What is the step-by-step AC installation process homeowners should know?

The AC installation process at Fix-it 24/7 follows three stages: pre-install preparation, installation day, and post-install support. Most projects begin by confirming the right system size and required permits, then end with full testing and a homeowner walkthrough. Our teams also handle local permitting and code requirements based on long-time experience across the Charleston area. Pros often label wires and take quick photos before disconnecting; it speeds commissioning and avoids callbacks.

Typical steps look like this:

  • Pre-install: confirm details and sizing, secure permits, and prepare/protect the home.
  • Removal and placement: safely remove old equipment if needed and position the new indoor and outdoor units.
  • Hookups and setup: connect refrigerant lines and electrical, then commission the system to factory specs.
  • Verification and handoff: performance testing, walkthrough with operation tips, maintenance recommendations, warranty registration, and 24/7 support.

Clear the work path and keep pets secured so your installers can work safely and finish checks without delays.
