What’s Included in a Full HVAC System Installation
When you choose a full HVAC system installation with us, you’re investing in high-quality, efficient, and reliable equipment. Our expert team ensures that every detail is covered to maximize comfort, efficiency, and longevity of your new system. Here’s what’s included:
1. HVAC Equipment
We provide the essential components of your HVAC system, including:
- Condenser Unit: The outdoor unit that cools and circulates refrigerant to provide cooling inside your home.
- Evaporator Coil: Located inside the home, it absorbs heat from the air and works with the condenser to cool your living space.
- Furnace: The heating unit that provides warmth during colder months, using either gas or electricity.
- Air Handler (optional): For homes that don’t use a furnace, the air handler helps circulate warm or cool air throughout the house.
2. Ductwork
If needed, we will install new ductwork or modify your existing ducts for optimal airflow. Our technicians also ensure that all ducts are sealed properly, preventing air leaks that can reduce the efficiency of your system.
3. Thermostat
We will install a new thermostat, often a smart thermostat for more control over your system. This helps you maintain optimal temperature and improves energy efficiency.
4. Refrigerant Lines
Refrigerant lines are installed to connect the outdoor condenser to the indoor evaporator coil. This allows the refrigerant to travel between the two components, enabling the cooling process to occur efficiently.
5. Electrical Connections
Our team will handle all necessary electrical connections to ensure that your system is safely powered. This includes proper wiring and possibly upgrading your circuit breakers to handle the load of the new system.
6. Insulation
To maintain energy efficiency, we will add insulation to your ducts and refrigerant lines. Proper insulation helps reduce energy loss, keeping your system running smoothly and efficiently.
7. Ventilation System
We ensure that your HVAC system is properly vented. This includes venting for gas systems, as well as optimized air returns to ensure proper air circulation throughout your home.
8. System Calibration & Testing
After installation, we calibrate the system to ensure it’s optimized for your home’s size and needs. We run thorough system tests to check for proper airflow, temperature regulation, and any potential leaks.
9. Filter Installation
We provide and install high-quality air filters to improve air quality inside your home. These filters help protect your HVAC system and keep your air clean.
10. Warranty Registration
Once your system is installed, we make sure the warranty is registered with the manufacturer, protecting your investment and ensuring that parts and labor are covered.
11. Disposal of Old Equipment
If you are replacing an old system, we handle the removal and disposal of the outdated equipment in an environmentally responsible way.
12. Additional Options
Depending on your needs, we can include additional options such as:
- Zoning Systems: To create separate temperature zones in your home for better control and comfort.
- Air Purifiers and Humidifiers: To improve indoor air quality.
- Smart Home Integration: Connecting your HVAC system with your smart home for remote control and automation.
13. Post-Installation Check
Finally, after your system is installed, we perform a post-installation check to make sure everything is running properly. We’ll also give you a brief demonstration on how to use your new system efficiently and answer any questions you may have.
HVAC Equipment Comparison: Choose the Best Fit for Your Home
Feature | Good | Better | Hybrid | Best |
---|---|---|---|---|
Condenser Unit The condenser unit releases heat from the refrigerant to the outside air, allowing for cooling in the home. Higher efficiency models perform better while using less energy. | Basic Standard Efficiency Model | Mid-Range High Efficiency Model | Hybrid Heat Pump Unit (Energy-efficient with backup gas furnace) | Premium High-Efficiency Inverter Model |
Furnace The furnace heats air and distributes it throughout your home. Higher efficiency furnaces use less fuel to achieve the same heating output, saving on energy bills. | 80%+ Efficiency Furnace | 96%+ Efficiency Furnace | Gas Furnace paired with Hybrid Heat Pump for Efficiency | 98% Efficiency Variable-Speed Furnace |
Energy Efficiency Rating Energy efficiency is rated by SEER2 (Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio 2) or AFUE (Annual Fuel Utilization Efficiency). The higher the rating, the more energy-efficient the system. | Up to 14 SEER2 | Up to 16 SEER2 | Up to 18 SEER2 (Hybrid Heat Pump, optimized for both cooling & heating) | Up to 20+ SEER2 |
Warranty A warranty is a guarantee that the manufacturer will repair or replace parts of the system if it malfunctions.
