When summer time arrives, you better be ready and have your Air Conditioner in the best shape possible. Not getting it properly ready for the summer season can keep you from getting the relief you need from intense sweltering heat. If your unit is older, it may be time to consider having it replaced, so you can have dependable operation and increased energy efficiency. The installation of a new AC unit is generally easy, but you can prepare yourself ahead of time and make it less stressful on you and the installation team. Consider these 3 items before your installation appointment, so you can ensure you get the cool air you deserve as soon as possible.
Placement of the Outside Unit
Make sure the company you hire knows where to place your AC unit during installation. While the most typical installation will be in the location of your old unit, they can move it to another site if you give them adequate notice. Don’t let the placement of your unit bother you, when you can have it replaced and installed in a location that works for your needs.
Access to Interior Air Handler
The team will need access to your air handling unit. Make sure you have any personal objects out of the way, and that the installation team has unobstructed access to it. They will also need to come and go freely, so make sure you put any pets you may have in a separate room, so you don’t have to worry about the technicians accidentally letting them outside.
Placement of Thermostat
Make sure you consider where you want your thermostat to be. It should be in the main area of your home, and not near any doors or windows. If you don’t like the current position of your Air Conditioner thermostat, consider asking the company installing your new unit what would be involved in moving it to a new location that will better suit your needs.
