Saving Money When Hiring a Professional

Replacing your furnace or extending your heating and cooling system is a complicated project and requires the skills of a trained technician.

  • You want to make sure you are hiring the right person for the job, saving money, and still ensuring top of the line quality.

The best lead on a contractor is a trusted referral from a family member or neighbor. It’s like a seal of approval when you can get a referral from someone you know that passes along a name of a contractor that they trust based on past experiences. You should always look at these three things when searching for a contractor. Years in business, ratings and memberships with trusted organizations, and solid warranties. Hiring the right HVAC contractor will allow you to save money with warranty and service issues. A professional will also guide you through other steps that keep the costs of installing and running your heating and cooling system down. It’s important to choose the proper model for your home. You would be surprised how much money is wasted by those who install the wrong size of system for their home. Your HVAC contractor can collect load data and manufacturer information that you can use to influence your decision when purchasing a new system that best suits your space and needs. When extending your HVAC system with a home addition or renovation, be sure to have your heating contractor calculate whether your existing system can handle the load. Other methods of cooling and heating may need to be added when extending a space within your home. Always ask your contractor if you are entitled to any rebates for upgrades. You can save 10-30% of the cost just by sending in a rebate application. Your contractor should be able to give you comparisons that consider your climate, insulation in your home, and fuel that you use. Find the best contractor, research the best models for your specific situation and investigate any rebate offers. This will ensure you save the most money possible.
