Adding a heating or air conditioning system requires a lot of planning to incorporate the systems properly. This planning is needed to ensure that the home is adequately enjoying the hot and cold air it needs. Once these items have been planned, the installation can begin.

One of the things that must be planned is where the HVAC equipment such as the air conditioning unit is going to be installed. This placement is especially crucial since this is where the source of the cooling cycle is ultimately going to occur. The location on the outside of the home needs to be chosen carefully to ensure that the unit is adequately protected from the sun, but is not detracting from the overall first impression of the home. Once this location is adequately determined, the rest of the equipment can be laid out from that point.

Another thing that has to be planned is how the ductwork is going to be run through each room. Usually, ductwork is hidden in the walls and ceiling of the home. If this unit is added after the home is built, the removal of drywall may be necessary for installation. While there maybe a few unexpected surprises when opening the walls of a home, it is important that the ductwork is adequately servicing all rooms in the home.

The placement of the vents is also another part of planning for the HVAC equipment instalment. The number of vents and their placement depends largely on the room’s size and configuration. Often, multiple vents are needed for larger spaces to ensure an adequate airflow through the room. Some rooms may need extra venting if they are oddly shaped to ensure they also have adequate flow of air as well. A solid plan will also include the location of the vents in each room.

These are a few things that need to be planned before the equipment for a new system is installed. While the equipment can be obtained from Ramapo Wholesalers, it is important to have an adequate plan in place to determine what is needed before the project begins.
