Before completing the air conditioner installation, talk to the technician about what you are getting exactly. It is a terrific idea to discuss the options available to you.

Will they handle the removal and installation of the outside condensers? You need to know exactly what is in the contract before moving forward.
You will want to make sure someone is available at your home during the installation process. Ultimately, it is best if you are right there beside the professional so you can learn what he or she is doing. You should also get a guarantee from the company that the system was installed properly.
