Best Air Conditioner Installation in Westminster
The first step is to select the right air conditioner size, done through a special calculation performed by HVAC technicians. If the system is too large for your home, it will frequently short-cycle, causing increased electricity bills. When systems are too small for homes, they struggle to cool effectively, increasing electricity costs.
JW Mitchell Heating & Air Conditioning wants you to understand the signs that you may need a new air conditioner installation.
- Reliance on an older system
- Increased electric bills
- Expensive and frequent repairs
- Refrigerant issues
- Weakened airflow
- Outdated technology
It is wise to begin shopping for a new air conditioner as soon as your old system has served you for ten years, which is close to the end of the average lifespan. Look for a system with a high SEER rating and an extended warranty, and rely on professionals for the installation.
After you’ve selected your new air conditioner, our HVAC technicians will remove the old system to accommodate the new one. They will disconnect the electrical and ductwork components and dispose of your old system according to legal requirements.
Site preparation is an essential part of the installation process. It involves preparing the platform for the outdoor unit. Our technicians will also prepare the electrical connections and modify any ductwork if necessary.
Our team will then install the indoor unit, which includes the evaporator coil and air handler. The outdoor unit installation includes the condenser coil, compressor, condenser fan, and expansion valve. We will also hook up the electrical, refrigerant, and drainage systems.
We’ll next perform careful testing to ensure the new air conditioner works effectively. Our technicians will check for proper refrigerant pressure, airflow, and thermostat communication. The last installation step is the final inspection and cleanup. Our team will instruct you on using your new air conditioner and discuss maintenance plan options. Feel free to ask any questions during this time.
An air conditioner installation requires approximately four to eight hours, depending on your new AC system, ductwork, and electrical system. In most cases, the installation takes place in one day, though larger systems may require a multi-day installation. We will give you as much information as possible about what to expect in your AC installation timeline.
