When my furnace was showing signs of age, I started researching.
Living in Ashtabula, Ohio, the heating system is an essential component of the household.
Not only do we require heat for the sake of comfort, but keeping the home at a proper temperature prevents damage to furnishings and water pipes freezing. The cost of purchasing, installing and running a furnace is significant. I wanted to be sure I made smart decisions and had no regrets. I read reviews on the different HVAC companies that provide heating installation in Ashtabula. I looked for a contractor that maintains an A+ rating with the better business bureau. I prioritized a fully licensed, bonded and insured company that has achieved factory authorization. I wanted to work with technicians that are NATE- and EPA-certified. Several of the HVAC companies offer free estimates and 100% satisfaction guaranteed. Most of them include maintenance programs and 24/7 emergency repairs. Proof of yearly service performed by a licensed HVAC contractor is necessary to fulfill the manufacturer’s warranty obligations. I preferred to deal with one company. I also wanted assurance of a furnace from a reputable manufacturer with an Energy Star rating. A properly sized and installed heating system will provide superior energy efficiency, comfort, air quality, reliability and longevity. While systems with a higher AFUE rating cost more initially, the better energy efficiency and lower utility bills help to recover the investment. I chose an HVAC contractor with a well-established history of satisfied customers. The technician was wonderful about explaining options and handling the heating system installation quickly and with minimal inconvenience.
