Installing a new HVAC system in your home can improve comfort and save money on energy bills. A skilled HVAC contractor can handle the heavy lifting for you, but there are a few steps you can take before they arrive to make it easier. That way, they can get the job done quickly and ensure your new system runs properly.

3 Steps to Take Before Having a New HVAC System Installed

1. Relocate Pets

Installing new HVAC equipment can be noisy, and your contractor will probably need to move in and out of the house several times throughout the process. This can sometimes upset dogs or cats, so have them spend time elsewhere for the day.

Ask a friend or neighbor to watch them, or find a doggy day care or boarding service that can take them for the day so they’re not stressed or in the way.

2. Clear the Driveway

HVAC contractors often have to carry in lots of heavy equipment for installations. They’ll probably need to go out to their vehicle several times, so allowing them to park in the driveway or the closest possible spot can make the process easier and save time.

Park your own car on the street or a farther spot to give them the room they need to get the job done efficiently.

3. Remove Obstructions

Before they install your new HVAC system, your contractor should let you know the areas where the new equipment should go. For example, they might be installing a new AC condenser unit outdoors or a new furnace in the basement.

To remove complications, ensure those specific areas are clear before your contractor arrives. You may have to move furniture away from the walls or trim bushes or trees near the spot where the new unit will go.
