There are some things that homeowners can do to help the installation process be as smooth as possible. Absolute P&M Services is here to share some tips for homeowners to help them prepare for their AC installation day.
Tips to Prepare for AC Installation
It is important that homeowners do a few things to ensure their AC installation is a smooth process. Here are some tips to help homeowners prepare for the big day:
– Be Available: The day that your HVAC company schedules for your AC installation needs to be a day that you are available. You will need to clear your calendar for that day. It is important that the homeowner is around so that any questions about the other systems in your home can be answered, should they arise. For most AC installations, the process should take between 4-8 hours to complete. Make sure you’re around during that installation window.
– Clear the Area: You will need to remove your belongings from the area when the AC installation day arrives. The technicians that are installing the new unit will need to have as much space as possible to get the job done. If you have other belongings stored in the same room as your AC unit, you will need to remove them before your appointment. Make sure the outdoor space is clear and ready for the outdoor unit to be replaced as well.
– Arrangements for Kids & Pets: An AC installation isn’t just going to interrupt your daily activities, but it can be stressful for kids and pets as well. If your pets have a difficult time having strangers in your home for multiple hours, you might want to see if your neighbor or family member would be willing to keep them during installation. You can also put your pets in a kennel if they have one so that they are contained during the process. Kids can be curious as well during an AC installation. It is important that kids are kept away from the area during installation to avoid any accidents or injuries. They obviously don’t have to leave the home, but it is important for parents to keep an extra eye on them during installation.
