The dreaded day has arrived and now you have to purchase a new air conditioning system. Nobody enjoys this day, and nobody looks forward to budgeting for it, but unfortunately, it is part of Livermore homeownership. So where do you begin?
First, realize that the cost of a new A/C system varies based on multiple factors. The first is your lifestyle and the people living in your home. Are there health issues that will involve a special type of air cleaning system? Do the family members in the home have a sensitivity to the heat or cold, or a disorder (such as Multiple Sclerosis) that would require the home to stay at a set temperature or humidity level? What recreation takes place inside the house? All of these things will help decide which air conditioner is ideal for your family.
The following variable to take into consideration is the home itself. What is the number of windows within your home and which direction do they face? What type of insulation is installed in the home and how efficient is the ductwork? Does the residence require (or do you desire) solar-power, gas, electric, etc? At Service Experts Heating & Air Conditioning, we will go out and evaluate your current set-up to go over the choices available based on your home’s construction and unique characteristics.
The third variable to think about is which business to call. Though one company may have the air conditioner you want at a budget you like, take caution and find out if they are licensed and bonded, and confirm they are insured in the event that something occurs at your residence. If a contractor were to get hurt and the company was not insured, it’s likely you would be held accountable. At Service Experts Heating & Air Conditioning, we are not only bonded, licensed, and insured, but all of our workers go through a thorough background check, drug test, and are trained to work on all top brands of air conditioners. We also offer a 100% Satisfaction Guarantee so you can be comfortable in the work we deliver.
