It is critical that your new HVAC equipment be installed properly by the contactor without cutting corners and with great care. I had a great experience with HomeServe for the replacement of one of my two ducted central HVAC systems. ------
The HomeServe team was honest, very knowledgeable, and completed the job with precision, timeliness, reliability, and great care. --------
I was very impressed and satisfied. ---------
I also have several service contacts with HomeServe's other division and am extremely satisfied with that too.--------
For the details and my reasons in this review, please read on. The senior sales associate brought an extremely experienced and technical supervisor with him to look over my existing set up and speak with me before preparing any proposal. They visually inspected the existing equipment set up inside my home and outside. They even took measurement of the inside attic while scoping the area. Throughout the entire process and after the proposal too, they did not pressure me in any way. I had also brought in two other contractors for proposals. It was not only for pricing but their suggested installation and equipment specs. The approach and lack of detail by the other contractors were very disappointing. I happily engaged HomeServe. --------
I am fortunate that I have a good understanding of both ducted and ductless systems; familiar with how they work, their relative efficiencies and costs, understand air flows, and more. I likely have much more knowledge than the average homeowner, although not near a contractor's knowledge of course. This does make it easier for me to ask the right questions and evaluate the proposals and the installers better. However, the process takes time, and diligence to find the right contractor. There are several options for equipment, depending on your particular wants, needs and budget. However, i think the contractor is the most important.
