How to Guarantee a Successful HVAC Installation

In any HVAC installation job, we want to obtain excellent results to get the quality of life you deserve. Certain things affect if you get a good or bad outcome. If you want a smooth HVAC, we share some of the key points that guarantee success and durability.

Count On a Professional

The person you choose to execute your HVAC installation is the primary dictator of the job’s quality and results. You don’t want to hire whomever, but it can be hard to determine who to trust among the numerous HVAC companies and technicians.

Thankfully, some indicators can easily guide you in your decision. The company or technician you select for your HVAC installation must be:

1. Experienced: With years of experience comes a lot of acquired knowledge and field training that isn’t only useful to provide a safe HVAC installation and superior customer attention. While this doesn’t mean new technicians without experience are wrong, if you lean towards a more reliable choice, a more experienced HVAC installation technician is the way to go.
2. Certified: When you review your possible prospects for an HVAC installation project, always look out or ask if they have a NATE (North American Technician Excellence) certification. If it’s openly displayed, it’s a great sign.
3. Reputable: It is one thing when a company or technician speaks about their job, but perhaps, their clients tell a different story. Most of us recur to referrals at all times. Client reviews and referrals will be your sign to point you in the right decision for your HVAC installation.
4. Licensed & Insured: Naturally, a good HVAC technician or company will be licensed & insured. License and insurance should always be considered a must.

Find the Right HVAC System for Your Requirements

There are many brands, models, types, and sizes of HVAC systems to choose from, which can seem overwhelming. To make things more straightforward, we’ll go through the fundamental aspects you should consider when selecting one for your HVAC installation.

Type: 

You can go with hybrid or individual units for heating and cooling. Here’s a small list of the available options for all our HVAC needs:

• Furnaces
• Split systems
• Ductless mini-split systems
• Heat Pumps
• Packaged heating and air conditioning units.

Regarding the type of HVAC system, you’ll also want to consider the unit’s brand, model, and size. These will influence the quality and have the right capacity for your property.

Cost:

When you think about your unit’s cost, it doesn’t only come down to the upfront price. It’s essential to learn about the HVAC installation, maintenance, or replacement costs your system has. You also want to check the efficiency rating to get an idea of operation costs.

Keep in mind that generally, replacing ducted HVAC systems costs more than replacing ductless systems.

Ducted or Ductless? 

If you are unsure if you should go for a ducted HVAC or ductless HVAC system before installation, consider if there’s enough size in the walls or ceilings to install the ducts. 

Both systems offer excellent benefits. For ducted systems, it may be better airflow and a seamless design. For ductless, it may be energy efficiency and air quality. You can go with your preference if your property has the required configurations.

On the other hand, the answer is more straightforward if you already have ductwork. All you have to do is replace your HVAC unit.
