How to Find the Right Contractor to Install Your Ductless Air Conditioning Units

One of the reasons that our customers love ductless air conditioning systems so much is that they don’t require a specialist to install them. In fact, homeowners who are handy around the house can often complete most of the installation process themselves. We do recommend that you hire someone to handle the wiring. Other homeowners appreciate the peace of mind of having a professional handle installation. No matter which side you’re on, we’ve got some ideas for how you can choose the right contractor for your project.

Experience – and specific experience – is important

First of all, you want a contractor that’s experienced, not just in handling installations of air conditioning systems but specifically with ductless air conditioning systems . As mentioned above, it’s not a particularly difficult installation process but we do recommend that you choose someone who’s done it before.

Price is important

You want the best person for the job. However, this is not something that you need a specialist for. Some companies may make assumptions that you don’t know how much it should cost for installation. Don’t pay more than the market rate in your area, no matter what the contractor says.

Get several quotes

Even if you have a single contractor that comes highly recommended, you get a quote from them, and you feel confident that they’re the right choice, you should still get a few other quotes. Why? Because they may give you an inaccurate idea of how much it will costs. When you get several quotes, you’ll have a better idea of what the market rate is in your area.

You may also find someone who’s more experienced. For example, if you’re choosing a multi-zone ductless air conditioning system and you find someone who’s worked with any type of ductless system before, then you may think they’re the right choice. But what if you get another quote from someone who’s not only handled single-zone units, but multi-zone units like the one you’re installing? It’s easy to see that they may be the best choice.

Do you need help choosing an air conditioning system?

When you shop with AC-World, you’re shopping directly with the manufacturer. That means you can get deep discounts compared to buying from a local company – and it also means that you can speak directly to the people who make these units. We know them inside and out and can help you choose the right one for your needs.
