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.

It was a refreshing experience interacting with the Twintech team. From Bob, the sales consultant, who articulated in layman's terms all the options available and reasons for making any selection. This was done without the prevailing pressure tactics so commonplace today.

Before proceeding Mitch, the technician, at our request conducted a service check on our 30 yr old furnace. His report was positive indicating no urgency to replace it. Again no pressure tactics.

Three days after first meeting with Bob, the installation team of Greg and
Spencer completed the installation within the planned time frame.

A very professional, courteous and transparent team which delivered on their promise. I highly recommend Twintech.

by Private User on Twintech Heating and Cooling

Initial contact with sales resulted in an immediate response, which led to a timely installation. Both sales and installers were all very professional. I have no hesitation in recommending TWINTECH.

by Private User on Twintech Heating and Cooling

I had a great experience with TwinTech. The company offered a reasonable quote, and performed a quick and clean installation. The installer Greg was experienced, professional and courteous. He explained the services he performed and gave recommendations on maintain the new furnace.

The salesman Bob was honest
and professional and educated me on how to achieve optimal performance.

All communication from them was quick and they came the following day. I was pleased with the service and would recommend them.

by Lousan, Ajax on Twintech Heating and Cooling

From quote, to installation, to follow up, Twintech provided excellent service. I would highly recommended their services.

by John, Pickering on Twintech Heating and Cooling

I had a really great experience with these guys. The salesman Bob was clearly very knowledgeable about everything to do with heating and cooling a home, spent a lot of time with us going over the details of the job, never rushed us and came back after the install to make sure we were happy. The installation crew was excellent, they covered the floors all the way from outside down to the basement furnace room, kept the place clean, got the work done on time and we’re very friendly. I’ve got 15 years in the contracting/ construction industry and these guys are one of the most professional company’s I’ve dealt with. Great company!

by Debra Robertson on Twintech Heating and Cooling

Had great service and clean-up was good. Was happy with my salesman. They were very friendly and helpful. I needed a new furnace as our was over 20 years old. The furnace and air-conditioner work great and they are very quiet. I am very pleased with the service and product I received.

Reviews for Twintech were good, and they did not disappoint. After an initial visit to discuss the suitable AC unit for replacement, an installation date was available in just a couple of days, and everything was installed without a hitch. Highly recommended

Very pleased with the installation of our new furnace and A/C unit. From quotation stage to the completion of the job Twintech was very professional.
Thank you for a job well done.

My old water heater quit on me. I called TwinTech. In less than 4 days, I had my new water heater installed and the old one taken away. The whole process was quick, easy, pleasant, and well done. This is the third time I've dealt with TwinTech and I've been satisfied each time.

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!
