Imagine for just a moment that you’re in need of surgery and you have two options as to who can provide the surgery…
Option 1: Your neighbor down the street that watched a documentary on modern medicine.
Option 2: An experienced surgeon that has successfully operated on thousands of patients
You obviously know who you would want to do your procedure, and in much the same way, you’ll want an experienced and licensed HVAC technician to install your air conditioning unit. Just as having a novice perform surgery on you is dangerous, so is having an inexperienced technician installing your AC unit. Furthermore, improper installation may damage your cooling system, reduce its efficiency, which will raise what you pay to cool down your space, and it’s simply not the best position to be in…We’re here to help you understand the process of installing an air conditioner, especially if it’s your first time going through this. One thing to note is that each HVAC professional has their own method in getting an AC installed, but there are general steps that will be good for you to recognize.
Whether it’s for a home or a business, both have options in choosing equipment as it comes to air conditioning:
Split systems:
Split systems are among the most popular AC systems in the U.S., and this system uses both outdoor and indoor components. Ductless mini-split air conditioners: Ductless mini-split systems will either have an outdoor heat pump or air conditioner, which determines the amount of cooling delivered in each area or room apart from the other air handlers.
Packaged air conditioners:
Packaged air conditioners combine a heat pump and electric air conditioning or heating plus cooling equipment.
Heat pump:
Heat pumps are also a different type of split system, and the pump can supply heating for the winter, and cooling for the summer. You’ll also need to be aware of other factors that arise as a result of the type of air conditioner considered… For example, places without existing ductwork can continue to use a ductless AC unit. For places with existing duct systems, you’ll want to install a ducted air conditioner. One thing to note here is that the ducts that exist may be in need of alterations or repairs in order to work with the new system. Lastly, if you want to control your indoor air quality you may need a dehumidifier. Dehumidifiers can work with your ac unit in order to improve your indoor air quality. Similarly, if you need to decontaminate your home or business, an air purifier will be an add-on you’ll want to be installed.
