We are at a different time.
Heatwaves and winter storms are only getting longer and occurring more frequently. It is putting a tremendous strain on AC units and making replacing them a more crucial practice. It is never fun replacing a unit because there always remains the strain of surviving without a unit, whether for a day or two.
Units have always needed to be replaced because of weather events or because their lifespan has run out. However, the rapid continuation of weather events, whether hot or cold, is putting tremendous strain on units and breaking down to the point of no return. No longer are we in the days of saying it depended on who made the unit to decide how long it would last. All units are exposed now and must be watched carefully in case a call is made to replace it.
Air conditioner replacement process.
Replacing a unit has several steps involved in it. These steps are needed to ensure all safety guidelines are met and that the unit is installed correctly and works to perfection. The HVAC contractor and his crew of one or two assistants will progress through the steps as follows:
- Setting up the area by placing a drop cloth/ or protective paper. Moving furniture or other household items would be exposed to dust from the installation.
- Cut the power to the unit and begin removing the old unit.
- If Ductwork is required, the assistants will begin to fix the duct.
- Then once the duct is fixed or replaced, the crew begins installing the new unit, and depending on the scope of the project, this can take place both inside and outside the house and could last the entire day and into the next.
- Once completed, pressure and vacuum tests are performed. If everything comes back good, a refrigerator is added, and tests are done once again to ensure all moving parts are working appropriately.
Replacing an A/C unit is a delicate procedure only trained professionals should attempt. It can involve working in tight spaces and with electrical wiring; if one of these steps is not performed correctly could result in an issue setting back the installation.
