HVAC units can be expensive. Even the cheapest unit will run hundreds to thousands of dollars for installation, maintenance and repairs. When trying to decide what HVAC company to go with, it’s temping to choose the cheapest option out there. After all, why should you spend more than you have to? Unfortunately, this line of thinking can cost big in the long term. Here’s what happens when you HVAC price shop.
Poor workmanship
If a company is driven by low prices, they may not put a lot of money into training their technicians or investing in high-quality HVAC systems for their customers. Poor insulation, gas leaks, miscommunications with outsourced subcontractors, and other costly mistakes can all happen. It’s important to go with a reputable company that is dedicated to serve you and your safety, not their wallet.
The wrong fit
If the HVAC company is rushing to install a system in your home, they may not be thinking about you or your needs. They sell you a piece of equipment and install it for you, but it may not be the right choice for you at all.
If the HVAC system they install is too small, you may suffer with a house that never gets properly cool. If it’s too big, you may pay more than you need to get a comfortable environment. Even if the HVAC system is the right size, if it doesn’t fit the flow of your home it can also cause problems. A good HVAC company will take a look at your home and suggest a system right for the space.
More expensive
You may start out with a cheap company to save money, but you may end up paying more in the long term. When most homeowners find new problems due to poor workmanship, hiring a qualified professional to clean up a poor job can really add up.
Just like you might regret purchasing a used car from the cheapest car lot in town after the repair bills start rolling in, the cheapest HVAC can also end up being very expensive.
Price shopping may save money in the short term, but it can end up being very expensive over the long term. If you are buying an HVAC system in the hopes of having a cool and comfortable environment, choose one that will be trouble free instead of a nightmare.
A good HVAC company won’t be the cheapest one out there, but it will have a lot of high quality reviews from impressed customers, all the appropriate paperwork, trained technicians, and quality systems. When trying to decide who is the best to install your system, look at these points first and make price the last part of your decision making.
