Tips for hiring a Pro

  • How do I choose the right HVAC contractor?
  • What HVAC system is right for my home?
  • When should I repair vs. replace my system?
  • How can I avoid HVAC scams?

Verify credentials

A reputable HVAC contractor will have proper state licensing, EPA certification for refrigerant handling, and liability insurance. Ask to see their license number and verify it with your state`s licensing board. Confirm they`re bonded and insured to protect you from liability during installation or repairs.

Read third-party reviews

Check independent platforms for feedback on their service quality, response times, and professionalism. Look for reviews mentioning installation quality, system performance, and how they handle warranty issues. Pay attention to their emergency service reliability and customer support after installation.

Check the work experience

Experienced HVAC contractors can show examples of installations similar to your needs—system replacements, ductwork, or efficiency upgrades. Ask for references from recent customers about their experience with system performance and energy savings. Verify they`re trained on modern equipment and familiar with local building codes.

System type and capacity

Central air systems work best for whole-home cooling with existing ductwork, while ductless mini-splits suit homes without ducts or room additions. Heat pumps provide both heating and cooling with high efficiency in moderate climates. Proper sizing through load calculations ensures your system isn`t oversized or undersized for your space.

Energy efficiency ratings

Higher SEER ratings mean lower operating costs and better cooling efficiency—look for systems rated 16 SEER or higher. HSPF ratings measure heating efficiency for heat pumps, with higher numbers indicating better performance. Energy-efficient systems cost more upfront but save significantly on monthly utility bills over their lifespan.

Indoor air quality features

Modern HVAC systems can include advanced filtration, humidity control, and air purification for healthier indoor air. Zoned systems allow different temperature settings for various areas of your home, improving comfort and efficiency. Consider features like variable-speed blowers and smart thermostats that optimize performance and reduce energy waste.

Age and efficiency

Systems over 15 years old typically cost more to operate and repair than newer energy-efficient models. Frequent breakdowns, rising energy bills, or declining performance indicate your system is near the end of its lifespan. Consider replacement when repair costs exceed 50% of a new system`s value.

Repair cost analysis

Minor repairs like thermostat issues, clogged filters, or refrigerant top-ups are cost-effective fixes for newer systems. Major component failures like compressor or heat exchanger problems often make replacement more economical. Factor in potential energy savings from a new efficient system when comparing repair versus replacement costs.

Performance problems

Uneven heating or cooling, excessive noise, or inability to maintain comfortable temperatures suggest serious system issues. Poor indoor air quality, excessive dust, or humidity problems may indicate ductwork or system capacity issues. Persistent problems despite repairs often mean it`s time for a complete system evaluation and possible replacement.

Bait-and-switch pricing

Be wary of extremely low advertised prices that balloon after the technician arrives and finds "additional problems." Some contractors quote basic installation but exclude essential items like permits, electrical work, or proper ductwork modifications. Always get detailed written estimates that specify exactly what`s included.

Oversized equipment sales

Dishonest contractors may recommend oversized systems claiming "bigger is better" when proper sizing requires load calculations. Oversized systems cycle on and off frequently, wasting energy and reducing comfort and equipment lifespan. Legitimate contractors perform Manual J calculations to determine the correct system size for your home.

High-pressure tactics

Avoid contractors who pressure you to decide immediately with claims of expiring discounts or limited availability. Scare tactics about refrigerant bans or exaggerated repair costs push unnecessary replacements. Reputable HVAC companies give you time to compare quotes and make informed decisions without artificial urgency.
