Things you should know when choosing an HVAC company:
Deal only with a registered natural gas contractor*:
Visit these websites to verify registration:
Do you have plans to renovate or build? Whether they're purely practical or driven by your dreams, natural gas can play a part in your new home.
When it comes time to connect your new natural gas furnace, water heater or appliances to your residential gas line, you'll require the services of a registered natural gas contractor.
They'll not only make sure your new equipment is installed safely and to code, but can also help you select the equipment that's right for your family's needs.
Look for contractors who:
- are registered with the BC Safety Authority and employ licensed gas fitters
- are bonded and insured for liability and property damage
- offer warranties that cover equipment, materials and labour
- offer maintenance and service after installation and after warranties have expired
- provide customer references
- are members in good standing of the Better Business Bureau
It all begins with the quote
Request quotes in writing from more than one contractor. Your quote should include information about the materials your dealer will supply and install, and what labour the company will provide, including:
- cost of permits and payment of fees
- costs of subcontractors and trades persons (if they're required)
- all necessary taxes, appropriate grants or credits applied to total costs
- estimate of the project's completion date
- warranty and service information
