Investing in a new air conditioning system is a big decision—and knowing what to expect during the installation process can make the experience far less stressful. We want homeowners to feel confident and prepared every step of the way.
Whether you’re replacing an aging unit or installing a brand-new system in your home, our team follows a thorough process to ensure safe, efficient, and long-lasting results. Here’s what you can expect when you schedule AC installation in Greece with our experienced professionals.
Step 1: In-Home Consultation and System Recommendation
Every successful AC installation begins with a personalized assessment. One of our licensed technicians will visit your home to evaluate its size, layout, insulation, and existing HVAC setup. This step helps us determine the ideal system size and type for your unique needs, ensuring energy efficiency and consistent comfort.
We’ll also discuss any specific preferences you have regarding energy savings, noise levels, or smart home compatibility. Our goal is to recommend the best AC unit for your home and budget.
Step 2: Pre-Installation Preparation
Before installation day, we’ll coordinate with you to choose a convenient date and walk you through what to expect. We’ll also verify that all permits, parts, and equipment are ready to go. If ductwork modifications or upgrades are needed, we’ll include that in the plan.
On installation day, our team arrives promptly, fully prepared with everything needed for the job. We take care to protect your home, using drop cloths and shoe covers, and cleaning up thoroughly when the work is done.
Step 3: Removal of the Old Unit
If you’re replacing an existing AC system, the first task is safely disconnecting and removing the old unit. This includes draining refrigerant according to EPA guidelines, disconnecting electrical connections, and removing mounting hardware.
Our team handles all disposal, so there’s no mess or hassle left behind for you. If any issues with your ductwork, wiring, or insulation are discovered during this step, we’ll let you know right away and offer solutions.
Step 4: Installing the New AC System
With the old unit removed, we begin installing your new air conditioner. This step includes:
- Positioning and securing the indoor and outdoor units
- Connecting refrigerant lines and electrical wiring
- Ensuring proper airflow and duct connections
- Charging the system with refrigerant and checking pressure levels
Everything is done to code, with precision and care, to ensure the new system runs at peak efficiency from day one.
Step 5: System Testing and Final Inspection
Once installation is complete, we thoroughly test the system to make sure it’s running properly. We check airflow, measure refrigerant pressure, verify thermostat communication, and look for any potential issues.
Before we leave, we’ll walk you through your new AC system, show you how to operate the thermostat, and offer tips on maintenance to extend the life of your unit. We’ll also answer any questions you may have and make sure you feel confident using your new system.
