What to Expect During a Residential HVAC System Installation

Upgrading or installing a new HVAC system in your home is a major step toward long-term comfort, energy savings, and peace of mind. But for many homeowners, the installation process can feel intimidating or unclear.

At Tarrant Mechanical, we take the guesswork out of the process. Whether you’re building a new home or replacing an outdated unit, here’s what to expect from a residential HVAC installation—and why professional service matters.

Step 1: In-Home Assessment and System Recommendation

Every home is different, which means every HVAC solution should be customized. We start with:

• A full home assessment
• Load calculations based on square footage and layout
• Ductwork evaluation
• Energy efficiency goals

From there, we recommend the best HVAC system for your needs—balancing comfort, budget, and long-term savings.

Step 2: Removal of the Old System (if applicable)

If you’re replacing an older system, our team safely removes and disposes of it according to EPA guidelines. This includes:

• Disconnecting power and refrigerant lines
• Carefully removing the indoor and outdoor units
• Inspecting the area for damage or code issues

Proper removal ensures a smooth installation and avoids future issues.

Step 3: Installation of the New HVAC System

This is where precision and experience matter most. Our licensed technicians handle:

• Placement of the indoor air handler or furnace
• Outdoor condenser installation
• Connecting the refrigerant and electrical lines
• Integrating the system with your thermostat
• Sealing and adjusting ductwork (if needed)

We ensure everything is installed to manufacturer specifications and up to local building codes.

Step 4: System Testing and Calibration

Before we leave, your system is thoroughly tested to make sure it’s running efficiently and safely. We check:

• Airflow and temperature output
• Thermostat communication
• Refrigerant charge
• Safety and performance parameters

This ensures your system is operating at peak efficiency from day one.

Step 5: Walkthrough and Homeowner Education

We don’t just install and leave—we walk you through your new system so you feel confident using it. We explain:

• Thermostat settings and scheduling
• Filter replacement frequency
• Recommended maintenance schedule
• Energy-saving tips specific to your unit

You’ll have everything you need to get the most out of your investment.
