Looking for a good HVAC contractor
Hi all,
I am looking to replace my first floor 12 year old HVAC system, have a bigger return duct put in, and have the ducts cleaned. I have used a company called "72 Degrees" for the maintenance contracts for the past 2 years. They are listed on the SAS web site and give a discount. I received a quote from them for a "Deluxe" system for $5620. They also quoted me $7920 for a "Premier" system. This is for a normal outdoor heat-pack (not a split system). Can anyone recommend a better HVAC contractor that is not looking to "cut corners" and gives a warranty on parts and labor for 15 years? I had to replace the heat exchanger on this system that I thought was covered under warranty. It turns out the part was covered, but not the labor. Thanks for any referrals. |

Nothing like giving a location!. alt.home.repair or www.heatinghelp.com is where traffic and pros are. |

You can purchase from any HVAC Contractor, a 10 year labor insurance plan for parts and labor ; they use an Underwriter. Its not going to be cheap though. When looking for competitive proposals, talk to your neighbors and see who theyve used, go to the BBB , go to your local Courthouse and see if a particular Contractor has been involved in litigation where they are the Defendant , check their License , ask for phone numbers of the last 3 installations theyve done, get everything in writing, and refuse to put down any more than 50% , with balance upon completion. When the installation is done, have a knowledgeable friend come along for the final inspection . Pay by credit card in case you find they didnt provide something they should have, then youll have some safeguard. I am a retired HVAC Contractor and theres alot of Chumps in this trade. |
