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.

We are very pleased with the work done by Twintech. They were very professional from start to finish. Dave came to our home and gave us a very competitive quote for new high efficiency furnace and air conditioner. The installers were very courteous and professional. We would highly recommend them.

Great experience getting an old furnace replaced.
Sales Guy (Dave) was great - honest, responsive, and friendly.
The work itself was done quickly and we are very happy with the outcome, thank you! We recommend TwinTech!

This review is late coming so my apologies to the amazing Twin Tech team! I contacted Dave at Twin Tech for a quote this past Feb (as I was collecting a few) and his recommendation was excellent. From the first meeting with Dave to the team installing the new furnace, not once did i feel uncomfortable . The team were extremely professional yet personable and clean and tidy. Decent companies still exist!
The new furnace just purrs and its just amazing the difference it has made!
(PS my sibling ended up getting a furnace from them as well)

The service was Twintech was excellent.
Dave our salesperson was easy to talk to and was professional. The unit recommended meets our needs and budget.
Greg and his team arrived on time for the installation and even got rid of the garbage the contractors left in our furnace.
Would definitely recommend Twintech.

by Steve V, Toronto on Twintech Heating and Cooling

Our old water tank was installed in 1997. Wasn't working as well as it should so we looked into a tankless as it is more efficient and a space saver! we had used Twintech in the past for a furnace cleaning and were satisfied with that so we decided to ask for a quote for the changeover. Gary arrived and provided the options and the quote fit within our budget so we decide to go with them after receiving a few alternative quotes from other companies. They did what the said would be done and it was completed within a reasonable time frame! Removal and cleanup of the old tank was seamless. We are now enjoying consistent and efficient Hot water! I recommend Twintech and would use them for future projects!

by New AC Unit + Humidifier on Twintech Heating and Cooling

One of the most honest HVAC companies out there! Dave was very helpful and informative in helping us choose a new AC unit. While they weren’t the lowest quote, we went with them because we trusted Dave and he was the most honest guy out of the companies that quoted us.
Greg and his crew who installed the unit were very professional and did a great job. If I could do it over again I would choose Twintech again.

by Private User on Twintech Heating and Cooling

Relocated and replaced our air conditioning unit. Fast, professional, and high quality service. We would definitely use them again for future projects!
