Having your old air conditioner replaced is quite the process. First, you have to determine that it\u2019s not worth repairing any longer. Then, you have to decide what sort of system to replace it with and select the specific model. Finally, you must make an appointment to have that system professionally installed. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Done all that? Great! But you\u2019re not finished yet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The appointment itself can be a bit of a mystery to homeowners who haven\u2019t been through it before, or to folks whose last experience with AC installation<\/a> was twelve or more years ago. What should you expect? How long will it take? And what can you do to prepare your home for your air conditioning installation? We\u2019ll tell you everything.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

What to Expect During Your AC Installation<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

When your technicians arrive to do the installation, they\u2019ll assess the lay of the land first. They\u2019ll make sure they know where everything is and that the way is clear to carry AC units back and forth. They\u2019ll let you know exactly what the plan is, and then they\u2019ll prepare the area, to make sure they won\u2019t cause unnecessary mess or damage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The old units, both indoors and out, will have to be disconnected and carried out to make room for the new units. Those will be brought in and connected. The technicians will start up the air conditioner and make sure it\u2019s running perfectly. They\u2019ll give you the owner\u2019s manual and answer any questions you have, they\u2019ll clean up the area, and then they\u2019ll be on their way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How Long AC Installation Takes<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s best to clear your schedule for the whole day, as AC installation can take up to eight hours. Sometimes, though, it can be done in as little as four hours! The only times when it will take more than a single day are situations where significant modifications are needed, such as if you\u2019ve never had central AC before, or if your ductwork needs major repairs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How to Prepare Your Home for AC Installation<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

To help your installation go as quickly as possible, you can do a little work ahead of time to make things easy for your installers. First, consider parking. Where will the truck go? Which door will it be best to carry appliances in and out of? Make sure there\u2019s a clear path free of obstructions all the way from the parking spot to the indoor unit, and space to work indoors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Also, clear a path from the parking spot to the outdoor unit, moving anything it would be easy to trip over or bump into while moving the units. Clear away everything that might be around the outdoor unit: leaf litter, lawn clippings, plants growing close against it. Trim back any shrubs to make space to work and to maximize airflow to your new unit. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Finally, you\u2019ll want to consider your pets. We\u2019d hate to step on a paw or feel responsible for an indoor cat getting out. They\u2019ll be safest\u2014and the installation will be easiest\u2014if you close them in a room in a different part of the house while the technicians are there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now you should be all ready for your air conditioning replacement in Snellville, GA<\/a>! But if you do have any other questions, don\u2019t hesitate to ask.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
