Everyone involved wants your HVAC installation to go smoothly. Your HVAC installers don’t want any surprises, and you want your new system to seamlessly integrate into your home so that it provides reliable, efficient, long-lasting temperature control and improved air quality.
Therefore, in order to make the installation process problem-free, there are four key tasks to cross off your to-do list as soon as possible:
1. Get Stuff Out of the Way
First, make sure you clear a path for the techs who will handle the HVAC installation services. From the entryway to every work area, they should be able to get through without bending and leaning over or around obstacles. You may even need to clear paths in your attic or near walls where the crew will have to put in ducts, refrigerant lines, wiring, or thermostat controls.
As part of that process, any valuables you want to keep safe, be they art, furniture, keepsakes, or anything else of the sort, will need to be moved to a new location as well.
Once your interior is taken care of, head outside. Unlock gates and block them open, move your patio furniture, and trim any bushes or trees that may be in the way or drop leaves and debris into the new HVAC unit. Look for any trip hazards, too, as you don’t want anyone falling as they walk around your property.
2. Take Children and Pets Out of the Home
Children and animals cannot get in the way during installation. Not only can they seriously slow down the process, but the tools and materials the techs use can also pose considerable danger should your kids or pets come into contact with them. As the installation progresses, the crews may need to cut into drywall or flooring, which can expose harmful construction materials and contaminants to the air as well.
If you have separate rooms or a fenced-in yard, those can be good places to take your children and pets. If not, see if any neighbors or family members can watch them for the day.
3. Share Your Schedule
Service techs can only install HVAC systems in houses they can actually get into. Therefore, you must go over your schedule with the installation team to ensure they know exactly when they can and can’t enter your home. If you need to leave suddenly or be away from the house during normal working hours, make sure the team has your phone number to get ahold of you.
4. Discuss the Installation Plans
Discuss the installation procedures with your installer, garnering a general idea of where the crew will be during each part of the installation. Going over these details ahead of time will prevent miscommunications and help the workers know where they need to go and how long they have to work, as well as what to do and who to contact in case of an emergency.
