Here\u2019s how to get ready for your new heat pump installation<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Step 1: Make Time for Heat Pump Installation Day<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The first thing you\u2019re probably asking is how long this process will take. Well, as long as you don\u2019t need anything extra done, such as having old ducts replaced, it\u2019ll be a pretty simple one-day installation appointment. It shouldn\u2019t take more than eight hours. But if you\u2019re lucky\u2014and well-prepared\u2014it can take as little as half that time!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You see, the first thing your installers need to do is assess the areas inside and outside of your house where they\u2019ll need to be moving equipment and doing work. They\u2019ll tidy up, clear away, and move things so they\u2019ll have plenty of room to take the old units out, bring the new ones in, and get everything connected and set up. And you can do some of that in advance, to reduce the time they\u2019ll spend.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step 2: Prepare Outdoor Space for Equipment Setup<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Start by assessing where everything will happen. What\u2019s the best spot to park, and the best door to enter with large equipment? Make sure there\u2019s nothing between those two places for anyone to bump into or trip over. Then, make sure it\u2019s equally easy to get to the outdoor unit of your old heat pump or air conditioner. If your previous system had trouble switching between modes, you\u2019ll want to avoid repeating that. Learn more about why your heat pump won\u2019t change to heating mode<\/a>. Rake debris, trim plants, or whatever\u2019s necessary to make plenty of space to work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step 3: Ensure Indoor Access to Air Handlers<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

From that door you\u2019ve decided would be the best entry point, which way will the technicians need to go? Clear a wide path for them to move through, so removing the old indoor unit and bringing the new one in will be a breeze. Don\u2019t forget to ensure that there\u2019s space for the installers and their tools as they get the indoor unit set up. Proper clearance not only makes installation easier\u2014it also contributes to your system\u2019s long-term performance. Learn more about how ductless heating works and why it may be right for you<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step 4: Keep Pets Away for a Smooth Installation<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

We love animals, and we\u2019re sure your pets are an absolute delight! But your furry (or feathery) family members can get stressed by this sort of commotion. And we would hate to pinch anyone\u2019s tail in the door as we\u2019re carrying equipment through! The best plan is to put pets in a place that\u2019s entirely out of the way of all the activity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
