So, you’ve decided to upgrade your home with a brand-new heating and cooling system – congratulations! Whether replacing an old unit on its last leg or installing one for the first time, this investment is a big step towards comfort, energy efficiency, and peace of mind.
But what exactly should you expect when the big day arrives? Let’s walk through the process together so you can be prepared and know what to look out for.
1. The Initial Consultation
Before the installation even begins, you’ll have an initial consultation. At Standard Heating, Cooling & Plumbing, this is a chance to get to know each other and understand your needs. During this meeting, we’ll assess your home, discuss your comfort preferences, and determine the right system for your space. This is also the time to ask any burning questions you might have, like “Will my energy bills go down?” or “How loud will it be?”
2. Preparing Your Home
Once the paperwork is signed and the installation date is set, it’s time to prepare your home. Think of this as tidying up before a guest arrives – only in this case, the guest is a new system. Ensure the area around your current system is clear of any clutter, and if the installation involves ductwork, ensure the path is accessible. Your installation team will appreciate the extra elbow room.
P.S. If you have pets, consider keeping them in a separate room or with a friend during the installation!
3. The Installation Day
Our team will arrive on time and ready to work when the big day arrives. Here’s a general idea of what will happen:
- System Removal: If you’re replacing an old system, the first step will be to remove it. This involves disconnecting the unit, carefully removing it from your home, and ensuring it’s properly disposed of according to local regulations.
- New System Placement: The new unit will be brought in and placed in its designated spot. This could be in your basement, attic, or outside your home—wherever your system lives, we’ve got it covered.
- Connecting the Ductwork and Electrical: The team will connect the new system to your existing ductwork and electrical supply. If any modifications are needed, such as sealing or adjusting the ducts, this will be done to ensure optimal performance.
- Thermostat Installation: If you’ve opted for a new thermostat (which we highly recommend for better control and energy efficiency), it will be installed and connected to your system.
- Testing and Calibration: Finally, the system will be powered on, and our technicians will conduct a series of tests to ensure everything is working perfectly. This includes checking airflow, temperature control, and leaks.
4. System Walkthrough and Education
After the system is up and running, we don’t just pack up and leave. Standard Heating, Cooling & Plumbing believes in empowering our customers with knowledge. We’ll walk you through the new system, show you how to use the thermostat, explain the maintenance schedule, answer any questions, and give you some tips on how to get the most out of your new system.
5. The Comfort Test
Now comes the fun part—enjoying your new heating and cooling system! You’ll immediately notice the difference in comfort and efficiency. And if you ever encounter a hiccup down the road, don’t stress. We’ll be here for regular maintenance if you have any questions and to ensure your system keeps running smoothly for years to come.
