For most homeowners, the thought of replacing their AC with a new one is not a welcomed thought. This is a large investment and one that most homeowners aren’t eager to make. However, when your older AC unit finally kicks the bucket, replacement is eminent. No one wants to go without a functioning AC throughout the summer months. If you are getting ready for an AC installation, there are some things that you need to do to get ready. Ambient Heating & Air Conditioning is here to share some tips to help homeowners prepare for their new AC installation.

How to Prepare for Your AC Installation Appointment

To make sure you are ready for the technicians to install your new AC, you will want to make sure to follow these crucial steps:
– Clear the Day for AC Installation: If you lead a busy life, you will want to make sure to circle the installation day on your calendar. You need to make sure that you have room in your schedule to be accessible on the day of installation. For most AC installations, it takes anywhere from 4-8 hours to complete. This means that you are more than likely going to need to schedule the installation on a day that you aren’t at work and will be home to answer any questions the technician might have.
– Make Space to Install New AC Unit: Not only will you need to make space in your schedule for an AC installation, but you will also need to make sure that there is space for them to work as well. The area around your HVAC system needs to be cleaned and cleared out so that the installation can take place. The team of technicians will remove the old equipment from the space, but if you have boxes of clutter piled up around and near the old unit, you will need to clean it out so they have room to work. Not only will this allow them the room that they need, but it will also ensure that your belongings are safe from any possible damage that could take place throughout the process.
– Make Accommodations for Kids & Pets During AC Replacement: If you have kids and pets in your home, you are going to need to consider them and their needs during the AC installation process as well. Both kids and pets are naturally curious. While this is fine on any normal given day, it can be dangerous if they get too close to the technicians that are installing your new unit. Make sure that they are either out of the house or have a safe space that they can spend their time that day that is away from the AC installation process.
