What to Expect During the HVAC Installation Process
Installing a new HVAC system is a significant investment that requires careful planning and professional expertise. Here’s a breakdown of what to expect during the installation process:
Free Estimate
A professional technician will assess your current system and the installation site. This ensures we offer you the best options while preparing our team with the necessary tools and information for a seamless installation day.
Approval
You’ll receive your estimate promptly via email or text, with an easy-to-use button for approval. Once approved, we’ll schedule an installation date that fits your schedule—whether it’s as early as the next day or the following week.
Preparing Your Home
To ensure a smooth process, we recommend preparing the installation area in advance. Remove any valuable or fragile items from the vicinity, and ensure pets and children are kept away from the work area. This protects your property and ensures everyone’s safety.
Installation Day
On installation day, your Blue Dot team will arrive on time and ready to work. We value communication and always take steps to respect your space. Our installers will lay down drop cloths to protect your floors and set up tools for an efficient installation.
The process begins with turning off the electric and gas supplies to your old system. The team will carefully remove your old HVAC unit, ensuring refrigerant is safely recovered and disposed of in accordance with EPA guidelines.
Preparing the Site for the New System
If necessary, the team will prepare the installation site. This may include leveling the ground or removing obstructions around the outdoor unit. Proper preparation ensures your new system operates efficiently and avoids future complications.
Installing the New HVAC System
Once the site is ready, we’ll install your new HVAC equipment. The team will secure the unit on its leveled pad and connect refrigerant lines, electrical wiring, and the condensate drain line. Each step is crucial to ensuring your system operates effectively and efficiently.
System Start-Up and Testing
After installation, the technician will start up your system and perform rigorous testing. This includes checking the thermostat, verifying airflow, and ensuring your system heats or cools as expected. The technician will also walk you through system operation, including thermostat settings and maintenance tips.
Enjoy Your New Comfort
Once installation is complete, you can enjoy the enhanced comfort and energy efficiency of your new HVAC system. To keep your system running at its best, consider enrolling in Blue Dot’s Energy Savings Agreement Plan, which includes annual tune-ups and priority service.
