Opting to build a home is exciting, as it gives you the chance to customize your space and create a house that is just as functional as it is beautiful. While your builder might already have an HVAC contractor in mind, most homeowners can decide who they want to work with to create a custom heating and cooling system. Here are a few tips for selecting the right HVAC contractor for your new build. 

What Should You Look for in an HVAC Contractor?

Years of experience is crucial, especially when you will be trusting HVAC experts to install a new system. Talk with contractors about their experience performing new installations, and ask which new systems they recommend for homes in your area. Ask about features, such as zoned heating, smart thermostats, and variable speed fans that start up slowly to reduce noise and energy consumption. 

Think about the special needs your home will have, and how HVAC professionals can assist in resolving those issues. For instance, if you have family members with allergies, talk with your HVAC technicians about installing systems fitted with high MERV filters to remove more fine particulates from the air. Check recent client reviews and testimonials to read about other client’s experiences, and pay attention to the way the company responds to negative comments online. Look for a team that is truly professional, and who guarantees their work. 

Which Other Services Are Helpful to New Homeowners? 

While it can help to find an HVAC contractor with experience in new installations, working with the right team can make home maintenance easier throughout your years as a homeowner. Ask different HVAC contractors if they offer preventative maintenance programs and other services like duct cleaning, humidity control, emergency repairs, and ductless heating and air conditioning, in case your future needs ever change.
