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.

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.
