With summer weather already here in Oregon, you’ll want to ensure you have a way to stay cool and comfortable. Installing an air conditioning system is the best way to do this! Keep reading for details on what to plan for when it comes to installing an air conditioning system for your home or business.
Choose the right system.
When you are considering an AC install, you’ll need to consider your home or commercial building’s square footage. The cooling power of your unit is measured in tons of cooling, which means it correlates with the size of the space. If the system is too small or too large, it could be inefficient or cause a spike in energy costs. During the quote process, our team of technicians will discuss which options are best and help provide choices that fit both the layout and your budget.
Know what goes into the costs.
The complexity of your home’s ductwork, layout, and the labor needed during the installation are all factors into the cost. If your existing ductwork needs to be modified, or if repairs or other changes need to be made to accommodate a new system, this could be an added expense. Keep in mind that there are often rebates, deals, and other promotions that are provided regularly. We are also proud to provide a variety of convenient financing options to make the cost more affordable for you.
Know what installation day involves.
Make sure the exterior area is clear and ready for the new system. Our team will remove any old air conditioning equipment and dispose of the old unit. We’ll work to prepare the air ducts and ensure the space is properly prepared for ventilation. We will install the outdoor unit and indoor evaporator coil, install the condensate drain, and ensure all of the innerworkings of the machine looks good. Once everything is set up, we’ll start to connect everything. This is a very detailed process and can take some time to ensure everything is safely connected and working properly. Depending on the complexity of the project, it may take a full day, sometimes longer – from start to finish.
Once your new system is installed, you can enjoy the cool comfort it provides for many years to come! Remember, regular maintenance is key to the longevity of the installation. By keeping your AC in top condition, you can avoid expensive repairs and get the most out of its life.
