A/C Installation Checklist

What happens during your A/C installation of a new unit

• The technician will turn off the power to your old unit

• He will drain any refrigerant from it before actually taking it apart

• Old copper refrigerate lines are cut and cleaned for reuse

• Many times the line set (copper lines, condensate lines and thermostat wire) are replaced with new installation

• Once the old unit is removed, your new one will be installed.

• Sometimes new electrical breakers are needed if the new A/C unit requires different amperage.

• You may want to upgrade your thermostat with the new system.

• Depending on the scope of the project, your duct-work may need to be repaired or replaced

• In Florida we put the outdoor unit on concrete hurricane pad with clips to hold it down

• Florida requires a UV protective armor flex on exposed copper lines outside

• Vacuum out condenser

• Before everything is wrapped up locking caps are put on charging ports to discourage tampering

• Refrigerant charge will be checked after installation
