🛠️ Central AC Installation: Step-by-Step Process

1. Pre-Installation Assessment Site Survey: A professional technician evaluates your home's layout, insulation, and existing ductwork. This assessment ensures the system is appropriately sized and identifies any necessary modifications.
2. System Selection Unit Sizing: Based on the assessment, the technician performs a Manual J load calculation to determine the correct tonnage (cooling capacity) required for your space.
   
   System Type: Choose between split systems (separate indoor and outdoor units) or packaged units (all components housed together).
3. Installation of Components Indoor Unit: The evaporator coil and air handler are installed, typically in the attic or utility room.
   
   Outdoor Unit: The condenser and compressor are placed on a level pad outside your home.
   
   Ductwork: Existing ducts are inspected and sealed; new ducts are installed if necessary.
   
   Refrigerant Lines: Copper lines are connected between the indoor and outdoor units.
   
   Electrical Connections: The system is wired to your home's electrical panel, ensuring proper voltage and safety.
4. System Testing and Commissioning Leak Checks: Ensure all refrigerant lines are sealed to prevent leaks.
   
   System Start-Up: The system is powered on, and its operation is monitored for efficiency and performance.
   
   Final Inspection: A thorough check to confirm the system meets all safety and operational standards.
