What to Expect During an AC Unit Replacement

Are you facing an AC unit replacement soon? 

The AC unit is a major appliance, and here in sunny Southern California, it gets frequent use throughout the year.  And like any other appliance, it has a lifespan and eventually needs to be replaced to meet your cooling needs and to ensure energy efficiency. 

At Allegiance Heating & Air, we understand that this process can seem daunting. That's why we're here to guide you through every step, ensuring a smooth and efficient transition to your new cooling system.

Initial Assessment

The journey to your new AC system begins with a thorough assessment of your current situation. Our technicians will visit your home to evaluate your existing system and understand your cooling needs. We'll take into account factors like your home's size, layout, insulation, and your personal preferences. This comprehensive approach allows us to recommend the most suitable replacement for air conditioner that will keep you comfortable for years to come.

During this assessment, we'll discuss your budget and any specific concerns you might have. We believe in transparent communication, so we'll explain our findings and recommendations in clear, easy-to-understand terms. This is your opportunity to ask questions and get all the information you need to make an informed decision.

Choosing Your New AC Unit

Based on our assessment, we'll present you with options for your air conditioning unit replacement. We'll explain the pros and cons of each system, focusing on:

• Energy efficiency ratings and potential cost savings
• Cooling capacity and how it matches your home's needs
• Advanced features like smart thermostats or zoning capabilities
• Warranty information and long-term value

We'll help you navigate these options, considering both your immediate needs and long-term goals. Our aim is to find the perfect balance between performance, efficiency, and cost, ensuring you get the best value for your investment.

Preparing for Installation Day

Once you've selected your new AC unit, we'll schedule the installation at a time that's convenient for you. To ensure a smooth process, we'll provide you with information on how to prepare your home. This typically includes clearing the area around your indoor and outdoor units and ensuring there's a clear path for our technicians to work.

We understand that having work done in your home can be disruptive, so we'll give you an estimated timeline for the replacement process. Our team is committed to minimizing inconvenience and completing the job efficiently without compromising on quality.

The Replacement Process

On installation day, our team will arrive promptly and begin by safely removing your old AC unit. We follow strict guidelines for recovering any remaining refrigerant and properly disposing of the old system. We take great care to protect your home during this process, taking precautions to avoid any damage.

With the old system removed, we'll start installing your new air conditioning unit. This process typically includes:

1. Placing and securing the new outdoor condenser unit
2. Installing the new indoor air handler or evaporator coil
3. Connecting refrigerant lines
4. Setting up the new thermostat (if applicable)

Our technicians are meticulous in their work, ensuring every component is properly installed for optimal performance. If any adjustments are needed, such as modifying ductwork or upgrading electrical connections, we'll discuss these with you before proceeding.

Testing and Calibration

Once the new system is in place, we conduct thorough testing to ensure everything is working correctly. This includes checking refrigerant levels, verifying proper airflow, testing electrical connections, and calibrating the thermostat. We don't consider the job complete until we're certain your new AC is operating at peak performance.

Final Walkthrough and Education

Before we wrap up, we'll give you a comprehensive overview of your new system. We believe that an informed homeowner is a happy homeowner, so we'll take the time to show you how to operate your new thermostat, change or clean air filters, and recognize signs that your system needs attention.

We'll also provide tips for maintaining your new AC unit to ensure its longevity and efficiency. Regular maintenance can significantly extend the life of your system and keep it running at peak efficiency, so we'll discuss the benefits of our maintenance plans and how they can save you money in the long run.

Follow-Up and Support

Our commitment to you doesn't end when we leave your home. We'll follow up a few days after the installation to ensure you're satisfied with your new AC unit.
