You have decided to purchase a heat pump for your home so you can feel comfortable year-long by staying warm in the winter and cool in the summer. What are some things to consider?
Heat pump installation should not be a DIY task for many reasons. As a certified Daikin dealer, not only do we have the proper credentials to do the work, but we also have the experience of installing Daikin heat pumps and equipment. In addition, we have the tools and know-how to install your heat pump correctly, ensuring the lifespan of the equipment.
The warranty on many ductless heat pumps requires that the equipment be installed by a professional. Should any early problems arise with the equipment due to improper installation, associated costs will not be covered.
Many DIY installs do not follow the proper installation procedure. They do not evacuate the system with a vacuum pump prior to charging with refrigerant to ensure a dry and tight system. As there is potential for moisture to still be in the system, acid will form, causing irregular operation and significantly lowering the lifespan of the equipment.
We can also perform an annual deep clean, maintenance, and service on your heat pump. At ATL REFAC, we also provide you with tips on how to help maximize the lifespan of your heat pump.
Once you are ready to book your heat pump install, rest assured that as a certified Daikin dealer, we here at ATL REFAC are professionals and have the proper credentials on our team to ensure your heat pump is installed properly. We are also updated on the latest HVAC-R and Daikin technology by regularly attending training.
We can often complete a heat pump installation in as little as a half-day. The typical install process of a mini split system includes:
When new ductwork is being installed for a ducted unit, or if an oil furnace is being removed, the process is slightly more lengthy due to the more complicated nature of the work.
We will make ourselves available to answer post-installation questions if you wonder if the equipment needs servicing or how and when to protect it from winter weather. Also, when it’s professionally installed and serviced, it will be sure to work for all the reasons you purchased it in the first place, including energy efficiency, cost savings, and year-round comfort through heating and cooling.
