Is it time for a new air conditioner? Installing a new unit can exponentially increase the household’s comfort level while reducing energy costs. Here are some tips for preparing for AC installation in Durham for households that have already purchased a new AC unit.
Clear the Schedule
Everyone leads busy lives with daily schedules chockfull of activities. However, it’s essential to be available all day on AC installation day. Unlike air conditioning repairs, installation services can take all day. A lot goes into installing a new AC unit, including removing the old unit and retrofitting duct work and metal sheeting to fit the new unit. The installers sometimes make several trips back to their offices to get additional parts or tools. To ensure a smooth installation, make sure a decision-making adult is home all day, and don’t schedule Zoom calls or meetings—enjoy the day off!
Declutter Before the Installers Arrive
Many AC units are located in spaces used for storage, like basements or utility closets. Clean these areas before the installers arrive, so they have plenty of room to move around. Don’t forget to clean up around the outdoor unit too. If there’s landscaping in the way, consider cutting some of it back. These simple tasks go a long way toward making installation day go smoothly and helping installers do their jobs better.
