Just like buying any major appliance, the installation of a heating or AC unit is critical to the overall success and longevity of the system. Although it might seem to be a good idea at the time, many people pay for cheap HVAC installation only to have the system break down prematurely. This is why installing heating and air conditioning systems is just as important as the quality of the unit you purchase.
Save Money And Be Sure Your New HVAC System Works Efficiently
To help you make a good decision, here are a few helpful things to look for when it’s time to select a professional HVAC installation service.
Tip #1 – Always Do Your Research about Any HVAC Installation Company
If you’re in the market for buying a new HVAC system, either a heating unit or AC system, one of the first things you can do is conduct some research about professional companies that both sell and install them. There are three basic steps to this process:
- Contact the BBB. The Better Business Bureau has been a leading provider of quality reviews of service companies for decades. Their system is designed to properly investigate claims of unprofessional conduct of any company operating in a certain geographic area. A BBB rating of A+ is the best possible rating, so consider companies that have a A or A+ rating to be your best choices.
- Check Angieslist.com. The second step for checking out HVAC installation service is to go directly to previous customers that post on Angieslist.com. This website is unique in that they don’t pay people for reviews. They rely on factual and honest opinions of individuals like you that needed quality service completed at their home.
- Ask the company for referrals. If a heating or AC unit installation company will not give you customer referrals – move along. This should be easy for any company to offer, and actually something that a company that wants your business should offer you.
Tip #2 – Make Sure They Are Fully Certified
Another important step when selecting any HVAC company to work with is to ensure they are properly trained and certified to work on your specific HVAC system. Some of the important certifications any company should have including the following:
- NATE Certification: this program is intensive and ensures that any HVAC installation company or provider is fully trained on all aspects of heating and air conditioning systems.
- SRP Certified Contractor
- APS Certified Contractor
- Trane Comfort Specialist
Each of these certification programs are vital for any company to have, proving to customers that they are trained in professional HVAC installation procedures and understand all aspects of the entire home heating and AC unit system. By taking the time to become certified, the company also shows you a dedication to quality and customer service – two very important characteristics that any service professional should strive to achieve.
When you’re looking for somebody to complete installing heating and air conditioning, the last thing you want to do is try to save a penny or two. Always work with a professional company that will do the job correctly the first time. You’ll be glad you made that decision.
