If you’re planning to replace your HVAC system, chances are that you’re doing it for the first time. It only happens once or twice that one needs to replace the AC in their home. If that’s the case, you’re probably not sure of what to expect. Whether your old central air conditioner has stopped working or you want to upgrade to a better system, we’ve compiled everything you need to know when getting AC replacement services in Denver CO.
Replacement Cost
Before hiring someone for the replacement, you should ask for HVAC replacement installation costs from a reputable HVAC contractor. The contractor will measure square footage of your property and get the load calculations according to Denver’s warm and dry climate, your property’s size and the structure’s ability to contain conditioned air. Following this assessment, your contractor will suggest the type and size of the HVAC system that would be best for you. This way, you will get an idea of the cost you would have to incur for AC replacement.
Find an HVAC Contractor
You need to find a reliable, experienced HVAC contractor with a current HVAC license and insurance. We, at Sparks Heating and Air, specialize in providing HVAC replacement services in Denver CO with years of experience.
Next, you would want to make sure that your replacement estimate is signed and dated with all areas of system replacement covered such as job start date & completion, every task of the job mentioned, price range of each task, additional material costs, clean up costs and what’s included in the warranty.
Replacement of HVAC System
When you’re getting your HVAC system replaced, it’s recommended that you should get both the compressor and air handler updated. Moreover, you should get the ductwork inspected to find out if it needs replacing. Replacing the whole system will give you maximum system efficiency. Although it might cost you more money upfront, you end up saving money in the long run as the entire AC unit will be perfectly in sync.
Length of Replacement Installation Job
Generally, HVAC system replacements can be done in a day. However, if you opt for other advanced additions, it could take another day for installation. Your HVAC contractor will typically assess your home, give you an estimate of time and start setting up their equipment. We, at Sparks Heating and Air, offer full HVAC replacement services within a short timeframe so you don’t have to disturb your schedule.
Installation
To be prepared for the installation, you must know that the HVAC contractor’s crew will protect your flooring in their work areas by covering them with drop cloth. They will also move your furniture and household belongings out of their work areas to another safe place. You must know that some dust can be created during the process, so you must cover heavy furniture and other household items that can’t be moved.
To replace the old equipment with the new unit, the crew may need access to basements, attic areas and crawl spaces where the HVAC system is usually stored. If you’re also getting your ductwork repaired or replaced, the crew members will be scrambling their way through attics and crawl spaces. Keep in mind that major ductwork can extend the time of completion of your HVAC replacement. For more Details Contact Us.
