Should You Replace Ductwork When Installing a New AC?
Not always. During your free estimate, we’ll inspect your ductwork’s age, condition, and design. If you experience hot rooms or are upgrading to a high-SEER system, we’ll explain if modifications are recommended. For most first-time AC replacements, your ducts are likely fine, but we’ll provide clear options if changes could improve airflow and comfort.
Install a new ac & duct system without costly mistakes.
1. Choose a company that has 24 hour service.
- The most likely time to find your air conditioner down is when you come home after a long workday or on the weekend when you have guests.
- Knowing your new ac system contractor will be there for you when you need them is very important!
- We suggest calling your HVAC replacement contractor late in the evening or on the weekend to see if you can get through.
2. Avoid companies that only sell AC equipment, but lack a strong service department.
- All companies claim to provide great service but put them to the test.
- Call your prospective HVAC replacement contractors from an alternate phone and explain that you have a 2-year-old system which should still be under manufacturer warranty.
- If they don’t schedule you a service call in timely manner, RUN!
- Do not hire an HVAC installation contractors without a strong service departments. What if the machine they sell you fails under warranty?
- Wait for follow up calls from new ac system contractors and if no one calls back question their ability to service you in the future.
3. The old adage that, “You get what you pay for,” is especially true for an air conditioning quote.
- An A/C system change-out is one of the more expensive home repairs/improvements that most homeowners experience.
- You are likely to have “sticker shock” and the lowest bid may be very attractive, but beware of several terrible cost cutting methods.
- Pulling a permit can add 15-20% to the cost of the ac installation but it’s for your protection. The permit will be inspected by the county to make sure that everything is installed up to code. Make sure the same company name is in all three places: Invoice, Permit, Installing Crew.
- Many contractors cut corners on permits, insurance, licensing, etc.
- All estimates you receive should have contractor license number that can be verified HERE myfloridalicense.com DBPR
4. Check online Reviews!
- Before choosing an air conditioning contractor, make sure that the company holds a good rapport among customers and has proven history of quality and timely services.
- Confirm with Better Business Bureau that the company history of complaints and lawsuits and offered resolutions.
- Check all third-party review sites such as: Google, Yelp, & Angie’s List to gather up your facts regarding the contractor performance and customer service.
5. Ask for a detailed air conditioning replacement proposal.
- A detailed HVAC installation proposal is a sign of a quality contractor, reflecting that they are willing to back up their offer and stand behind the guarantees made.
- Be cautious of ac replacement proposals with unreasonable disclaimers before you sign.
- Disclaimers can be hidden in watermark writing on back of the contract, or link to a web page with a disclaimers list. Some disclaimers are nasty holding your home insurance responsible before the contractor’s general liability.
- Ask for an insurance certificate made out in your name and address. Do not choose a company with minimum coverage.
Look for Contractor Guarantees
A trustworthy contractor won’t keep you guessing about the costs or the results. When they give you a price, that’s what you should expect on the final bill—no last-minute surprises. If they make a promise, such as a satisfaction guarantee or “we’ll make it right or refund your money,” get it in writing. Quality contractors are confident enough to back up their work with written commitments:
- Clear Pricing: The total cost should be as promised, with no hidden fees tacked on later.
- Satisfaction Guarantee: If you’re not happy, they’ll fix it or refund your money—no excuses or complicated stories.
- Respect for Your Home: If something is damaged or dirtied during the job, they’ll clean or repair it without issue.
- Safety and Security: You should feel comfortable with the people coming into your home, knowing they’re vetted professionals.
Having these guarantees spelled out in your proposal means you’re dealing with a contractor who takes your investment seriously and values your peace of mind.
6. A contractor should have in-depth knowledge about your Air Conditioning System Warranties and its installation process.
-
- Ask what the contractor does above what is required by the permit process.
- Discuss who will schedule permit, many times the worst part of new A/C system install, definitely better if you contractor takes care of contacting county and you for appt and every time it’s needed.
- Find out if you or the contractor will register your Manufacturer parts warranty or if you have to. We see so many sad cases where a simple registration would and save big bucks.
- Ask about labor warranty, how long is it?, is it through contractor or other company?, what type of maintenance is required to maintain it?, Does it need to be registered? What parts are included not covered by manufacturer warranty? (freon, t-stat, breakers, & etc)
Warranty Wisdom
Don’t leave warranty details to chance. An experienced contractor will clearly explain what’s covered under manufacturer and labor warranties as well as any maintenance requirements, so you won’t get caught off guard. Ask about:
- Who is responsible for registering your warranty (you or the contractor)?
- What is the labor warranty’s duration and what does it cover?
- Are there specific maintenance requirements you must follow?
- Which components (like Freon, thermostats, or breakers) may not be included?
A contractor who’s upfront about these details—and goes beyond the bare minimum required by codes and permits—is one you can trust for the long haul.
7. Your contractor should have knowledge of the newest developments in equipment, technology and design procedures.
- The best free ac quote will help you choose an efficient and reliable system that works best for you and your family needs.
- Top air conditioning replacement contractors will help you determine if your home is prone to indoor air pollution problems which may affect health and comfort of your family.
A great contractor won’t just stop at the basics—they should be able to assess, install, or replace any component your home might need, including:
- Air conditioners
- Heat pumps
- Air handlers
- Gas or oil furnaces
- Boilers
- Geothermal systems
- Ductless units
Beyond temperature control, your contractor should also offer solutions to improve overall indoor comfort and air quality, such as:
- Humidifiers and dehumidifiers
- Ultraviolet air purifiers
- Media air cleaners
- Duct cleaning and sealing services
- Residential or commercial packaged units
A comprehensive approach ensures your system is tailored not just to keep you cool, but to support healthier air and maximum efficiency throughout your home.
- The ideal installation contractor for you will be trained in the techniques for recovering, reclaiming and disposing of used refrigerant.
