Our AC Installation Process
-
-
-
- Site Evaluation and Load Calculation: Every AC installation begins with a detailed evaluation of your home. We consider its square footage, layout, insulation, window placement, sun exposure, and typical usage to determine its cooling requirements. Proper system sizing can help prevent uneven temperatures, excess humidity, short cycling, inefficient operation, and premature equipment wear.
-
- System Selection: Based on the results of the evaluation, we help you select an appropriate system type, capacity, and efficiency level. This may include a heat pump or straight-cool air conditioning system. Our goal is to recommend equipment that matches your home’s comfort needs, energy-efficiency goals, and budget.
- Ductwork Design, Zoning, and Hotspot Planning: Your air conditioning system depends on properly designed ductwork to distribute conditioned air throughout the home. We examine the existing duct system for airflow restrictions, poor balance, leakage, and areas that may contribute to hot or cold spots. When appropriate, we may recommend ductwork modifications or zoning options to improve temperature control in different areas of the home.
- Permitting and Site Preparation: Before installation begins, we obtain applicable permits and prepare the work area. This includes confirming equipment clearances, electrical requirements, available installation space, and other site conditions. The work is performed according to applicable local and state codes, manufacturer requirements, and accepted industry practices.
- System Installation: Our technicians install the indoor and outdoor equipment, complete necessary plenum or ductwork modifications, prepare the refrigerant lines, make the required electrical connections, and install or configure the thermostat. Each component is carefully installed according to the manufacturer’s specifications to support safe, efficient, and reliable operation.
- System Connections: Electrical, refrigerant, drainage, thermostat, and control connections are carefully completed and inspected. Proper connections help the individual components communicate correctly and are essential for system safety, energy efficiency, and long-term reliability.
- Testing and Calibration: Once the equipment is installed, we test and calibrate the complete system. This may include checking airflow, temperature performance, refrigerant levels, electrical operation, thermostat settings, condensate drainage, and communication between system components. These checks help confirm that the system is operating as designed.
- Final Inspection and Code Compliance: Final adjustments and inspections are completed to confirm that the AC installation meets applicable safety standards, building codes, and manufacturer requirements. Required inspections are coordinated as part of the installation process, providing greater confidence that your new system has been installed correctly.
- Customer Orientation and Post-Installation Support: After the AC installation is complete, we explain how to operate your new system and thermostat. We also provide available equipment documentation, warranty information, and recommended maintenance guidance. Kirkus Aire remains available after the installation for ongoing air conditioning service, maintenance, and AC repair when needed.
- Warranty Registration: Eligible systems installed by Kirkus Aire are registered with the manufacturer so customers can receive the applicable extended parts coverage. Depending on the equipment and manufacturer’s terms, registration may extend eligible parts coverage from five years to ten years. We also offer optional three-year, five-year, and ten-year labor-coverage plans for customers seeking additional protection. We will review the available warranty terms with you so you understand what is included.
