If you're about to have a new heating system installed there are a few things you need to do to prepare for this installation. Being prepared is something you will not regret as it will make the installation process easier. Here are some tips for getting prepared.
Clear the Space
Chances are your heating system will go in the same location as your old one. The best thing you can do is to make sure that the area is free and clear of any obstructions.
If you've had to replace or repair parts on your natural gas furnace in the past, you may have heard your technician discuss problems with the furnace's draft or draft inducer. If you're not an HVAC technician, these terms might sound confusing. What makes your furnace drafty, and why should a lack of draft prevent your furnace from operating?
All combustion furnaces must have a way to remove harmful combustion byproducts from your home, but modern, higher-efficiency furnaces take this process a step further.
The purpose of having an AC unit in your home is to provide an appropriate temperature for a habitable living space during the hot season. So, if your unit delivers uneven cooling, it negates its original purpose. Note that it is best not to ignore this issue, as it can eventually lead to a unit that doesn't cool at all. So, call a residential AC repair expert to diagnose your unit and solve the problem to restore even cooling.
Nobody likes a hot, sticky home. If you live in a humid climate, you know that dealing with muggy summers can often be far more unpleasant than heat. Even if air temperatures remain relatively cool, high humidity levels can make spending time outdoors (or indoors) an extremely uncomfortable experience.
A split-unit central air conditioning system is one of the best ways to combat this problem, and installing one in your home can be a substantial upgrade from basic window units.
