If you’re interested in purchasing a new HVAC system for your home, you may be curious about what you can expect throughout the process. After all, this is a major investment in your home, and you want to make sure you know what to expect. At Preferred Home Services, we want you to be comfortable and confident in knowing that choosing us was the best decision and that your home is in the capable and caring hands of a team that will exceed your expectations.

As such, we want to make all customers, both existing and potential, completely aware of the process for purchasing a new air conditioner. We want to ensure no surprises, including unexpected visits, phone calls, or steps to your installation. Here is just a brief explanation of how we install new HVAC systems for our customers.

Our New System Installation Process

The steps of installing a new air conditioning and heating system include:

  • The initial meeting: We conduct a full inspection of your existing system and complete a heat load calculation. This generally takes 30 to 90 minutes and can be done at your convenience.
  • Signing the contract: We custom-design the perfect air conditioning and heating solution for your home along with the exact cost and installation timeline. Together, we’ll then go over your paperwork, work out financing, and schedule your installation date.
  • Installation day: Our team arrives at your home ready to install your new system. Afterward, we’ll review your new thermostat and operation instructions with you. We’ll also provide warranty and rebate information and your operations manuals. Then, when it’s all said and done, you’re ready to enjoy your new system!

Preferred Installation Process: Step by Step

The Initial Meeting

The first step of the process is our initial meeting. This means we’ll send one of our representatives out to you to inspect your existing system, both indoor and outdoor, for everything from type, sizing, ductwork, and other specifications for your home. We go through your home with you, room by room, and discuss hot or cold spots, airflow issues, and even aesthetic needs. We also complete a heat load calculation, which measures how much heat your home is gaining or losing depending on the season.

From there, we’ll be able to help you choose the best system that’s perfectly sized for your home and provide you with an estimate for the replacement service. These typically take anywhere from 60 to 90 minutes, and we always make sure to do this at a time that’s convenient for you.

Signing the Contract

When we’ve gathered all of the necessary information, we’ll custom-design your air conditioning and heating system that perfectly fits into your home. This allows us to determine the exact final cost of your system installation and determine how long the replacement will take. While most projects can be done in about a day, some require more extensive work that may take a few days or longer.

From there, we’ll go through the paperwork with you; we’ll work out financing, help you with any rebates and warranties, and then schedule your installation date.

Installation Day

When your installation day arrives, our team will show up at your home with your new heating and air conditioning equipment, plus all the tools and materials necessary to complete the job. Our team of installation technicians is all highly trained, talented, and efficient, which allows us to back up all our work with guarantees. We always treat your home with the utmost respect, and we always make sure we keep our work area clean.

Once the work is complete, and your new system is up and running, we will go over your new thermostat with you, teach you how to operate all of the new features, and give you any other important information that you need to know. You’ll also receive a welcome packet that’s packed with warranty, rebate, and equipment information, and you’ll be given an opportunity to sign up for our Preferred Partner Plan to maintain your new system and take advantage of valuable benefits.

After that, your installation is complete, and you’re ready to enjoy your new HVAC equipment!
