EN Webinar: How to find a good HVAC contractor

September 25 @ 12:00 pm - 1:00 pm PDT

Electrify Now

If you’re planning home upgrades, the most important decision is hiring a reliable contractor to be your ”electrification partner”.

Upgrading your HVAC system is a big investment, and you want to hire a trustworthy contractor to do the work. While it may seem daunting, finding an experienced contractor who understands the value of electrification will help you to relax knowing your project is in good hands. The right HVAC contractor will ensure you get the best solution for your home and avoid problems like installing the wrong equipment or installing it incorrectly.

There are lots of competent HVAC installers, but they are not all equally experienced with modern heat pumps and some may even try to steer you towards older, less efficient equipment that they are more familiar with. A good installer will have installed a lot of heat pump systems, be enthusiastic about their advantages and be able to specify the right system for your home, help with incentives and give you good advice about any weatherization or home sealing problems that you should address. Some may even be able to help with other electrification projects like preparing your home for an EV or installing a heat pump water heater.

In this 30-minute webinar, we’ll discuss:

  • Where to find and compare reputable contractors
  • How to share your motivations and priorities for your project, to help them make the best recommendations for your home.
  • The best questions to ask to determine a contractor’s experience and competency with heat pumps, and with treating your whole house as an energy system.
  • What the estimating process should include
  • What your bids should include (e.g. efficiency ratings, incentives info)
  • How to get and compare multiple bids for similar systems.
