Do You Know What to Look for in HVAC Installation?

Mistakes made during HVAC replacement or installation void the factory warranty, cause your new unit to underperform, and could even pose serious health risks. Therefore, when replacing your aging heating and cooling system, it’s essential to do some research on the type of system you should buy and the considerations to make before installing it. Below are some important factors you should consider for successful HVAC installation.

The HVAC Unit’s Size

It’s crucial to get the right-size HVAC unit for your home. An oversized unit will short-cycle and waste energy. If you get a unit that’s too small, your home’s air won’t be adequately conditioned. An HVAC technician will help you get the correct unit size after considering several factors, such as your home’s square footage and the position and the placement of windows and doors.

Best Location for HVAC Installation

AC systems normally produce some noise. As a result, you’ll want to avoid installing your unit’s outdoor components near bedrooms.

Energy Efficiency

Energy-efficient HVAC systems like variable speed systems may be more expensive than their less-efficient counterparts upfront, but they pay for themselves over time. High SEER ratings and Energy Star certification also indicate a system’s energy efficiency. Cleaner indoor air will make your HVAC system work more efficiently, so you may choose to install an air purifier.

Ductwork

Before installing a new central HVAC unit, you’ll need an HVAC technician to ensure your ducts are connected properly to prevent leaks and efficiency issues. Your ductwork may have to be modified or you may need to install new ductwork to accommodate the new unit.

The Right Professionals for HVAC Installation

Regardless of the quality of the heating or AC system you purchase, it won’t work as expected if it isn’t installed correctly. Make sure you hire a licensed HVAC contractor to install HVAC equipment correctly and according to the manufacturer’s recommendations.
