The Air Conditioning Installation Process

A new air conditioning system is a significant investment, so it makes sense to check that the contractor you choose is organised and ready to work through the air conditioning installation process as smoothly as possible.

Here we take a look at the key steps that any successful installation needs to go through. Use this checklist to help decide on a company that's going to install your new air conditioner in Coffs Harbour as professionally and smoothly as possible.

The first step that the contractor should complete is a thorough assessment of your property to help decide what unit will suit your needs. They will consider factors like:

- The size of your property.
- The layout and number of rooms.
- The space available to place a unit.
- Noise considerations.
- Running costs.
- Installation costs.
- Energy efficiency and environmental considerations.

Using this information, alongside their experience and knowledge of the various options available, and considering your needs and what you're looking for, they will then come up with suitable recommendations for you to consider.



Recommendations should be based on factual information that you can check for yourself, as well as the contractor's personal views, based on their years of experience in working on a variety of different systems in Coffs Harbour.

The recommended units should be from trusted and reliable brands that have a quality guarantee.

The recommendations offered should include an estimate of the unit purchase cost, plus installation charges.

This will give you the transparency that you need to come to a decision that you are confident to move forward with.

Compare the price the contractor has quoted for the system to ensure you won't save by purchasing the same unit elsewhere. Usually, a contractor will be able to get a trade discount, but this isn't always the case.

Remember that cheapest isn't necessarily the best, but that there also needs to be a good reason to choose a more expensive option.

On the agreed installation date, a team will remove your existing system (if necessary), as well as complete any work that's needed before the new system is installed.

Your installation should be completed by experienced and fully qualified technicians. A reputable contractor will provide evidence of testimonials or reviews of their previous work. They should also offer a warranty on their labour, as well as the air conditioning unit itself.

Before declaring the job completed, a full set of tests and checks should be completed by the contractor to ensure the new system is working at the optimal level.

Over time, even newer units can begin to show a deterioration in performance. This can cause a reduction in effectiveness, as well as potentially increase your energy bills.

Regular servicing and maintenance can reduce this general decline. The contractor who installed your system is going to have a good knowledge of how it should operate, making them the ideal people to carry out the scheduled maintenance when necessary.
