AC Installation in Peoria, AZ

What’s Involved With a New Air Conditioner Installation?

The first step in replacing your old air conditioner is finding a replacement unit that will work appropriately in your home. A unit that’s too small won’t be able to keep up with your needs and one that’s too large is just overkill. Our professional team will help you decide what air conditioner is best for you based on your home’s square footage, ceiling height, size of your household, and your budget. Once that’s settled, it’s time to begin the installation process.

Removal of the Old AC Unit

Before our crew can install your new air conditioner, they’ll have to remove the old equipment. To make this process easier and faster, it’s important that you clear the area before we arrive. We’ll disconnect the power to the AC, remove any refrigerant, dismantle and remove the unit from the space. We’ll maintain a clean, organized worksite, so you don’t have to worry about hazards that can hurt you, your family, or pets.

Duct Repair or Modification

In some cases, it’s necessary to repair, replace, or modify the ductwork before the new unit can be installed. This will often involve a technician gaining access to your attic and crawl spaces. Again, we need clear access to the area in order to perform this necessary part of the job. During our initial inspection and consultation, we’ll discuss this with you so there are no surprises when the work begins. 

Upgrades to Wiring and Circuit Breakers

It’s common for us to have to do minor updates to the wiring and circuit breakers that control the air conditioner. This is because your new air conditioner may require more power than your old unit, or because the wiring is old and unsafe. If major changes to your home’s electrical system are necessary, we may need to call in a licensed electrical contractor, but again, you’ll be informed of this before the work begins.

Installing the New Air Conditioning Unit

Once the old AC has been removed and the ductwork has been taken care of, it’s time to begin the installation of your new equipment. We always follow the manufacturer’s specifications in order to ensure the unit will operate properly once installed. Our crew may need to install components both inside and outside of your home, depending on the type of air conditioner you choose.
