintenance tasks you’ll need to do — like changing the air filter — and how often these tasks should be completed. Your HVAC installer will let you know how often professional care is needed. You can also opt to schedule your first AC maintenance service at this time so you don’t forget. They will also provide you with the answers to any additional questions you may have.
Following these few simple steps, your home will be cool and you’ll have a brand-new air conditioner!
