Food for Thought

Any brand of air conditioner or heater that you buy will probably cool and heat your home to some extent. The main differences among brands are: Efficiency, noise level, life expectancy, and operational features and enhancements. All air conditioning manufacturers have, at various times produced models that were not of desirable quality. All manufacturers have also produced models that did not meet expectations in one of the other areas listed above. It is difficult, if not impossible, for you the consumer to know the difference unless you have expert advice in selecting the proper model by the proper manufacturer for your home.

Unfortunately, it is not possible to “try before you buy” as you can when purchasing an automobile, television, etc. You will however, be very aware of the shortcomings and problems of a poor choice only after the unit is installed and paid for.

Any installing contractor can probably make any new unit cool or heat to some extent. The main differences between installing contractors are honesty, experience, integrity, dependability, knowledge of air conditioning theory and practice, product knowledge, attention to detail, dedication to quality, and commitment to excellence in customer care.

The advice of a trusted contractor is invaluable in choosing the proper equipment for each individual application. The skill and technical knowledge of an installing contractor will account for about 65% of the satisfaction or dissatisfaction that you experience with a new comfort system. No more than 25% of your satisfaction or dissatisfaction will be affected by the brand or model that you have chosen. Ultimately, your happiness and comfort rest at the hands of the installing contractor and service provider for the life of the system.

Before you make you final decision regarding your installing contractor, stop and examine each of the proposals you were presented and decide how you want your system to look and perform. Jobs and proposals tend look and sound alike when the differences are usually as extreme as night and day. In fact, often times it is that which is not stated in a proposal that is as important, if not more important than what is in a proposal.

According to Consumer Reports, the installation workmanship is usually 60% - 70% of any job while the equipment and components only comprise approximately 20% of the job, with remaining 10% being based on your wants and needs and the home’s structural requirements. Quality, craftsmanship and experience cannot be illustrated on paper. In fact, “Consumer Reports” says they cannot rate central air conditioners and furnaces because the manufacturer and the design of the equipment has only about 20% to do with how well it will actually operate or how long it will last once it’s installed.

They attribute another 15-20% to maintenance, and the other 60-65% to the installation quality and installing contractor.

If you look at “Consumer Reports,” everything they rate is something that you buy, take home, plug in and begin using immediately; like stereos, TVs, window air conditioners, which they do rate. You see a manufacturer’s piece of equipment is just a “box” until a qualified, professional, quality and licensed contractor installs it. All brands have their good points and bad points. Brand is not as important as the application and system design and the contractor that installs the equipment.
