Getting The Best Geothermal Air Conditioning

By Paul Adams


There are many types of HVAC systems in existence. They can be classified based on the source of energy or fuel type they use. For instance, there are heat pumps, gas furnaces, electric furnaces, propane heaters and hydronic heaters. When it comes to AC systems, there are many types of space-cooling systems. The first is the central AC. The second is the ductless AC. There are also window and geothermal air conditioning systems.

When you need to install any type of space cooling system, it is imperative you hire a competent HVAC contractor to do the installation. The ideal contractor should be able to design and install the space-cooling system. In addition to that, they should be able to maintain and repair the unit whenever it malfunctions. Since there are many potential service providers, you should not be in a rush to choose any firm.

Only firms that have valid licenses should be added to your shortlist. Therefore, it is imperative you check the HVAC license category, expiry date and state of issue before making a decision. Since only qualified contractors are normally licensed, you can be sure of getting quality services when you pick a licensed contractor.

Only firms that have a valid insurance policy should get any consideration. Therefore, you should take your time to check the validity of insurance policies that different firms have before making a decision. When you hire an insured and bonded contractor, you will be protected from all the liabilities that may arise.

The rates charged by different firms should be considered. By asking all the firms on your list to provide you with their quotes, you should be able to identify the most affordable contractor for your needs. Be sure to avoid any firm that refuses to offer a quote. This is because you are looking for the most affordable geothermal AC installation service.

During the search for a suitable contractor, it is important you pay attention to the guarantees and warranties provided by the shortlisted firms. Obviously, you want a customer satisfaction guarantee. You also want equipment that have a long-term warranty on both labor and parts. Be sure to compare warranties before making a decision.

If you know someone who has installed this type of AC system on their property, you should ask them to provide you with the contact details of their installer. By speaking to neighbors and friends, you should be able to make a list of the best installers and compare them to identify the best one for your specific needs. This will save you a lot of time and effort.

The ideal installer should offer a convenient maintenance contract. After all, installers usually offer great maintenance agreements for heating and cooling equipment they install. Therefore, you should compare maintenance contracts before making a decision. If an installer does not offer a maintenance agreement, you should avoid them. During spring and summer, the ideal installer should be able to give your system a tune up and service the entire system.
