Residential AC Install and Furnace Replacement

Project Overview

This project involved replacing two outdated furnaces with modern, high-efficiency systems, installing two air conditioning units, and adding humidification to address multiple homeowner concerns. The original furnaces, over 40 years old, were inefficient and struggled to heat the home properly, prompting the need for a modern solution. Additionally, the home previously lacked air conditioning, which caused discomfort during warmer months. This upgrade significantly improved comfort, especially during the past summer, while providing consistent heating, improved airflow, and reliable cooling. The new systems were also designed to increase energy efficiency and lower utility bills.

Unique Challenges

One significant challenge involved installing the air conditioning systems. The piping required access through a drywalled ceiling. To address this, the team created an access panel to ensure long-term ease of maintenance and troubleshooting. Before proceeding, the team walked the homeowner through the work process, including any potential damage, and collaborated to find a solution that balanced efficiency and aesthetics.

Improvements Made

The new systems delivered several key improvements:

• Better Airflow: Enhanced circulation for consistent heating and cooling.
• Increased Energy Efficiency: Noticeable reductions in utility bills immediately after installation.
• Reduced Noise: Quieter operation, which significantly improved comfort in the home.
• Improved Comfort: Reliable heating and cooling year-round, including humidification for added air quality.

Customer Experience

The homeowner was extremely satisfied with the project outcome. They praised the Aries team for their professionalism, communication, and attention to detail. The team took proactive measures to ensure quality, including:

• Placing floor runners from the door to the mechanical room to keep the home clean.
• Maintaining clear communication throughout the project.
• Providing courteous and professional service from start to finish.

Timeline

The project was completed in approximately two and a half to three days:

• Two days for furnace and AC installation.
• A follow-up visit to commission the air conditioning once outdoor temperatures allowed for testing.

Key Benefits & Results

The new system has provided the homeowner with several long-term benefits:

• Lower Utility Bills: Immediate energy savings, particularly on the heating side.
• Consistent Heating & Cooling: A dramatic improvement in indoor comfort and airflow.
• Reduced Noise: Noticeably quieter operation for a more peaceful home environment.
• Eco-Friendliness: Modern, energy-efficient systems reduce environmental impact.
