When you are installing a new air conditioner, you need to take into account both the first cost and the cost you pay up front on the price tag and lifetime costs, such as the factors that affect its output and energy usage for years to come. At Airinmotion, we can help you sort out the details and select the best possible unit. Because air conditioners are such crucial parts of a home and repairs can involve large sums of money, corrupt contractors sometimes target homeowners with unnecessary work or bait-and-switch schemes.

Ask questions
Play close attention to what an HVAC company introduces into your system, and avoid pitches to add performance improvement products. Things like refrigerant additives and leak-stops can affect your refrigerator system negatively. This is because they are not manufacturer approved. We often hear about problems with incorrect refrigerant levels. Some HVAC contractors do not know how to measure it correctly and they usually overcharge or undercharge the system. They might not do it intentionally, but some technicians are not experienced. To ensure the best chance of hiring a quality service companies, you should do a background check your HVAC contractor. At Airinmotion, we have bonding, licensing, and insurance. Moreover, although that does not necessarily provide evidence of a good contractor, it shows that our technicians have passed certain levels of qualification and training.

Do your research
We advise you to do your homework on the HVAC contractor you want to hire for your AC installation. Resist the pressure to do major work right away, and consider a second opinion on big-ticket items. You will often find that your system requires much less expensive repairs than initially suggested. The best way to do this is to seek out a second opinion an anything major. It could be an innocent oversight, or a scam trying to sell you on an expensive repair. We do a lot of second opinions and as a reputable HVAC contractor, we do that to help our clients.
