The Florida-based heating, cooling, and air conditioning company is pleased to issue a short, handy guide to upgrading an HVAC system as a service to the home-owning public.
ORLANDO, FL / ACCESSWIRE / November 4, 2021 / According to industry consensus, household heat pumps need to be replaced every 15 years or so, while air conditioning units have a lifespan of between 15-20 years, and furnaces last approximately the same amount of time. Though their functionality is relatively long, a household's HVAC systems, like all appliances, will eventually become ineffective and need to be replaced. For homeowners who have never experienced it, replacing an HVAC system can seem like a daunting prospect. It is for that reason, as a part of its ongoing campaign to better inform the general public about all matters relating to heating, ventilation, and air conditioning, Orlando Air Conditioning Experts presents a short, handy guide of what to expect when replacing an HVAC system.
Preliminary Assessment
After selecting a reputable contractor to conduct the HVAC replacement, homeowners can expect them to perform a preliminary assessment of the property. The contractor will spend some time measuring square footage and performing load calculations based on the location's climate, the size of the property, and the household's ability to contain conditioned air. Based on all this information, the contractor will recommend a size and type of replacement HVAC system, and may also suggest some repairs to the household's ductwork or exterior envelope. The recommended HVAC upgrade may include augmenting attic or crawl space insulation, resealing certain windows and doors, or fixing any cracks or exterior breaches where air might escape from the structure.
Act of Replacement
During the act of replacement itself, the contractor's crew will need full access to all areas of the property that house HVAC systems-typically, areas like basements, attics, and crawl spaces. They will then cut power to the affected systems, remove all traces of refrigerant from air conditioning equipment, and then disassemble and remove the old HVAC apparatus. Depending on the preliminary assessment and the scope of the project, some of the contractor's crew may begin duct repair or replacement while others begin assembling the new HVAC equipment. If ductwork is involved, it could prolong the process, and will likely involve workers making their way through attics and crawl spaces.
The new HVAC components installed may include the inside air handler or evaporator, outside compressor or condensing unit, new refrigerant supply lines, condensate drain lines, and sometimes the condensate pump. It is also worth noting that, with very few exceptions, a new thermostat that is precisely calibrated to the new HVAC system will be installed, as well. Additionally, while most HVAC contractors are qualified to upgrade wiring and circuit breakers during a typical HVAC installation, if major changes to the property's electrical system and circuitry are required, the services of a licensed electrical contractor should be enlisted.
Although this may sound like a lot of complicated steps, excluding the preliminary assessment, most HVAC systems replacements can be completed in a single day. However, some more advanced installations could push the duration to a day and a half, or possibly two days.
