Installing a New HVAC System

Installing a New HVAC System

Are you thinking about updating an older home that has never had an air or heat unit? Installing a replacement unit is a completely different process than updating an older home that has never had central heat or air. While shopping around for the best HVAC Manassas contractor to work with here are a few things you should consider:

Duct Work

Ductwork is going to be the main concern when it comes to updating an older home. There has to be a conduit through which your heated or cooled air can travel throughout your home. Walk around your home, or even crawl under if you feel up to the challenge and assess whether or not there is room under there for service technicians and your required ductwork.

There are also refrigerant piping, condensate pipe, thermostat, wiring, filters and much more. You should know up front, there are several components that will have to be installed to make your HVAC system work correctly.

Determining Units

Now that you know, what type of work will have to be done you should consider the possible units for your home. You should really have a detailed inspection by a qualified technician to determine the most efficient heat/air system. If you're in the Northern Virginia area, a good HVAC Manassas contractor should be able to help you with this evaluation.
