Modern HVAC units allow you to control the air and heating in every room of your home. If you are looking to install a central air unit, you will need help from a professional HVAC company, but you want to make sure you’re choosing the right one. Independence Mechanical is KY’s  home for the sale and installation of heating and cooling units.

Below, the qualified technicians share four important questions to ask an HVAC company before hiring them: 

Are The Technicians Licensed & Certified?

In most states, HVAC contractors are required to carry a license. However, this may not be the case in your area. Ask for your company’s license number and verify it through the National Contractor License Service. Next, confirm with your company that the technicians are certified by North American Technician Excellence (NATE).

Will They Provide You With a Consultation?

Your HVAC company should offer a consultation before any service is performed. Do not select a company that does not offer consultations. During your consultation, your contractor will assess which type of HVAC unit you will need and will take into account the size and age of your home, as well as other factors, including insulation and local energy costs.

Are There Any Maintenance Instructions?

Most HVAC units require additional upkeep such as changing your filters monthly and operating your thermostat in a specific manner. Your contractor may also advise getting an inspection twice a year to ensure your unit is working properly.

Will They Follow Up After Installation?

30 days after the installation, your HVAC company should send a technician to inspect the unit to make sure it’s working as it should. Additionally, they should offer two yearly inspections and 24/7 emergency service.
