How to Select Your New Air Conditioner and Your HVAC Contractor?

Time to replace your air conditioning system? Picking a competent HVAC installer is the #1 crucial decision you will make. The make and model you select will depend on this first decision… and budgetary factors, of course.

Based on field experience accumulated from 1959, D&H AC has put two lists of criteria helping you to make a strong, well-thought choice of contractor.

What criteria do you use to select your HVAC contractor?

Here are 4 selection criteria that are easy to verify an apply to any contractor bidding on your air conditioner replacement project:

• Is the contractor licensed with the ROC?
• Is the contractor properly insured, including Workers’ Comp?
• During the information gathering phase, does the contractor act as a guide taking information and presenting relevant ansswers to your questions?
• How does the installer represent the HVAC manufacturers, how does he propose to ensure compliance with the manufacturer’s warranty?

There can’t be any shortcuts in selecting the right installer: your comfort depends on it for years to come, the life of your system depends on it, and the validity of your warranties is tied to this choice.

How to interview the HVAC contractors that bid on your project

• Do they perform a full inspection and analysis of your home or office space?
• Do they present basic engineering calculations, such as heat gain/loss?
• Do they assure you to get a permit?
• Do they ask questions about your lifestyle (indoor living vs. outdoor living, children and grand-children, power usage, budget, etc…) and do they answer your own questions?
• Do they provide a written process to ensure a perfect match between your expectations and the actual result?

In this video, Brett Wright, President of D&H Air Conditioning, explains more in details the precautions you ought to take when selecting your HVAC contractor.

This includes explaining in details the manufacturer’s warranties. All too often, these warranties are not understood well enough.
