Discover the meticulous steps our professionals take to guarantee your ultimate indoor comfort.

Step 1: Initial Consultation & Comprehensive Home Assessment

Every successful AC installation begins with a thorough understanding of your specific needs and home's unique characteristics. Our expert technicians will visit your Mission, BC or Lower Mainland residence to conduct a detailed assessment. This includes:

• Evaluating your current cooling system: If replacing, we assess the existing setup.
• Analyzing your home's layout and size: To determine the precise cooling capacity required.
• Inspecting ductwork (if applicable): Ensuring it's properly sized and sealed for optimal airflow.
• Discussing your comfort preferences and energy efficiency goals: To tailor the perfect solution.

This crucial first step ensures we recommend an AC system that is perfectly sized for your home, preventing common issues like short-cycling or inadequate cooling that can lead to higher energy bills and premature system wear.

Step 2: Personalized System Selection & Detailed Proposal

Based on our comprehensive assessment, we'll present you with a range of high-quality, energy-efficient air conditioning options that align with your budget and comfort requirements. Whether you're considering a central air conditioning unit, a ductless mini-split system, or a versatile heat pump, we'll explain the pros and cons of each, including:

• System types: Exploring models like variable-speed units for enhanced comfort and savings.
• SEER ratings: Guiding you through energy efficiency standards and potential rebates.
• Special features: Such as smart thermostat compatibility and advanced air filtration.

You'll receive a clear, itemized proposal detailing the recommended system, installation costs, and any available financing options. Our goal is to empower you to make an informed decision for your home's cooling future.

Step 3: Meticulous Site Preparation & Safe Old Unit Removal

Before any new equipment is brought in, our team takes great care to prepare your home. We lay down protective coverings to safeguard your floors and furnishings, ensuring a clean and respectful work environment. If it's an AC replacement, we then proceed with the careful and safe removal of your old air conditioning unit. This includes:

• Disconnecting electrical and refrigerant lines: Following strict environmental guidelines.
• Properly disposing of the old unit: Adhering to all local regulations.
• Preparing the outdoor and indoor installation sites: Ensuring a level pad for the condenser and clear access for the indoor coil.

This attention to detail minimizes disruption to your daily routine and sets the stage for a seamless new AC installation.

Step 4: Expert Installation of Your New AC System

This is where our technicians' expertise truly shines. Our certified installers meticulously follow manufacturer specifications and industry best practices to ensure every component of your new air conditioning system is installed correctly. This includes:

• Placing the outdoor condenser unit: Ensuring proper clearances for airflow and accessibility.
• Installing the indoor evaporator coil: Integrating it seamlessly with your furnace or air handler.
• Running new, properly sized refrigerant lines: Carefully insulated to prevent energy loss.
• Connecting electrical wiring: Ensuring all connections are secure and up to code.
• Installing new drainage lines: To efficiently remove condensation.

Our precision during this phase guarantees the safety, efficiency, and longevity of your new air conditioning system, maximizing your investment and upholding your warranty.

Step 5: Comprehensive System Testing & Calibration

Once the physical installation is complete, our work isn't over. We conduct a rigorous series of tests and calibrations to ensure your new AC system is operating at peak performance and efficiency. This critical phase includes:

• Charging the system with the correct amount of refrigerant: Vital for optimal cooling.
• Checking for any leaks: Using specialized tools to ensure system integrity.
• Testing electrical connections and safety controls.
• Measuring airflow and temperature differentials: To confirm even cooling throughout your home.
• Calibrating your thermostat: Ensuring it accurately controls your new system.

These comprehensive checks confirm that your air conditioner is ready to provide reliable, efficient cooling for years to come.

Step 6: Customer Walkthrough & Essential Care Tips

Before we consider the job complete, our technicians will conduct a thorough walkthrough of your new AC system with you. We'll explain how your new system operates, demonstrate its features, and show you how to use your thermostat effectively. We'll also provide:

• Essential maintenance tips: Such as regular filter changes to maintain efficiency and air quality.
• Warranty information: Ensuring you understand your coverage.
• Answers to all your questions: So you feel confident and comfortable with your new system.
