When it comes to maintaining comfort in your home, proper AC installation is crucial. At Joplin’s Air Conditioning & Heating, we understand that a new air conditioning system is a significant investment, and we want to help you make the most of it.
Before Installation Day
- Clear the workspace around your indoor and outdoor units
- Ensure easy access to your attic or installation area
- Remove valuable or fragile items from the work zones
- Make arrangements for pets to be in a secure area
Choosing the Right System
Before making your selection, consider these critical factors:
1. Home Size: Your air conditioning unit should match your square footage precisely. An oversized or undersized system can lead to inefficiency and higher energy bills.
2. SEER Rating: Modern AC units come with various Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio (SEER) ratings. Higher SEER ratings indicate better energy efficiency, which can lead to substantial savings over time.
3. Zoning Requirements: Consider whether your home needs multiple zones for optimal comfort, especially in multi-story houses.
Post-Installation Care
After your new AC system is installed, follow these essential maintenance tips:
- Schedule regular maintenance checks
- Change or clean air filters monthly
- Keep the outdoor unit clear of debris and vegetation
- Monitor your energy bills for any unusual changes
Maximizing Efficiency
To get the best performance from your new system:
1. Program your thermostat properly. Setting a schedule that aligns with your daily routine can significantly reduce energy consumption.
2. Consider installing a smart thermostat for optimal control and energy savings.
3. Keep all vents unobstructed by furniture or decorations.
4. Ensure your home is properly insulated to maintain consistent temperatures.
Warning Signs to Watch For
Even with a new installation, be alert for:
- Unusual sounds or vibrations
- Inconsistent cooling throughout your home
- Higher than expected energy bills
- Short cycling (system turning on and off frequently)
