How to choose an HVAC contractor
- Give the system's age, size (tons) and the symptom; a photo of the unit's data plate helps.
- Ask for the contractor's license and check it with the state.
- For a replacement, ask what is included: removal, permit, inspection, line set, thermostat.
- Compare quotes on the same equipment size and efficiency.
