The installation of a HVAC system can bring needed relief to the summer heat that accumulates in homes. Once you have found a system that generates the cooling power needed, it is time to get the home ready for this new system. Here are some things that should be done prior to the installation of the system.
One item on the checklist to accomplish before the HVAC System Installation in Winter Haven FL is making sure there is adequate space to accommodate the unit. Most units are located on the outside of the home. If you have close neighbors or a homeowner’s association, there are regulations on where this unit can be placed. In addition, a concrete pad is needed in soft soil or muddy conditions for support of the unit. Since it will take time to get the concrete poured, this item should be taken care of in advance.
Another item on the checklist is to have the electrical system evaluated for the additional load. Since this is going to be a relatively sizable load on the system, a separate breaker is needed. Separating it out will prevent the breakers from becoming overloaded and creating a fire hazard. If the panel cannot handle the upgrade, it will need to be replaced before the system goes in. Otherwise, there will be no power to the unit.
The duct system should also be checked prior to the HVAC System Installation in Winter Haven FL. Old ducting should be sealed or replaced to maximize efficiency. If the home doesn’t have adequate ducting in areas, the duct lines will have to be run before installation. The ducting system may also require cleaning if it hasn’t been done in awhile. This will ensure that the air flow is adequate to all areas of the home and that a comfortable temperature can be maintained throughout the home.
A new HVAC system will immediately improve the atmosphere in the home. By getting these checklist items taken care of, the installation can go smoothly and quickly.
