The One question you need to ask……
Just as with other professions and trades, there are both professional companies and fly-by-night operators in the HVAC industry. Since the average HVAC job will be installed and depended on for many, many years, it in the shopper’s best interest to acquaint himself or herself with some basic information that can greatly reduce the potential to end up paying thousands of dollars for what could end up being at least an uncomfortable system and at worst, an unsafe, even life-threatening system. Accepted practices within the industry may be circumvented and permitting avoided in which case, the final work is not inspected to insure all local codes were followed and you have a safe, reliable system in place.
