If you are upgrading your air conditioning and having planning for air conditioning installation, then you'll need a quality contractor. The problem is, you may not know what to look for in a quality contractor. Here are a few of the things you need to look for in an air conditioning installation contractor. By looking for these key points, you will be able to better narrow down your options for the right system and the right installation contractor.
Consultation Availability
One of the first things you need to check for is a consultation option. The consultation is vital for your the air conditioning unit you will choose. You need a contractor to come in and check the area of the home and the space for the HVAC unit. Once they have evaluated these areas, they will be able to choose the appropriate size of the unit you will need. Keep in mind, this step is vital because if the size of the air conditioning is too small, then it will not maintain the temperature you want and may cause your energy bills to skyrocket.
Ductwork Check
You want to find an HVAC installation contractor that will check the ductwork prior to the air conditioning installation. The contractor should check for air leaks, for damage, and for areas were repair work may be necessary. You want to make sure the ductwork is in suitable condition for the new system. This also includes making sure the ductwork is not clogged or blocked in some way. The contractor may suggest having the ductwork cleaned prior to the consultation so they can check for any damage or issues before the air conditioning installation. If a ductwork check is not part of the installation service, consider using a different installation contractor.
Full Inspection
One of the final steps that your contractor should take is to do a full inspection of the unit. This is to make sure that the air conditioning installation went smoothly. They need to check the ductwork, air flow, and to make sure the motor and fans are working properly. They should offer you an inspection ticket after this step. The inspection ticket may be part of your work order receipt that simply states everything was in working order at the time of the installation.
These are just a few of the things you should check when you are looking for an air conditioning installation contractor. Once you have taken these key points into consideration, you can narrow down your options. Contact the contractors for consultations, pricing, and for installation options.
Hello! My name is Jake. I am the kind of guy who finds out about a subject and then who must learn everything he can about it. A subject I have focused on in recent times is HVAC. This might seem a little strange. However, my interest was sparked when an HVAC contractor visited my home to install a new air con system. He was really friendly and he took the time to answer my questions. Since then, I have been doing everything I can to learn about HVAC. I hope you enjoy reading what I have written on my blog.
