Choose a Contractor Who Is Right for You

1. Look for prompt, courteous contractors who are willing to spend time with you to understand what you want out of your project.

2. Get at least three estimates. Ask for written proposals, proof of proper licensing and proof of insurance (workman's compensation and liability).

3. Ask the contractor for references and ask how much experience installers have on the equipment or appliances they will be installing. 

4. If you are planning a project that involves heating or cooling equipment, the contractor should calculate heat loss or heat gain to ensure the equipment is sized properly. 

5. Where applicable, talk with your contractor about the efficiency rating of equipment or appliances and what different ratings mean in annual operating costs.
