As a homeowner, there are several repairs that are being made to your home constantly. This is part of maintaining your house. Some of these repairs can be larger than others though. One that most homeowners aren’t excited about is an AC replacement. This is a large repair that can be a large investment. As your home ages, your HVAC ages as well. Over time, your AC gets less and less efficient. Finally, you might find that it is more cost effective to replace your AC rather than limp along your old one. Hal Mechanical is here to share some tips to help homeowners prepare for the day that their new AC is installed.
Clear the Day of AC Replacment
The first thing that homeowners need to do to prepare for their new AC installation appointment is to make themselves accessible. The average AC replacement will take anywhere from 4-8 hours to complete. This means that you are more than likely going to need to clear your day to be available should the technician need you. It is helpful to have homeowners around as they can often answer any questions that technicians might have throughout the process. Make sure to schedule your appointment on a day that you have off work, or in some cases, homeowners might need to take the day off to accommodate the install.
Clean Around HVAC Area
Another thing that needs to be done to prepare for the installation of your new AC is to make sure the space around your HVAC is cleared out. It is normal for people to use their HVAC room as a storage room as well. If you have clutter or boxes that surround your unit, you will need to clear them away so that the technician has room to work. You want them to be able to navigate their way around the space without causing any damage to your belongings. Making sure that your belongings are removed from the area will ensure this happens.
Make Accommodations for Kids & Pets
By nature, kids and pest are curious. If there is a stranger in the house working on your new AC installation, they will naturally want to be around the process to check it out. This can be dangerous for the technician as well as the child or pet. Making sure that your kids and your pets are kept busy, away from the installation, is a must. You might even want to make arrangements for them to spend the day outside of the house. This will ensure the installation is a smooth one where no one gets hurt.
