Installing A Geothermal Air Conditioning System

By Paul Adams


Property owners have a wide range of options for heating and cooling their properties. For instance, they can install a gas, propane, wood or electric furnace to heat their property. They can also use heat pumps and geothermal systems. During the hot season, property owners can use window air conditioners, ductless AC systems, central AC systems or a geothermal air conditioning system to keep cool. Whatever the case, proper design and installation by a competent contractor is needed.

When you need to install any type of space cooling system, it is imperative you hire a competent HVAC contractor to do the installation. The ideal contractor should be able to design and install the space-cooling system. In addition to that, they should be able to maintain and repair the unit whenever it malfunctions. Since there are many potential service providers, you should not be in a rush to choose any firm.

Only firms that have valid licenses should be added to your shortlist. Therefore, it is imperative you check the HVAC license category, expiry date and state of issue before making a decision. Since only qualified contractors are normally licensed, you can be sure of getting quality services when you pick a licensed contractor.

The insurance policies that different firms have must be checked to ensure all the risks are properly covered. The ideal contractor, therefore, must be insured and bonded. If a firm is not insured, they will expose you to a lot of liabilities, so you should avoid them. Fortunately, the top HVAC contractors in any city are usually fully insured and bonded.

The rates charged by different firms should be considered. By asking all the firms on your list to provide you with their quotes, you should be able to identify the most affordable contractor for your needs. Be sure to avoid any firm that refuses to offer a quote. This is because you are looking for the most affordable geothermal AC installation service.

When searching for a suitable installer, you have to pay attention to the warranties provided by different firms on their equipment. You want equipment that come with a long term warranty on parts and labor. Therefore, you have to check whether or not a firm installs equipment that come with warranties and guarantees. Any firm that does not offer guarantees should be avoided.

If a neighbor has installed this type of system in their home, you should ask them for recommendations. Be sure to ask anyone who uses this type of system to recommend their installer. After getting the recommendations, you should be able to create a shortlist and compare local contractors. By searching the web for additional information about those firms, you will be able to identify the best one among them.

The ideal installer should offer a convenient maintenance contract. After all, installers usually offer great maintenance agreements for heating and cooling equipment they install. Therefore, you should compare maintenance contracts before making a decision. If an installer does not offer a maintenance agreement, you should avoid them. During spring and summer, the ideal installer should be able to give your system a tune up and service the entire system.
