What To Look For In
a Quality Heating And Air Conditioning Contractor.
Most people take for granted the comfort of their central air conditioner or
furnace until something goes wrong and the unit needs to be serviced or
replaced. When this happens, you need a quality heating, ventilating, and
air conditioning (HVAC) contractor who is knowledgeable, skilled and
qualified to do the job.
A quality contractor:
- Has the skill and knowledge to not only service your equipment, but if
necessary, to design and install the right system for you.
- A quality contractor is up-to-date on the newest developments in
equipment, technology and design procedures in order to choose a system
which will be most efficient and most reliable - the right system for you.
- A heating, ventilating and air conditioning system is designed to suit
your needs. Your contractor selects each part of the system individually
so that everything works at top efficiency to provide the comfort you
need. All the system components are matched - the furnace, the condensing
unit, fans and blowers, air conditioning coil, the ductwork - produce a
heating and cooling system that will work best for you.
- A quality contractor listens to your problems and cares about your
comfort. He attempts to find out if any rooms are too drafty or dry during
the winter, or too hot or damp during the summer.
- A quality contractor can help determine if your home or building is
prone to indoor air pollution problems due to poor air turnover or high
humidity. If allergies are a problem, a quality contractor can properly
service your heating and air conditioning system and recommend system
accessories that may prevent conditions which adversely affect health and
comfort.
- A quality contractor is concerned about protecting the environment.
Chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) and hydrochlorofluorocarbons (HCFCs) - used as
air conditioning refrigerants, among other things - have been linked to
the destruction of the earth's ozone layer. A quality contractor will not
release refrigerant in the atmosphere, and is trained in the proper
techniques for recovering, recycling and/or reclaiming, and safe disposal
of used refrigerant.
- A quality contractor will show you how to care for your system on a
day-to-day basis - for example, how to change the filter and how to
operate the thermostat. And he will advise you about symptoms which could
signal that there might be a problem with the equipment. After he has
serviced the equipment, he will let you know when it should be serviced
again.
- If a new system is in order, a quality contractor will perform a load
calculation and explain any changes which might be necessary in your duct
system. He will present options to help you make the best decision
regarding replacing your old system.
- A quality contractor offers planned preventive maintenance service to
maximize the life of your equipment, and he honors the terms of the
warranty on the equipment throughout the warranty period.
- A quality contractor does not offer price as the only consideration.
While it is a major factor, there are often valid reasons for price
differences.
- A quality contractor will follow up with you to make certain that you
are satisfied with the service.
- A quality contractor will provide references on request. Find out if
other customers were satisfied with his work.
- A quality contractor is a member of trade organizations such as Air
Conditioning Contractors of America (ACCA) or Refrigeration Service
Engineers Society (RSES). These contractors have access to the latest
technical information concerning HVAC systems.
