PA<\/a>\u2013but how long is that actually going to take? What kind of interruption will that play in your day-to-day life?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The answer is never straightforward, and every case is different, but we can tell you what goes into a heater installation, troubles technicians often run into, and give you a pretty good rough estimate of an average installation. Let\u2019s get to it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">There\u2019s the Pre-Installation Appointment<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Before we can drop a new heater in, we need to know what we\u2019re working with. A pre-installation appointment sounds like a silly concept, but it\u2019s crucial to the entire installation\u2019s success. This is what we can find during a pre-installation appointment that helps:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Ductwork problems at the connection<\/li><li>Electrical issues (high voltage where there shouldn\u2019t be)<\/li><li>Ventilation problems with exhaust<\/li><li>Sizing issues with previous installation<\/li><li>Gas line issues or blockages<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>There\u2019s a lot of potential problems to take into account, and it can be overwhelming. This appointment serves as a time to establish what materials and tools we\u2019ll need to finish the job, and whether or not some unique items need to be ordered or not.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Removing the Old System Takes Time<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s not as simple as disconnecting everything and just pulling it out on a dolly. Everything needs to be disconnected properly, connections need to be preserved, and this is a stage where your technician might uncover a problem that wasn\u2019t entirely visible during the pre-installation appointment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Installation Day<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Now it\u2019s time to actually install the unit. If everything\u2019s been accounted for, the installation should be started and finished within the same day, if all goes well. However, it depends on what type of heating system you\u2019re installing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re making the switch from a furnace to a ductless mini split, the installation process is more lengthy and involved. If you\u2019re just replacing your old furnace with another furnace, the whole process is a lot more straightforward.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019ve had a home expansion at any point since the last heater was installed, you\u2019ll also need to account for new ductwork and vents to be installed, which will likely extend the installation timeframe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">In an Ideal Situation, it\u2019s a One-Day Installation<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Let\u2019s look at an ideal situation, though. It means that your electrical and ductwork connections are great, there\u2019s no need to seal any ductwork, and basically everything is perfect to drop a brand new heater in the old one\u2019s place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But let\u2019s look at how often ideal situations truly play out. If your heater is old, then the ductwork and connections have likely endured some strain and withering along the way as well. That\u2019s why the pre-installation appointment is so important.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Let\u2019s Take Care of Your Installation<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Your heater doesn\u2019t need to take an eternity to install\u2013we provide thorough work, ensure a quality installation, and work as quickly as possible to restore your comfort as quickly as possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><a href=\"\/contact\/message\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>Contact Michall Daimion Heating &amp; Air Conditioning, Inc. today<\/strong><\/a><strong> to schedule your heating installation as soon as possible.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Installing a heater is no small feat, but how long does it really take?
