HVAC Installation Services: What To Expect

July 22, 2024

Your HVAC system is essential to maintaining a relaxed and comfortable home atmosphere. It’s the first line of defense against shifting and extreme temperatures. When the heat waves arrive, or the cold winds blow, you’ll be happy to have a high-quality HVAC.

Knowing what to expect from an HVAC installation will give you the confidence to invest in these necessary systems. While many know their importance, they may not understand everything that goes into an installation. At ProFlo, we’re passionate about sharing our expertise with homeowners, helping them with premium HVAC and plumbing repair!

We’re experts in models of all types and sizes and can easily integrate a premium HVAC system into your home. This article explores the step-by-step process for HVAC installation, including what you can do to prepare beforehand.

Prepare Your Home

Remove any furniture from the workspace, especially antique or highly valuable pieces, that your technicians may be hesitant to handle themselves. When your team can easily move about the space, ferrying equipment back and forth as needed, they can complete your HVAC installation quickly.

Pets and children can pose an issue to our maintenance team. They may injure themselves or our technicians during the process. Ensure any pets or small children are away from the installation area, so our team can move and work freely.

Preparing your space before heater and AC installation will save our HVAC technicians precious time, delivering the desired service sooner. We also recommend protecting your furniture with a durable covering, as the installation process can kick up dust.

AC Maintenance Estimates

Before scheduling your HVAC services, it’s essential to consider the various repair options to find the most cost-effective approach. While you may only need a simple AC repair, such as replacing a single component, scheduling an AC replacement may be more efficient. 

You should obtain multiple HVAC installation estimates from various trusted companies and compare them to find the best balance between value and cost. Then, discuss with your contractor which units best fit your needs. We recommend one based on square footage, insulation, and the local climate.

Maintenance Options

The right estimate will fit neatly into your budget while adequately addressing your HVAC needs, ensuring you get the most value for your investment. We recommend getting a minimum of four HVAC installation estimates.

Find the Right Technician

To confidently decide on the right technician, schedule visits from each one and consult them on your project. Allow each to conduct an assessment, observing their expertise in action to better make your decision. Once you’ve found the right technician, they’ll complete detailed measurements to recommend a suitable unit.

The final estimate should be dated and signed and include all costs for the air conditioner replacement or heater installation. This data includes project duration, itemized fees, HVAC unit costs, and additional clean-up costs.

You’re looking for a balance between experience and affordability. The right technician will complete a flawless job the first time, saving you time and money.

Model Types and Sizes

Your contractor will provide ample information, but it couldn’t hurt to research suitable HVAC units based on your property size. If you install an ill-fitted air conditioner or heating unit, it won’t be able to maintain the desired temperature. Even worse, it’ll cause higher-than-necessary energy bills.

HVAC systems with Energy STAR certification and other energy-efficient ratings will guarantee an eco-friendly system that keeps your home comfortable without wasting energy. These ratings provide insight into the efficiency and longevity of your HVAC unit.

Proper Installation

Once everything is complete—estimates, contractor, and preparation—it’s time to complete your HVAC installation! Whether AC installation, heater replacement, or another service, the process will be relatively the same. It begins with our technicians assessing and setting up the space.

We’ll cut the power to your HVAC system, ensuring maximum safety while working, and remove any old equipment and refrigerant. If completing an air conditioner repair, we’ll replace these components with new ones to get your system back in working order.

Depending on the complexity of the repair, your project may extend into the next day. However, most HVAC repair services can be completed within a day. Depending on the desired unit, we may complete an indoor and outdoor installation of HVAC systems.

Throughout the installation process, ProFlo’s HVAC technicians can complete minor repairs, such as electrical upgrades, wall studs, drywall, and other unexpected repairs. When finished, your home unit will efficiently maintain the desired atmosphere. Call ProFlo today at 951-694-1300 or contact us online for a free estimate.

ProFlo Air is amazing. We have worked with them on a couple of projects including our heat exchangers for our swimming pool (…) Now, our pool is heated whenever we turn on our AC. I recently needed a new AC unit for upstairs and ProFlo was there for me as my husband recently passed away… He even sent me flowers as I grieved the loss of my husband. Now that’s going above and beyond. I would highly recommend ProFlo Air. Thanks for being GREAT ProFlo

Kiesa G. from Temecula, CA

Called several companies and Proflo was the only one to call us back. They were so great and fast. Anthony got our unit up and running and gave us a lot of helpful information. We also signed up for their yearly inspection. We’re feeling very happy to have found such a great company! Anthony is awesome! Thank you!

Julie Spice

Contacted ProFlo through Yelp via email on Sunday (Fathers Day) late afternoon about our AC unit and the fan not turning. Carissa was very quick to reply in just a few minutes and set up an appointment the very next day. Anthony came out and had us quickly up and running. Anthony was great and explained everything he was checking, and showed us the results, every step of the way. He was very friendly, patient, and knowledgeable. I would definitely recommend anyone to check them out!

Rob S. from Temecula, CA

It has been a few years since they installed a new HVAC system in our home and we love it. The overall professionalism and quality of work was outstanding. Bonus is how much we are saving with a quality & efficient system. Highly recommend!
Also, we signed up for the scheduled maintenance program. They provide a complete and detailed service. Excellent.

Jack Munroe

I had Jared come out for a plumbing inspection – he was very thorough and did a great job of diagnosing a water hammer I was having.  The problem was quickly resolved.  They were very conscious about the house and did a great job of cleaning up.

(…) He did an excellent job of reviewing my system and explaining all of the various checks he was conducting.  He is very knowledgable and took the time to completely explain any issues he noticed or future items I should be concerned about.

I highly recommend ProFlo as I was very happy and satisfied with their service!

Patrick N. from Temecula, CA

(…) Brian junior came out, and handled our air conditioning unit, very professionally, great service, and good pricing. He was able to fix the problem that the other Plumber left us. Brian just came out to look at our mini split for a different reason, and most plumbers would charge $150 just to come out and look he didn’t charge anything, and is not a nickel and dime or he’s an honest man with an honest, reputable great company. I can’t recommend them more highly. You will not be dissatisfied, 100%. I’m thankful we found them through our good friend;)

Olga Diaz

Bryan was professional, on time, informative, respectful, and very knowledge. He gave me a very detailed explanation and walk thru of the issues along with very reasonable costs. Within no time he got our AC back up and running with nice cold air. I highly recommend. Definitely grateful to have the owner personally work on the unit and hear about the rich history of his family owned business.

Michael V.

I love ProFlo Services! They have done a wonderful job with every service they have performed. I trust them and that’s a rare these days. They have fixed other so called professional company’s mistakes. I highly recommend them! They have integrity!

Kelly Mahoney

I have hired Proflo AC for both Ac work and Plumbing. I have been significantly impressed with both the quality of work and the of course the price. (…) Fair pricing. The quality of work on the other hand is top notch. Most recently, Josh and his team came out to install a mini split. They were on time, communicated well, and most of all the installation went off without a hitch from start to finish. As a local business owner, I highly highly recommend giving these guys a call. I have had work done by other local companies in the past, to say I was not satisfied is an understatement, thankfully I have found my new AC and plumbing guys! Next Im having them do a bunch of work on my house. Don’t just think about it, hire them.

Randy F.

I had a great experience with this company, they were very responsive from day one . Enrique was very willing to accommodate requested services and made sure everything was done right . He fixed my issue quickly, walked me through everything he was working on and was very transparent about pricing. I would highly recommend this company.

Axcel Flores

Bryan set an appointment with us and showed up on time. He went through what we had and then suggested the Carrier package. Within the hour he gave us a bid. We agreed I would have a decision in a few days. Once I approved Bryan again came to our home along with his son Bryan Jr.And one of his field supervisors. They were extremely professional and I knew they would be trustworthy. Our system was installed in 2 days. The crew was very professional and ensured everything they did was complete and the area cleared and clean. The customer service is excellent and we are now enjoying a quiet and great system. I would highly recommend the Proflo team.

John F.

The crew was on time, took great pains to cover surfaces that would receive debris from duct cleaning and duct replacement along with the HVAC. The team was professional, efficient, worked tirelessly and took the time to show us how the system worked after cleaning up and before departing… We appreciate that this was done on the day before Thanksgiving, when most folks are traveling to family or preparing food for the holiday!

Zero Payments and Zero Interest for 18 Months

Key Features of the Financing Plan:

  • Zero Payments and Zero Interest for 18 Months: During the introductory period, you won’t have to worry about making any payments or accruing any interest. This allows you to manage your budget without immediate financial strain.
  • No Payment and No Interest if Paid in Full During 18-Month Intro Period: If you pay off the entire balance within the 18-month introductory period, you will not incur any interest charges. This means you can enjoy the benefits of your new AC system now and pay later, interest-free.

How It Works:

  1. No Payments During the Introductory Period: For the first 18 months, you won’t be required to make any payments. This gives you ample time to settle into your new cooling system and experience its benefits without the pressure of immediate costs.
  2. No Interest Charged if Paid in Full During the Introductory Period: If you pay off the total amount within the 18-month period, you will not be charged any interest. This can be an excellent opportunity to finance your AC installation without additional costs.
  3. Interest Accrual and Re-Amortization if Not Paid in Full: If the balance is not paid in full by the end of the 18-month introductory period, the interest that would have accrued during that time will be added to the remaining balance. This new balance will then convert to a standard installment loan with regular payments for the remainder of the term.

Benefits of Choosing Our Financing Plan:

  • Flexible Payment Options: Whether you prefer to pay off the balance within 18 months to avoid interest or spread out the payments over a longer period, our financing plan adapts to your needs.
  • Easy Application Process: Applying for financing through GoodLeap is quick and straightforward, allowing you to get approval and proceed with your installation without hassle.

Improved Home Comfort: Upgrade to a more efficient and reliable air conditioning system now, and start enjoying a cooler, more comfortable home right away.
