Top Questions to Ask for Your Air Conditioning Estimate
Posted On: August 1, 2017
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:
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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).
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- What are the payment terms? You can ask if the company or the manufacturer offers financing options.
- 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.

We wanted to get our AC replaced as it was 22-years old and added to this our furnace was costing more and more to repair. So, we decided to get both the furnace and AC replaced.
After going through a few quotes and product reviews we decided to go with Twintech. The three-men crew arrived early in the morning, wasted no time and got to work right away. By 2:00 pm, they were all done. Ive found their work to be top notch and they were completely professional. I had all my questions answered to my satisfaction both during the progress of their work and at end.
I have pleasure in recommending Twintech to anyone who is looking to get their furnace or Ac replaced

Our air conditioner died On a Saturday and within hours Dave came out to take a look and discuss replacement/repair options.
The new air conditioner was installed on the Wednesday. The new unit was installed quickly. The installers were friendly and cleaned up afterwards.
We noticed a slight leak around the furnace that night and they came out the next day and fixed the issue. It has been working great and is quieter than our previous unit.
Very satisfied and would highly recommend TwinTech.

I contacted TwinTech to replace my 20-year old A/C. Dave, their service rep, promptly replied and was at my home within 2 hours. He was friendly and knowledgeable and didn't try to upgrade or oversell their A/C units but suggested the best fit for my small 1000 feet bungalow. Although this was during a heatwave and very busy, they were able to fit me in 2 days later. The TwinTech crew installed a 1.5 ton Ducane A/C unit that is now running smoothly while maintaining a constant cooling temperature. The crew were very courteous, professional and efficient and I will definitely recommend TwinTech to family and friends. I much appreciated your great service.

TwinTech was a pleasure to deal with from the estimate through installation. We replaced a 28 year old a/c unit with one recommended by TwinTech's sales representative Dave who took the time to go over the product with us and answer any questions. The warranty is for 10 years parts and labour and they will complete the registration for you. Installation was by Greg (owner) and Mitch and Spencer who were quick and efficient and left everything clean and tidy.

Very professional, from the sales consultation and inspection to the final installation. Met every expectations we had for the job. A local business with great client support. We highly recommend. Twintech is a blue chip! Thanks!

I left a live chat message on their website that my air conditioning was not working. Within 1hr a representative called me to discuss my options.
The next day he came to the house to review my needs and give me a price for a new system. Price quoted was less than I expected and the installation was completed the following day. I found their salesman and the installers very knowledgeable and easy to deal with. All my questions were answered. Everything was properly explained in regards to what unit was needed and why, along with instruction where needed for use.
The installers made sure everything was working properly before they left.

This is to thank Twintech Heating and Cooling for their exceptional and timely service. Mitch, their technician was very courteous and generous with his time right from his first meeting with us. He not only took the time to check everything but also educated us on why we needed what he recommended. Greg and Mitch graciously accommodated us on our requested day and time for job to be done. They were both very courteous and responsive to our needs and special requests especially in a tight spot. The job was finished neatly and on time. Thank you Twintech for your great service !
