What is the Process of Furnace and AC Installation?

At Allegiance, we believe that knowledge is power, especially when it comes to major home improvements like furnace and AC installation. We're here to pull back the curtain and give you an insider's look at the process. Let's break it down step by step, so you know exactly what to expect when you're ready to upgrade your home's comfort system.

Part 1: Pre-Installation and Assessment

The journey to your new HVAC system begins long before any equipment enters your home. It starts with a thorough assessment of your current setup and your home's specific needs. Here's what you can expect:

1. Initial Consultation: We'll schedule a visit to your home to discuss your comfort needs, concerns, and budget. This is your chance to ask questions and share any issues you've had with your current system.
2. Home Evaluation: Our technicians will assess your home's size, layout, insulation, and existing ductwork. We'll check for any potential obstacles or necessary modifications.
3. Load Calculation: We'll perform a detailed load calculation to determine the right size system for your home. This crucial step ensures you get a system that's neither too big (wasting energy) nor too small (struggling to keep up).
4. System Recommendation: Based on our findings, we'll recommend the best options for your home. We'll explain the benefits of different efficiency ratings and features, helping you make an informed decision.
5. Proposal and Estimate: You'll receive a detailed proposal outlining the recommended system, any necessary modifications, and the furnace and AC replacement cost. We'll walk you through this estimate, explaining each line item.
6. Scheduling: Once you've made your decision, we'll schedule the installation at a time that's convenient for you. We'll also provide guidance on how to prepare your home for the installation day.

This pre-installation phase is critical. It's where we lay the groundwork for a successful installation, ensuring that your new system will meet your needs and operate efficiently for years to come. We take the time to get it right because we know that proper planning prevents poor performance.

During this phase, we're also happy to discuss any concerns about furnace and AC repair. Sometimes, a repair might be a more cost-effective solution, and we'll always be upfront about your options. Our goal is to provide you with the best solution for your home and budget, whether that's a repair or a full replacement.
