Top Questions to Ask for Your Air Conditioning Estimate

Top Questions to Ask for Your Air Conditioning Estimate

Next to your mortgage, your utility bills are among the highest costs of operating a household. Central air condition can make up a large part of your bills, and the older a system is, the less reliable it also becomes.


If you are considering installing or updating your system, it is important that you request an air condition estimate from a trusted HVAC company like Twintech Heating and Cooling.


We will evaluate your needs, install your system correctly, and keep you informed of every stage of the project. 


Asking the Right Questions


First of all, you should start researching – read company reviews, ask friends for referrals, and prepare questions for you to ask when you meet with an estimator.


Here are the top questions you should ask:


  1. What size or capacity system do I need to cool my home? Determining the size of the air conditioning unit you need is an important matter.
  2. Can the current ductwork be used (if there’s any) and what is the condition of my existing ductwork? You should ask if there are leaks and if the ductwork should be cleaned during the installation.
  3. Can you provide proof that your business is bonded and insured? You should also have all estimates written along with all of the terms and conditions you discussed.
  4. Are there new technologies I should consider? There are different options you can choose from such as ductless systems, upgraded accessories you can add, remote-operated or digital thermostats, etc. You can also ask about air conditioning options for home that have a boiler system (no ductwork).
  5. Is the new system energy-efficient? You can also ask about the SEER rating. You can even ask if you can expect a decrease in your utility bills.
  6. What brands do you offer and why do you prefer those brands? This also plays a major role. The HVAC expert’s answer to this question can assure you more that you are making the right choice.
  7. Are there any rebates or tax credits available if I have a new system installed? It is your right to ask for any promotions or offers that can help you save money.
  8. Do you handle all the necessary approvals and permits with the local authorities? Only trusted HVAC companies will answer this question confidently – make sure you ask this one.
  9. What are the payment terms? You can ask if the company or the manufacturer offers financing options.
  10. What guaranteed does your company offer on the installation? This question also covers the guarantee on the unit and if the service contract is available or included.

BONUS: What is the timetable for the installation (start to finish)? You can also inquire if the company will haul away the old unit (if there’s any), and if it is included in your fee. You can also ask if any cleanup is included.

by Tracy, Pickering on Twintech Heating and Cooling

We couldn’t have been more impressed with Twintech - from our first service call with Mitch who took the time to thoroughly diagnose the issue with our furnace, to Dave who proposed a well thought out solution to meet our needs and finally Greg and team who acted quickly to install given we had no heat.


We did our due diligence by soliciting quotes from alternate providers and were shocked and disappointed by the aggressive and manipulative tactics used.


Twintech was honest in their approach, detailed in their product knowledge, reasonably priced, diligent in their follow-up and valued our business.


Well done Twintech! You made this a positive experience for us and our new furnace works beautifully!

by Skapoor, Ajax on Twintech Heating and Cooling

We recently purchased an Amana high efficiency furnace and humdifier through Twintech. The work was completed very professionally and the quality of the workmanship was high. There was some additional sheet metal work required to complete the installation, which they were able to complete themselves. Overall I am very pleased with the work and would highly recommend Twintech for a furnace replacement.

by Steve, Oshawa on Twintech Heating and Cooling

We were very pleased with every aspect of the work that was done. They were very professional and polite. They arrived when they said they would and job was completed on estimated time


We would highly recommend them to whoever needed a recommendation


We have a very large dog and they were very understanding and respectful of him being around

by Patrick, Toronto on Twintech Heating and Cooling

The blower on our furnace stopped working leaving us with a cold house. Dave from TwinTech responded immediately to our HomeStars service request. From beginning to end Dave was nothing but helpful, friendly and professional, he did a great job of walking us through the quote and scope of work.


The replacement of the furnace went smoothly. The Guys did a great job, everyone was very friendly and polite. There were no hiccups, or unexpected costs. The only surprise was they left the work area cleaner than it was before they started.


Was a great experience with the whole TwinTech team. Its been a couple of months since the new furnace has been installed and its working great!

by Ed, Whitby on Twintech Heating and Cooling

I heard about TwinTech when researching new furnaces at furnaceprices.ca. After contacting them about my broken down furnace, Dave came to my house the next day to assess my situation and requirements for a new furnace. He recommended one that had stainless steel heat exchangers which sold me since my previous furnace had issues with a rusted secondary heat exchanger that had to be replaced. Dave also set me up with an appointment with an energy audit company so that I could take advantage of a rebate to help improve the energy efficiency of my home and get some money back. A few days later, Greg, Grant, and Mitch came to install the new furnace and remove the old one. When delivering and removing the furnaces, they were very careful not to damage my floors and walls, and even laid out red carpeting to protect the floors. They were very friendly and professional. The installation was completed in the time they said it would take and they cleaned up their work areas. Within a week, Dave called to follow-up to see how everything was going. I have already recommended them to several friends and family members who may need new furnaces soon.

by Fred, Toronto on Twintech Heating and Cooling

Twintech did a great job, from Dave the Sales Rep to the Office staff and The Professional Technicians who did the installation. They were professional, courteous, knowledgable and informative. From beginning to follow up we were completely satisfied with everything. Thanks Again. Sincerely The Laytons

by Elle, Oshawa on Twintech Heating and Cooling

Great product, great service, great follow-up. The Twintech Heating and Cooling arranged removal of my existing oil tank and they installed the new gas furnace Amana (made in USA). I am very happy with the final result and support I received throughout the process. My thanks go to the entire Twintech team for their professionalism, great communication and follow-up.

by John & Linda, Ajax on Twintech Heating and Cooling

We've had Twintech provide us with work in the past, for an inground pool heater and required rough-in for a new gas stove. More recently they provided the same friendly, professional, timely and clean installation of our new furnace.

by Bill, Whitby on Twintech Heating and Cooling

Reasonable price and the workmanship was prompt and timely and the employees were great to deal with.

by Nadia, Toronto on Twintech Heating and Cooling

The sales process was friendly, informative, and very consultative. They worked hard to earn our business by taking a careful look around our home to assess our needs, providing a lot of information about the product, and answering all our questions and finding the right solution for our home at a competitive price. They prepared us very well for what to expect on installation day, and the installation went very smoothly - no surprises, all very professional! They gave us a call after installation to ensure we were happy with the work. We're very happy that we chose to work with TwinTech to get our new furnace.

by Ruth on Twintech Heating and Cooling

TwinTech is an excellent and honest company! I called them for a second opinion after being told by another company that I needed to replace my furnace. Turns out this was not the case at all! I did not need a new furnace. TwinTech did not push to make an unnecessary sale and saved me from a huge expense. Bob and Mitch were extremely professional and above all honest! I definitely recommend TwinTech!

Great experience all around. Bob was sharp and easy to talk to, and Greg handled the installation perfectly. Would hire them again in a heartbeat.
