subject: Choose Best Destin Hvac Air Conditioning Hvac Heating Contractor [print this page] Upgrading or installing a new HVAC Air Conditioning and HVAC Heating System is not a do it yourself type of job and can be very confusing. You will need help from a fully qualified and licensed HVAC contractor. Here is the typical process for finding and selecting a qualified HVAC System professional. You should be greeted on the telephone with a smile with the technicians ready to answer your questions. You should be able to HEAR the Smile just like you hear the person who is impatient.
Ask questions if you have them! Find out how long they expect to be there, the type of work, unit, extras that are needed, or you have asked to have included in the bid. These might include Green Energy Star rated products that qualify for the new energy tax credits, electronic air cleaners, hybrid systems that provide heating, cooling, tankless hot water heaters that save water and energy. Will they go over the instructions with you when they are done? Will they have time to explain how to run the thermostat and how to change the filters? Is the breaker marked if they had to install a new one? Get as informed as you need to feel comfortable with the new system. Make sure the area where your technicians will be working is clear and has enough working room. If they need to walk though the house as they are working, ask them to wear boot covers on their shoes, if not already on. The time the HVAC Air Conditioning and HVAC Heating Contractor takes to complete your specified job will depend on the specific project, usually 4-6 hours. Hopefully you have found a reputable and trustworthy HVAC Systems contractor, so leaving the house if you need to for a little while should not be a worry.
After the HVAC Air Conditioning and HVAC Heating System work is completed, your HVAC Contractor should tidy up their work area. Your HVAC System Contractor should go over the unit they installed, show you how to access the filters, discuss other unit specific information and review how to work the thermostat. Help yourself out here by taking notes! Make sure you have all your of questions ready for your HVAC Contractor about your new system. A few important questions are, how often should I have my new air conditioning and heating system serviced? Can those filters be cleaned or should I change them out all together? How often should I change the filters and what brand and size do I need? You should place the HVAC Air Conditioning and HVAC Heating Company sticker on the newly installed unit, so reaching them should be easy. Future home owners will be especially appreciative of your helping them out with this action. At this point, you will have some paperwork to review, sign and payment to be made. Make sure you read everything carefully and confirm completed work is as you expected. You reviewed most of this when you signed the proposal, but final paperwork may include information about the unit warranty, limitations, a statement that the work was done and that the unit is working properly. If you have not had an informational walk through by this time, make sure to ask them to do so! You should get copies of the paperwork and manuals for the new unit. A great way to store these is in a zip lock bag along with any small parts. Lastly, you should also ask if they have a Service Agreement program. A service agreement program can save you money on maintaining your new HVAC unit and will likely make you a priority family customer.
With the contractor gone, your questions answered, you and your family can sit back and relax in the comfort of your new HVAC Air Conditioning and HVAC Heating System. Enjoy!
