What to Ask Potential HVAC Contractors

As much as having a brand-new HVAC system mounted in your home is an investment, it is also a significant expense. So, the process must be done properly. As you begin collecting quotes with local HVAC businesses, there are several questions worth asking that can help you make a thoroughly informed decision and save you cash in the long run.


1. What's the Correct Size For the Device?

Various cooling units have different sizes as well as abilities. Your HVAC company must inquire about the size of your home when establishing the proper size system to fulfill your requirements. The number of floors in your house also needs to be kept in mind when picking the best capacity unit.


2. Do My Air Ducts Need to be Upgraded?

Sometimes, your home's existing ductwork can continue to be intact so long as there are no damages that would negatively impact the home's air movement. It's still very important to find out whether any extra ductwork is needed as it can affect the scope and timeline of the brand-new device setup.


3. Which Brands Do You Offer?

Make sure the HVAC business you're considering deals with premium brands with long-standing online reputations for high quality, durability and customer support. Buying a top-quality system will minimize the chances of unnecessarily expensive problems coming up down the road.


4. What Are the Repayment Terms?

How much will you need to pay up-front? When will the last repayment be due? Is financing available? This info should be specified in your agreement. On the other hand, if you're obtaining funding via an HVAC business, make sure you know the funding and repayment terms, including any rates of interest or prepayment costs.


5. Does the System Come With a Guarantee?

A lot of new HVAC systems come with a manufacturer's service warranty. The manufacturing company of that unit might additionally offer repair service warranties. Be sure to find out the specific terms and additional information with regards to guarantees, don't hesitate to ask questions if something isn't clear about what the guarantee covers.

    Been using them for years after the owner Kevin showed up so fast when our furnace went out one year. Been a fan since! Now, Danny is so great to work with, also. So friendly, knowledgable, fast. You guys are the best!

    Danny came out on a Saturday to diagnosis and fix my mom’s hvac unit.   He was able to quickly determine what the problem was and had all the parts to complete the repair right then.  His communication was clear and did a really good job helping us understand what caused the issue.  I would definitely recommend him and will be calling his company with any needs in the future. Thanks again!

    Fantastic customer service! I had a furnace issue, called late morning and they fit me in for diagnostic right away. Technician was extremely knowledgable, walked me thru everything he found - unfortunately needed a new furnace (was 24 years old anyways), got it scheduled and installed within 24 hours as everything was in the warehouse (probably got lucky on what we needed). Overall excellent customer service, from scheduling to diagnostic, to installation. Highly recommend.

    WOW! So impressed with so many aspects of this company. We had an animal die under the house in and could smell it coming out of the vents. When I called around, pest control was weeks out and Best Owner Direct was able to come the next day. Our technician, Danny was absolutely INCREDIBLE! Very professional, kind and made sure we had the problem taken care of the same day so we could breathe again! I look forward to continuing to work with them in the future for our HVAC needs.

    Daniel was excellent, attentive to detail and committed to completing all tasks other installers overlooked. He worked tirelessly into the evening making sure everything was working properly with a water heather install, and he had a great attitude all along.

    Excellent customer service, great communications answering all of our questions, left the site clean, and very respectful of our space within the house. Arranged to have someone come from the office later in the week to explain how the thermostat works.
