What to look for when choosing a heating & air conditioning contractor

People often fret over the brand of furnace to buy, but the contractor you choose is every bit as important. Not only is the quality of the workmanship and installation crucial to the furnace's lifespan, the company you choose will be relied on for future servicing and warranty coverage.

Always choose an established company that has:

• Good, independently-verified feedback
• A solid track record and no outstanding disputes
• Verified insurance, licenses, and certifications
• Experienced staff, with manufacturer training
• Registered to offer rebates

Checking all of these things is difficult and time-consuming.

That's why we've already done it for you!

Purchasing a High-Efficiency Central A/C

Upgrading your home cooling system to a high-efficiency central air conditioner will keep you comfortable in the summer heat while reducing your monthly energy bills. Central A/C systems available in Canada have a Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio (SEER) sticker that specifies their energy-efficiency. SEER ratings range from 13-20+. The higher the range, the more energy efficient the unit.

Before buying a new central air conditioner for your home in Edmonton, consult a licensed HVAC contractor to identify the correct size of central air conditioner you need to cool your home efficiently. Getting the right size is especially important because if the central A/C system is too small, it will work too hard to meet the cooling demands on your home, causing frequent on and off cycling. A central A/C unit that is too large will not be able to do a good job of extracting humidity from the air.

Installation

Indoor coils can be challenging to fit, affecting installation costs. Coil quality will also affect the system’s overall efficiency, so ensure that the quality is good before you buy. Correct installation can have an impact on the overall performance of your central A/C unit. With that in mind, it’s important to ensure that you have a licensed HVAC technician install your new central A/C system.

In Edmonton, consumers wanting to purchase a new, high-efficiency central A/C unit can expect to pay approximately $3000 to $6000.
