A new heating system can make Midwest winters more bearable and lower your heating costs. Before heater installation in Rockford commences, here are some things homeowners need to know to prepare for the installation.
Take the Day Off
Installing a new heating system isn’t something that gets done quickly. It takes anywhere from 4-8 hours to complete the installation. That’s why homeowners should take the day off work and be available all day to answer questions and make sure the house is secure. Sometimes installers need to leave for an hour or two to grab apart from their shop. The installation will go a lot smoother when no one feels rushed.
Clear the Area
Before the installers arrive, spend time clearing the area around the existing heating system. Remove anything stored in the area and create a clear path from the front door, basement door, or whatever entryway the installers will use to bring in the new system. When there’s clutter in the installers’ ways, it takes longer for them to do their jobs, and it’s likelier that the system could be damaged during the installation.
Also, make sure all pets are secure and kept away from the installation area.
Prepare for No Electricity
At some point during the installation, the installers will need to turn off the electricity. Usually, households are without electricity for long, but it’s worth mentioning.
