If you’re installing a new HVAC system, do your homework. With today’s internet offerings, you might be tempted to purchase a system on-line and either install it yourself or hire someone to do it. First, you’ll save yourself a lot of time and worry by purchasing your system through a reputable HVAC contractor who can provide you with an accurate estimate and a professional, detailed installation. An HVAC technician is trained to know the right system for your home – from the correct unit size to the feasibility of the existing duct work. Most HVAC dealers work with a certain brand or brands of hardware. They’ve found these brands to be reliable, profitable and smooth for installation. By working with certain brands, the HVAC professionals can solve any issues that arise on installation or beyond, and because they’ve developed a relationship with the brand representatives, they are able to get things done in a timely manner. Your HVAC contractor is considered an expert installer, and they get that way by being intimately familiar with one or two brands of systems. If you have your sights set on a certain brand, discuss it with your technician and see how his preferred brand stacks up against yours.
In reality, if you purchase a unit on-line, you will probably be hard pressed to find a contractor who will install it. There are too many glitches – missing parts, incorrect size for your home, uncomplimentary ductwork. If you’re hoping to save big bucks by buying on the internet, use that as a negotiating tool with your professional HVAC dealer. If you can show a lower price, often the dealer will meet it. Dealers want satisfied customers. One way to get them is to have as much control of the situation as possible – from initial estimate and ordering through finished installation and regular maintenance. Have high expectations of your HVAC dealer. The professional ones will exceed those expectations.
