When it comes to air conditioning installation, it's important that you choose a skilled and qualified contractor for your home, explained Michael Scott, the owner of Riverside Heating and Air Conditioning Inc. Here, Scott talks about what to look for when you call in a home air conditioning expert, and what you can expect when he arrives to do the job.
Specializing in residential and commercial air conditioning installation, my company Riverside Heating and Air Conditioning Inc has served the clients in Memphis, TN area for many years. Our customer base is home air conditioning installation, and when you are choosing an installation contractor for your home, you must make sure that he is trained and qualified in doing residential installation.
The Right Installation Company
When looking for the right installation contractor, it's important the company you choose has certified employees who are members of NATE, the North American Technician Excellence. It is an independent testing organization that qualifies technicians in our industry as being the best of the best. You have to take a test to make sure you qualify to become a member. In addition, it's also important that the contractor has the proper insurance, the proper licensing, and that this is something that he does every day.
You want to make sure that the contractor can provide references from past and current customers, and that he shows before and after pictures of installs. That is very important so that you can see what kind of work he does at the end of the day, and that when he takes out an old system, he knows how to put it back in and make sure it looks neat and clean. You also want to make sure that your HVAC company drug-tests its employees and does criminal background checks.
A good contractor will offer you a top-of-the-line piece of equipment from a top-of-the-line manufacturer.We pride ourselves on only offering our customers the most well-known manufacturing brands around. Finally, you want to make sure your contractor is in good standing with the Better Business Bureau we have received an "A" rating from them.
What Our Skilled Technician Does
If you call us, then our trained technician will come to your home and do the installation. First of all, he will lay out some floor protection (a drop cloth of something of that nature) to make sure he does not track up your home. Then he will remove the outdoor unit, dispose of it properly, and disconnect all the ductwork from the indoor unit. He will flush out the copper line set next. After that, he will start the reinstallation process, setting equipment up and making sure that it is properly sealed when he puts new equipment together, so that you do not have any air leaks.
He connects the indoor and outdoor units together through the copper line set, and then does what is called pulling a vacuum. It removes all the moisture from that copper line set. Once he has done that, he can turn the system on and it will be operational. At last, he will clean up after himself and put everything back.
At Riverside Heating and Air Conditioning Inc., we install three to four systems a week here in Memphis. It's something we do daily, we are very familiar with it, and we have a lot of experience in it. We do free estimates, so give us a call today and see what we can do for you. Our hundreds of satisfied Memphis customers can't be wrong!
