- On the day of your heat pump installation our professional technicians will load your heat pump and other accessories necessary for your installation and contact you with your preferred method to tell you we’re on the way and our estimated time of arrival.
- Upon arriving we will assess the job site and begin setting up our work sites. A heat pump installation needs access to at many areas of your home including:
- Your current heat pump outside
- Your indoor evaporator coil and blower
- Your thermostat
- Your electrical panel
- Your crawlspace, basement, or attic
- After turning off the power to your current heat pump system our installation crew will disassemble and remove your old heat pump and other equipment being replaced. We are careful to use drop cloths and shoe protectors and we also move small household belongings in the work are to a safer area. However, the process may create dust so please cover any heavy furniture that worries you.
- We will then begin installation of your new heat pump. Many systems can be installed in one day but because every home is different sometimes a job will extend into a second day. If major ductwork modifications are needed your Comfort Advisor and you will discuss that process together so you can know an estimate of how much time it might take. Existing homes can be complicated and we are always mindful of both your time and your home’s needs.
- When everything is installed and up to snuff we will turn your heat pump on and check it’s refrigerant levels.
