What to Expect During a Professional Air Conditioner Installation

Well, living in Las Vegas means that summer heat is no child’s play. So when that air conditioner that was working since time immemorial bids farewell or when the time comes for a truly energy-saving system, a professional installation of whatever kind can spell comfort and sustained savings for you. But if you have never had an AC installation in your home before, it sure can get a little overwhelming.

At K-2 Mechanical, we focus on affordable AC installation in Las Vegas, along with emergency repairs, maintenance, and ductless mini-split heating and cooling systems. In this complete guide, we will walk you through every aspect you need to expect when it comes to professional air conditioning installation, starting from initial consultation all the way to performance testing and post-installation.

Why You Might Need a New AC Unit

Before getting started with the installation, one should know about the timing of replacing an AC. Here are some reasons that often bring Las Vegas homeowners to get in touch with us regarding new AC installations:

• Your unit is older than 10-15 years and is inefficient.
• Frequent repairs have become costly.
• Your system is unable to keep up with summer heat.
• Energy bills keep increasing every month.
• You want to switch to ductless mini-split heating and cooling.
• Your home never gets cooled evenly.

If any one of these reasons fits your scenario, then you should now consider a replacement, and K-2 Mechanical will work with you throughout the process.

The Initial Consultation & Home Assessment

Now, the process begins with a home consultation. One of our certified HVAC technicians will come to your home to:

• Evaluate your current cooling system.
• Visit to evaluate the size and layout of your home.
• Review what needs to be done for insulation and ductwork and ventilation.
• Discuss budget and preferences with you and energy efficiency goals.

Why It Matters:
An oversized AC unit or an undersized AC unit will not work efficiently, will require frequent repairs, and will have a lot higher energy bills.

At K-2 Mechanical, every AC installation in Las Vegas is customized as per the requirements of your home. Our technicians will ensure that you get the best price-to-performance ratio for your investment.

Choosing the Right AC System for Your Needs

Once the assessment is done, the best options will be recommended according to:

• The system type, either Central Air Conditioning or ductless mini splits.
• Energy efficiency based on SEER rating.
• Cooling capacity, which is measured in BTUs.
• Smart features, such as Wi-Fi thermostat, zoning, and variable speed fans.

Then we will assist in comparing the benefits of individual systems such as:,/p>

K-2 Mechanical offers cost-effective AC installation using superior equipment from reputable brands, whether for conventional or ductless systems.

Scheduling the Installation Day

Once your system is chosen, we can arrange to have your installation done at your convenience. We make every effort to work with your schedule, especially in the busy summer months when temperatures can indiscriminately rise to dangerous degrees in Las Vegas.

The Pre-installation Checklist:

• Clear the area around the existing indoor and outdoor units.
• Make sure that all pets and children are safely away from the work area.
• Allow access to the electrical panel or utility closet, if needed.

Most installations take somewhere between 4 to 8 hours depending on the complexity. K-2 Mechanical takes the least inconvenience in the most clean manner at the installation site by the hands of the best and most experienced professionals.

The Installation Process – What Happens Onsite

Removal of the Old Unit: Our specialists would safely disconnect the entire air conditioning system for removal. In addition, they could remove ductworks, thermostats, or any damaged accessories, all in the best of conditions.

Before the Installation: In new systems or ductless installations, we may have to mobilize access holes, install mounting brackets or wall units, and connect freezings, drainages, and terminals.

New System Installation: These are the positioning of indoor and outdoor units; connection of the system’s electric lines and thermostats; installation of ductworks or mini split lines; charging of the refrigerant when necessary.

Testing and Calibration: We do a complete check on the system after installation is complete in order to ensure the desired airflow and temperature controls and safety and efficiency of the system and no refrigerants or electrical issues with the equipment and its communication through the thermostat.

Our team of engineers wouldn’t leave until the system has been configured perfectly to meet all requirements, and you become quite familiar with its operation.

Final Walkthrough & Customer Education

Instinctively after going through the commissioning, the system will be presented to you with an interactive opportunity for all questions to be raised. You will learn how to:

• Operate the thermostat and remote (for mini-splits).
• Change or clean filters.
• Schedule maintenance.
• Troubleshoot-early signs of a problem.

We believe in educating every customer so that he/she can confidently manage the new system on his/her own.

Post-Installation Support & Maintenance

Air conditioner installation is but the first step into keeping it humming through the years; hence, the air conditioning unit needs regular maintenance.

Our Maintenance Services Include:

• Cleaning of coils and filters
• Thermostat calibration
• Checking refrigerant levels
• Electrical inspection
• Testing airflow
