What You Should Know before Setting Up a Central Air Conditioning System

Prior to you tackling the installation of your AC on your own, you need to know what the project entails.

Preferably, it's best to work with a local Shelton professional; however, if you insist on doing it yourself, here's what you need to know prior to starting.

1. A/C Setup (Do's and also Don'ts)

When it comes to A/C installation, there are specific things you must do, and also some you should not.

Do not begin any Air Conditioning installment job without considering airflow. This might lead to a system that isn't the appropriate size. This is one of the most important items to know before installation. Many individuals work with a qualified local Shelton specialist that will certainly address this as well as ensure you purchase the right equipment.

Air flow is necessary for having your Air Conditioner job effectively, so investing in having a specialist come in and inspect the unit is best to ensure you are not overpaying for something that you will not need.

2. Exactly how to set up a window unit.

Prior to you start installing an A/C system, ensure the window is close to an outlet.

Next, you'll want to review the maker's instructions to make certain your window as well as area is suitable for the unit. The side panel and climate strips are necessary for making sure your window is sealed and air is not escaping.

Setting up a window Air Conditioning unit can be complicated as well as in some cases dangerous. The device may be heavy for you and also there are sharp items on the back. This can be a concern for many people, so hiring a professional is sometimes the best approach.

3. How to Install An A/C Unit

This may seem obvious, but before you install the new unit, you need to remove the old unit.

You'll also want to do some research about the best unit for your home. If you aren't sure, feel free to call and ask questions. Once you've found the best AC unit for your home, have a professional install it for you to cut down on the chance of installing it wrong.

4. Air Conditioner Setup Cost.

In Connecticut, installing a new air conditioner unit can range between $2,000-13,000.

This is for central air. For a window unit, the investment is significantly lower. Many times, it will only be a few hundred dollars.

5. Central Air Conditioner Setup.

When it comes to central air conditioning installation, you will need to keep in the mind the size of your house. This is important as the square footage will determine the type of unit that is best suited for your house.

If it's too small your home won't cool down enough. If it's too big you may end up wasting money you don't need to. A professional can walk you through the best air conditioner for your home and get it installed properly for you!

6. Central Air Conditioning

If you would like the convenience of having your entire house cooled versus a single room, installing a central air system is the best approach.

A home window A/C device only cools off one area. While you may be able to install a window AC unit if you're handy, it would be best to leave the central AC unit to an AC installation contractor.

This was my first time with 1-800-Plumber Air of Pearland. I called with a minor issue with the dishwasher drain hose and asked that a tech be dispatched on Saturday so that I could be home from work. Chad was scheduled between 8am & 10am today (Sat) and arrived just before 9am. Chad was very knowledgeable and explained to me the entire process. He also answered my many many questions about what he was doing as he was doing it. I'm a smart guy but know very little about plumbing. I felt very comfortable with Chad doing the repair. The long and the short of it, 1-800-Plumber Air of Pearland has a new longtime customer and I will request that Chad be sent if possible the next time I have a plumbing issue.

Great Work!

This was THE most painless repair experience! We had a leak in a pipe behind our water heater, spewing water out into space, ugh. Joe and his apprentice, Dan, were here in about an hour or so. They were both so very friendly from the moment they showed up at the front door! After they determined the problem, we discussed the needed repair, and then they began to replace the pipe(s) behind the water heater. This was pretty much an all-day job and I can honestly say it was no problem having them in my home. They were not only professional and courteous employees; they were two very kind individuals, who were also comfortable and friendly around my crazy dogs! I have had nothing but the finest experiences with this company and cannot recommend them highly enough! They are the best!
