As temperatures continue to rise, it’s becoming increasingly important to have a reliable and efficient air conditioner in your home, and when it comes to installing a new AC unit, it’s important to choose a reputable and experienced company like The Katy Plumbing Company. It can be overwhelming when installing a new air conditioning system, but our team of experts is here to guide you through the installation process and ensure that your new air conditioner is installed correctly and functioning at its best.

Pre-Installation Steps

Before starting the installation process, there are a few steps that need to be taken to ensure that everything goes smoothly. First, our team will conduct a thorough inspection of your home to determine the best location for the AC unit. This will take into consideration factors like the size of your home, the layout, and the existing ductwork. We will also check the electrical system to make sure it can handle the new air conditioner’s power requirements.

Next, we will help you choose the right size and type of air conditioner for your home. It’s important to select an AC unit that is the right size for your home as an oversized or undersized unit can lead to inefficiency and higher energy bills. Our team will take into consideration factors like the climate of your area, the size of your home, and your cooling needs to recommend the best AC unit for you.

Installation Process

Once the pre-installation steps are completed, our team will begin the installation process. The first step is to install the outdoor unit, also known as the condenser. This is where the refrigerant is cooled and then circulated back into your home. The condenser needs to be installed in an open area with good air circulation as it generates heat while running.

Next, we will install the indoor unit, also known as the evaporator. This is typically installed in the attic or a closet and is responsible for blowing cool air into your home. Our team will ensure that the evaporator is installed in a central location to ensure even cooling throughout your home.

After the outdoor and indoor units are installed, our team will connect the two with refrigerant lines and electrical wiring. This is a crucial step in the installation process, and it’s essential to ensure that all connections are secure and sealed properly. Any leaks can lead to inefficiency and potential damage to your AC unit.

Final Steps

Once the AC unit is installed, our team will test the system to ensure that everything is working correctly. This includes checking the refrigerant levels, airflow, and temperature control. We will also check for any potential issues and make necessary adjustments to ensure that your AC unit is functioning at its best.

After the installation is complete, our team will walk you through the operation and maintenance of your new air conditioner. It’s essential to have a basic understanding of how your AC unit works and how to take care of it to ensure its longevity and efficiency. We will also schedule routine maintenance visits to keep your AC unit running smoothly.
