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 Furnace

Efficiency Rating

A furnace with a good ENERGY STAR Rating means that your unit will run efficiently, have less impact on the environment and save you money over time. ENERGY STAR Ratings are overseen by the EPA and units undergo strict assessments.

Features

Furnaces are equipped with a variety of fan systems which are suited to different home sizes and layouts. Establish what size is appropriate for your home, because, in the case of furnaces, bigger is not always better. Then, decide which features are most important to you. Do you value quietness? Efficiency? Zoned heating? There are a range of furnaces on the market offering distinct features to suit your individual needs.

An Overview of Some Common Modern Furnace Features

• Variable speed blowers – A furnace with a variable speed blower motor will blow at different speeds, resulting in better airflow control throughout your home. This increase in precision means greater efficiency, the ability to heat specific areas of your home and better humidity control, as well as the potential for better air quality, as air will be circulated continuously through the furnace filter.
• Zoned heating – Zoned heating allows you to control the temperature of specified areas, or “zones,” in your home independently from each other. The flow of air to different zones is enabled by the opening and closing of valves, known as dampers, in ductwork and is completely controlled and customized with the thermostat. Zoned heating allows consistent heating throughout your space or temperatures tailored specifically to rooms, or their residents.
• Dual heat exchangers – A heat exchanger refers to the tubes or coils within a furnace which heat the air. With dual heat exchangers, even more heat can be drawn from the burned gas, resulting in greater efficiency and consistency of temperature throughout your home, especially when winter is in full swing.

Price and Overall Value

A high-efficiency furnace may mean more money up front, but will give you energy savings in the long run. Tailor your purchase to match an industry or government rebate and get money back, too.

Warranty

A manufacturer’s warranty indicates their faith in their product and duration will vary depending on the make and model you select. Some providers also offer extended warranties for an extra charge. Reputable HVAC companies will provide a licensed, experienced installation technician and should provide a satisfaction guarantee.

Quietness

A good furnace shouldn’t rattle the rafters while it heats your home. Many furnaces now offer noise-reduction features and will list the decibel level of each model in the product specifications. We’ve also compiled a list of the quietest furnace models on the market, for every budget.
