The Installation Process

Installing ducted air conditioning can be labor intensive.

First, it’s best to check if your home is suitable for a ducted air conditioning system. If your home has existing duct work, you’re in luck as the installation process is much easier. However, if your home does not have existing duct work, the process is a bit more complicated.

Assuming you have a decent amount of space in your basement and attic, installing new duct work shouldn’t be too difficult. If the layout and size of your home is on the smaller size, you will need to retrofit your home to install ducted air conditioning.

Please note, a duct retrofit can be costly.

Since the installation process can be complicated, it is highly suggested to consult with a skilled technician who can provide smarter options and a detailed estimate. A professional contractor will be able to tell you if the infrastructure of your home will be impacted or disturbed.

Once your home has been evaluated and approved for the install of ducted air conditioning, a qualified technician will provide the estimated cost of installation and an estimated time of completion.

A qualified HVAC technician will be able to guide you in the right direction and help you choose an energy savings system that’s right for your household.

There are many benefits to having a licensed professional install a ducted air conditioning system in your home. For example, a reputable contractor will pull the required permits and perform any necessary work according to code. This way the installation process will be completed properly. A professional will also provide a warranty for repairs and any post installation maintenance.

If installation is not done properly, you may risk frequent breakdowns, health and safety hazards, and/or having to pay more for proper reinstallation.

Choosing your air conditioner’s settings can affect cost, consumption and comfort. For example, while running your air conditioner, there are two settings: On & Auto… and there are pros and cons to both. Adjusting your air conditioner to ON improves air filtration and circulation, however, it also causes the fan to run more hours per month, which increases cost. Adjusting your settings to Auto is more energy efficient and helps remove humidity.

Once you’ve successfully completed the installation process, there is one more step.

It’s important to prepare yourself for any complications your system may incur over time. Therefore, it is highly suggested to consider a maintenance plan. Preventative maintenance can extend the lifespan of your system.
