You\u2019ve chosen a new air conditioning system for your home. These days, new air conditioners work so well and are so efficient, we\u2019re sure you\u2019ll be delighted with it. And you\u2019ve made an appointment for the installation! That\u2019s great. But do you know what to expect?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It may have been quite a long time since you\u2019ve had an <a href=\"\/air-conditioning\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">AC system<\/a> installed. With proper maintenance, your last one might have lasted twelve years or so. Or perhaps you purchased your home with an air conditioner and have never been through this process. We\u2019d like to tell you what to expect at your AC installation appointment and what you can do to help things go as smoothly as possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2>The AC Installation Process<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>When your installation techs arrive, they\u2019ll go over the plan with you first, so you\u2019ll know exactly what they\u2019ll be doing. Then they\u2019ll prepare the area to make sure there\u2019s room to work and that anything easily damaged will be protected. They\u2019ll remove your old air conditioner and take it out of the house, bring in the new one, and get it in position and connected.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But the job\u2019s not quite done yet. They\u2019ll start it up and make sure it\u2019s running properly. They\u2019ll go over the operating instructions with you so you\u2019ll be comfortable using it. And they\u2019ll clean up the area and leave things just as they were before. This is also a great opportunity to ask any HVAC questions that have been on your mind before your technicians leave.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>How Long AC Installation Takes<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>With a straightforward installation like the one described above, it could take as little as four hours to complete the entire process, but we always recommend making sure you have the day free. If significant modifications of your home are needed, for example to the area where the unit will be or to the electrical wiring to facilitate the connection, it can take longer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The only time an air conditioner installation is likely to take more than a single day is when something major needs to be done before the actual installation can take place. An example of this would be if your home has never had ductwork and you\u2019re having that installed, or if your ductwork is in poor condition and you\u2019re having much of it replaced.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>What You Can Do to Make AC Installation Go Smoothly<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Before your installation, make sure to clear the way from your driveway to the locations of both the indoor and outdoor AC units. Make space to work around those units, moving furniture out of the way or trimming hedges if necessary. And when your technicians are about to arrive, shut your pets in another room. We\u2019d hate to let an indoor pet out or step on a tail or paw while working.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once your <a href=\"\/service-areas\/wayne-nj-plumbing-hvac\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">air conditioning installation in Wayne, NJ<\/a> is complete, you\u2019ll be relaxing in comfort all summer for many years to come. Don\u2019t forget to schedule AC maintenance each year to keep your system in tip-top shape!<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><a href=\"\/contact\/send-message\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>Contact MarGo Plumbing Heating Cooling Inc. today<\/strong><\/a><strong> with any questions about AC installation!<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We\u2019d like to tell you what to expect at your AC installation appointment and what you can do to help things go as smoothly as possible.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[70],"tags":[143,183],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.margoplumbing.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1512"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.margoplumbing.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.margoplumbing.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.margoplumbing.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.margoplumbing.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1512"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/www.margoplumbing.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1512\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1515,"href":"https:\/\/www.margoplumbing.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1512\/revisions\/1515"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.margoplumbing.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1512"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.margoplumbing.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1512"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.margoplumbing.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1512"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
