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

When you’re in the market for a new central air conditioner, it makes sense to invest in an energy-efficient central air conditioner that will help you decrease your monthly energy bills. For Canadian summer temperatures, many Ottawa residents find that a central air conditioner between 14-18 SEER (Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio) provides an optimal level of energy-efficiency and return on investment.

A licensed HVAC supplier will recommend the size of central air conditioner unit you require based on the size of the area you need to cool. Home cooling problems often arise when consumers purchase a system that is too large or small to keep up with their home cooling needs.

Installation

Your home has its own unique cooling needs, and correct installation is an important part of ensuring optimal system performance. Indoor coils can be challenging to fit, but a licensed HVAC technician can confirm that the installation is done properly and in a way that supports higher system performance. Coil quality is also a potential issue, so your technician will confirm the integrity of its condition before installation.

High-Efficiency A/C Pricing

If you buy a new high-efficiency central A/C unit in Ottawa, you can expect to pay an average of $2500 to $7000. Exact pricing will depend on the model you choose as well as its size, your location, and the HVAC contractor you buy your unit from. It is always a good idea to get quotes from several different HVAC suppliers and go with one that offers a labour warranty.

Financing Options

Buying a new central air conditioner can be more affordable than many Ottawa homeowners initially assume. In addition to standard financing, zero-interest and bad-credit loans are available, providing an option for practically every financial situation.

If you are an Ottawa homeowner planning to buy a new energy-efficient home cooling system this spring, these financing options can help ensure that budget challenges do not prevent you from enjoying a cool and energy-efficient home for a long time to come.
