Install vs set up

Dear users,

I am wondering what the difference between set up and istall is. Could you please help me? Why is it better to use install in the following sentence: We'll come and install your new central heating system on Monday.

Best

Install suggests bringing in the various components, running pipes, wires and ducts, and connecting everything together. Set up suggests adjusting settings and making sure it all works as it should.
