If your air conditioner is not up for the job of cooling your home for the summer, it\u2019s time for a new system. The great news is that new air conditioners are more effective and more efficient than ever before. Even when your old unit was brand-new, it used more energy than today\u2019s systems do, and old units get progressively less efficient.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Your new air conditioner is going to be fantastic. You\u2019ll be so happy with your choice. But before you can bask in the cool air, you have to get that system installed. Do you know what to expect? We\u2019ll tell you what your technicians will be doing during your air conditioning installation, how long it will take, and how to streamline the process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Out with the Old<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Before your new air conditioner can be installed, the old one has to be taken out. First, your installation techs will assess the area around your indoor and outdoor units. They\u2019ll make a clear plan and communicate that to you. And they\u2019ll do any preparation that\u2019s necessary where they need to work. Only then will the old units be disconnected and moved out of place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In with the New<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The new units will be put in place and connected. It\u2019s important for them to run for a little bit, to ensure that they\u2019re working properly. During this time, your technicians will be showing you how to use the system, giving you your owner\u2019s manual, and tidying up any mess. If you\u2019re still exploring options, consider reading about the benefits of Daikin mini-split systems<\/a> for a flexible and efficient cooling solution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Installation Timeline<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If major modifications are required, you\u2019ll know this ahead of time. This could be the case if you have an older home that has never had central AC before, for example. But only in instances when significant preparations are necessary will your installation have to take place over more than one day. For a smooth process, check out our guide on how to schedule air conditioning installation<\/a> for tips to streamline your experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If that\u2019s not the case for you, plan on having the whole day available for your installation. It should not take more than eight hours. Many installations take considerably less than that. Sometimes, the whole process can be complete in just four hours or so.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Streamlining Your Installation<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Wouldn\u2019t it be nice if your installation went so smoothly and easily that it was done in a surprisingly short window of time? We can help you accomplish that. You just need to take care of a little bit of preparation, so when your technicians arrive, they can get straight to work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

First, clear the way outside. This means removing any clutter or obstacles between where the truck will park and the door the installers should use, as well as between the truck and the outdoor AC unit. Rake, trim, or hose away any debris, plants, or mess from the outdoor unit so there\u2019s plenty of room to move units around. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Second, clear the way inside. From the door to the indoor unit, make sure nothing is in the way. Clear some elbow room for working around the indoor unit as well. This will ensure that your installers don\u2019t have to spend anywhere near as much time on the preparation part of the process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Finally, consider your pets. We would feel terrible if we stepped on the paw or tail of a curious pup, or accidentally allowed an indoor cat to scoot out. Keeping them shut elsewhere will keep them safe, as well as speed things up by allowing the technicians to focus on the job. If you\u2019re preparing for the installation of a ductless system, you might also be interested in learning whether ductless mini splits have better energy efficiency<\/a> compared to traditional options.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
