When you need a new AC system, you want to be satisfied with the result. You don’t want it to be a lengthy struggle or a costly mistake. You really do not want to go through a long process just to have it come to nothing and have to start over! This means that you can’t approach air conditioner installation as a DIY project.

A qualified professional team for your AC installation will make all the difference to your HVAC system and to your future comfort in your home. The benefits are enormous. Why is it so critical to have a professional install your new air conditioner? We’ll back up our statement with some cold, hard facts.

AC Sizing Is a Precision Job

Before you’ve even chosen an air conditioning system to replace your old one with, and certainly before the date of your installation, the professional AC replacement process begins with a thorough assessment of your home and the needs of your family. Your square footage, home layout, previous system, and any concerns about how to have ideal comfort need to be considered.

Air conditioners come in a variety of sizes. Getting the wrong size will lead to major issues, and not just with poor AC performance and less-than-ideal home cooling. No, it’s worse than that. Whether your system is too large or too small, it will end up struggling mightily. 

A too-small system will have to run constantly. A too-large system will start and stop far too often. Either issue leads to early compressor failure and an air conditioner that breaks down long before it should. Your system should last at least ten years, perhaps twelve or more, but this kind of excessive strain could shorten its lifetime to five or seven years.

Your Warranty Can Save You Money

If your air conditioner is under warranty, the manufacturer may end up covering the costs of some of its eventual repair needs. This can save you a lot of money in the long run. But you have to meet the requirements of the warranty agreement. And the quickest way to void your warranty is to attempt DIY installation. In order to keep the warranty valid, you need professionals to perform the installation.

DIY Installation Leads to Frequent Repairs

One of the reasons that AC manufacturers want you to have the installation of their systems done professionally is that your air conditioner will be much more likely to encounter issues if it’s not installed perfectly. Things like making sure connections are secure and keeping all the parts of the system stable and level at the exact right angle are critical to the future well-being of the air conditioner.

All too often, when we’re called in to repair an air conditioner, it becomes obvious that the problems it’s experiencing are the result of improper installation. So to avoid all these hassles, when you need air conditioning installation in Long Beach Island, NJ, rely on qualified professionals to do the job right.
