Setting Up the Workspace
On the day of the appointment, we first set up our workspace. If we need you to move around any furniture or make space for our team to work, we can talk to you about those needs ahead of time. We will place dropcloths on the floor to limit the impact on your home and keep the floors clean.
Out With the Old
Once we are set up and ready to go, it’s time to take out your old system. First, we will turn off the electricity and gas leading to your existing unit, and then we will methodically take it apart, piece by piece and disconnect everything.
With your old system out of the way, we can better assess the connections leading into your home. If we need to replace any of those connections or upgrade them based on the needs of your new heater, we can do that. Our goal is to set your new heater up for success. This can also mean upgrading or repairing your existing ductwork. If duct cleaning or resealing is needed, we’ll talk to you about this in advance so that you know it’s a part of our installation process.
In With the New
It’s finally time to install your new heater! We will take our time and get the new installation just right. After all, the more precisely that your installation is completed the better it can operate over the years to come. Mistakes that happen during installation can have lifelong impacts, and we don’t want to rush the process for that reason.
Once installation is complete, we will walk you through how to operate and care for your new unit. Even if you think you understand how to work a heater, there’s always something to learn! Plus, taking excellent care of it from day one will help it to be energy efficient for longer and enjoy a better lifespan.
