Pre-Install Preparation

Every successful AC installation starts with a detailed evaluation of your home. Before we even bring in equipment, our Comfort Heroes technician will visit your property to perform a full assessment. This includes measuring the square footage of your space, checking insulation and ductwork, and reviewing your current system (if one exists). Our goal is to ensure that your new air conditioner is properly sized and suited to your household’s cooling needs.

We’ll also review your options with you. Whether you’re going with a traditional central AC system, a ductless mini-split, or a high-efficiency unit, we’ll explain the benefits of each and help you select the best model for your lifestyle and budget. Clear communication at this stage ensures there are no surprises or errors when installation day arrives.

Installation Day

On installation day, our team of experienced technicians will begin by carefully removing your old AC system, if applicable. Our team takes care to protect your home throughout the process, using drop cloths and working efficiently to minimize disruption. Next comes the installation of the new unit. This includes mounting the indoor and outdoor components, connecting refrigerant lines, setting up thermostats, and integrating with existing ductwork – or installing new ducting if required. Depending on the complexity of the system, AC installation in Palm Desert typically takes one full day, though larger projects may require additional time.

Once the system is in place, we run performance tests to ensure everything is working as it should. This includes checking airflow, refrigerant levels, and thermostat calibration. We’ll also walk you through your new AC’s features and maintenance needs so that you feel confident using it.
