A typical AC installation can take anywhere from a day to a day and a half, depending on the layout and idiosyncrasies of your home. When you call us to come out and inspect your home, we will assess the features and needs of your home and give our best suggestions on what will work best for your comfort and your budget.

On the big day, when our installation team arrives at your home, they'll have a complete inventory of the equipment slated for your installation and detailed instructions based on the estimator’s appraisal. While our technicians are onsite, they will keep you informed throughout the installation on what they are doing and how it’s going. As always, we believe in prioritizing the protection of your home; this includes laying down floor coverings, protecting furniture, wearing protective coverings overshoes, and any other precautions that need to be taken. We not only protect you and your property, but we make certain that other potential hazards are mitigated by taking precautions concerning gas lines, electricity, and hazardous waste disposal.

We adhere to the HVAC industry’s best practices when removing the old air conditioning system. We are always prioritizing the safety of you and our technicians, as well as the safety of the environment. Our process includes compliant removal of refrigerant in accordance with strict EPA standards. We’ll also deal with the removal and disposal of the old disconnect box and dispose of the flexible electrical conduit before replacing it. Once these components are successfully removed, we can begin extracting the old system for proper disposal and prepare the outdoor and indoor areas for the installation of your new air conditioning system.

Once the outdoor unit is in place, we will head indoors to connect the indoor equipment. Usually, we will get everything connected to your furnace and blowing unit. If it makes sense, we’ll also install a new line set. Our technicians are trained to pay attention to the important details when it comes to ensuring tight seals that will eliminate any potential contaminants in the lines. Once the connections to the various parts are in place, we’ll install a new disconnect. More testing is done to check the electrical system is functioning with the components in the unit and your home climate control system. An inspection of the wiring with special attention to environmental elements that might damage the electrical wiring will prevent future outages. When all the items on our extensive installation checklist are done, we move on to pressurize the new AC system.

At IAQ Medics, we take pride in our meticulous testing and measurement procedures, ensuring that every air conditioning system we install in Northern Virginia reflects our HVAC company’s professionalism and expertise.

Lastly, we clean up the evidence of our work, leaving you in the comfort of cool air from your new AC system.
