Removing Your Old Heater
The first step to installing your brand new heater is to remove your old system completely. We have to turn off gas lines or electricity to ensure that there is no power going to the system. Then we have to remove everything safely and carefully. After that, we can assess how to install your new heater. We may have to do some cleaning or replace the boards and bases for your new heater. We want to make sure that the foundations are level and sturdy so that you won’t have any problems in the future.
Setting Everything Up
Our next step is to begin getting everything ready for the installation. If you need new wiring or new gas lines, we can install those. If you need new ductwork and air vents, we can handle that too. Maybe you would prefer to have air vents in different locations based on your furniture placement. We want to help make your new heater as efficient as possible so we can help you maximize your new unit.
Installation
Once everything is ready, we can install the unit itself. We hook everything up and make sure that the connections are correct. If your system needs to be pressurized, we do that. Then we turn on all of the systems and test your settings. It usually takes around an hour for us to fully test your new heater and make sure that it works correctly. We want to turn the temperature up and down and make sure that your heater turns on like it should and doesn’t make any unusual sounds.
Once we know that everything is working, we can give you tips for how to use your heater and maximize its efficiency.
