Find a Contractor
Check out our helpful tips for choosing a contractor for your project...
You may want to consult the CT Association of Plumbing, Heating and Cooling Contractors at www.ct-phcc.org or CT Heating and Cooling Contractors at CHCC.
- Look for a contractor who is willing to spend time with you to understand your needs.
- Get at least three written estimates from different contractors.
- Ask for proof of proper licensing and insurance, including workers compensation and liability.
- Ask the contractors for references and their experience with the equipment or appliances they will be installing.
- Check with your local Better Business Bureau about the company you plan to hire.
- See if the company will obtain a local permit, if necessary, and be sure they understand local residential building codes.
- For heating or cooling equipment, the contractor should calculate heat loss or heat gain to ensure the equipment is sized properly for the project.
- Ask your contractor about the efficiency rating of equipment or appliances. Different ratings will impact your annual operating costs.
- Ask about product warranties - what is covered and for how long?
- Always sign a written contract.
