Why to hire a heating/cooling pro

BEWARE. Often you get what you pay for. Many people are tempted to try to save money by letting their neighbor or brother-in-law or some other joker put in their heating or cooling system. It's true that the actual installation process is not that complicated and many people have the basic tools needed. BUT the problem comes when the size of the equipment is determined. The square footage of a home IS NOT enough information alone to properly size a system!! Too small an air conditioner can make a home unbearable and power bills high; too large an A/C unit will make a home uncomfortable by not removing an adequate amount of moisture from the home. And just like outside, the higher the humidity inside the home the hotter it feels. Make darn sure that a MANUEL J load calculation is performed on the house and ask to review it before allowing anyone to waste their time and YOUR money installing a system that won't do the job. :)jbhj
