What to Expect During Your HVAC Installation: A Step-by-Step Home Prep Checklist

Having a new AC system installed is a big step towards better home comfort, cleaner air, and lower energy bills. At Mint Home, we make the process as seamless and stress free as possible. If you are upgrading an old unit here is what to expect during your HVAC installation, and how to prepare your home for it.
This HVAC replacement checklist will walk you through everything you need to know to get ready for the installation day.

What to Expect During Your HVAC Installation:


1. Clear the Work Area
Make sure the area around your current AC unit is accessible. This includes:

  • Removing furniture, plants, or stored items near the indoor and outdoor units.
  • Clearing a path from the entrance to the system
  • Securing pets in another room
    Our team needs space to safely move in and out, remove your old system, and install the new one without delays. If you have some heavier items that you need help shifting to clear a path our team will be happy to take care of it.

2. Know What’s Getting Replaced
Often when Mint Home does upgrades it is for the full system. We provide:

  • Professional installation by licensed technicians
  • Full removal and environmentally responsible disposal of your old system
  • Proper setup and calibration of your new unit to optimize its performance

We cover all of our bases so you do not have to worry about a thing.

3. Understand the Installation Timeline
HVAC installations typically take a half-day to full-day depending on the complexity of your system. Make arrangements if:

  • You work from home and need a quiet space
  • You have children or pets that are sensitive to noise or activity
  • You want to be present for any walkthroughs or questions

Our team will keep you informed at every step and are happy to answer any questions that may arise.

4. Ask Questions Ahead of Time
Want to know how your AC system works or what kind of maintenance is recommended or required to uphold the manufacturer warranty? We are here to provide you peace of mind and answer any and all of your questions. Feel free to reach out before the installation to go over:

  • Thermostat compatibility
  • Smart thermostat energy efficiency settings
  • Filter replacement schedules (How MintCare can help)
  • Any general questions or concerns about install day

5. Let Us Handle the Rest
Once you are ready, our expert technicians will take care of everything on your AC’s installation day. That includes:

  • Safely removing your old system
  • Installing and testing your new AC unit
  • Thorough cleanup of the work area so your home is as tidy as we found it
  • Walking you through how to use and maintain your new AC system
