When you need to choose a contractor to install an air conditioner for your home or office, you may be surprised at the number of choices you see online. There are not only companies that specialize in air conditioning installation but builders and even roofers can typically install these for you. Before you make a decision on the best choice of contractor for you, consider the following questions to ask. This will ensure you choose the right company that will do the best job.

1. What does their website look like? A professional air conditioning company should have a good website that is easy to navigate and that tells you what you need to know about their services. A good contractor will be able to afford a website that is responsive to a customer’s needs and that answers your basic questions. If a website is difficult to navigate or doesn’t give you the information you need, this can tell you that the company itself may not be responsive to the needs of their customers. 2. Do they include maintenance contracts? Your air conditioning will eventually need maintenance and repairs, and it’s good to have the same company that installs your unit also handle the maintenance contract. They will know what needs to be done for your unit in particular and often a maintenance contract with the same company will be cheaper than if you had an outside company service your unit. Always ask if they offer maintenance and service contracts for all the units they install. 3. Do they offer a variety of units? When you want to have an air conditioning unit installed in your home or office, you may want a few different choices for yourself. For example, if you operate a small office you may want a central unit but then a portable one just for the manager’s office if he or she works after hours. You then won’t need to run the larger unit during the off-hours. In your home you may want the same option, putting a unit in a bedroom window along with a central air unit. The more options a company offers you, the more qualified they are to handle the job. Remember these simple but important questions when you need to install a new air conditioning unit. This will ensure you choose the best company or your home or office.
