System Size and Home Needs
HVAC equipment should be appropriately sized for the home. Ask how sizing was determined and whether ductwork, insulation, or air leakage affects the recommendation.
Equipment and Efficiency
Compare system type, efficiency ratings, controls, warranty terms, maintenance requirements, and expected operating considerations. The right choice depends on climate and home characteristics.
Installation Scope
An estimate may include equipment, labor, refrigerant or electrical work, duct modifications, permits, disposal, thermostat, and startup/testing. Make sure the scope is written clearly.
Repair or Replace?
Consider system age, repair history, comfort, reliability, efficiency, and the cost of the proposed repair. A professional diagnosis can help you make a more informed decision.
