Question: What are some questions that I should ask a contractor?
Things you should ask other contractors.
Do they flow nitrogen when welding refrigerant lines? This maintains cleanliness inside the copper lines.
Do they evacuate the system to below 500 microns? Required by every major manufacturer.
Do they still use duct tape? Not allowed by Washington State Code.
Proper refrigerant charging. CRITICAL - if you are installing a new central air conditioner or heat pump you should know that recent field studies suggest that approximately 75% of installed cooling equipment may have incorrect amounts of refrigerant. Incorrect refrigerant levels can lower efficiency by 5 to 20% and can ultimately cause premature component failure, resulting in costly repairs that could have been prevented. A good contractor will use one of three methods, recommended by equipment manufacturers, to verify the correct refrigerant level. These methods include super-heat, sub-cooling, or weight. Ask your contractor how they verify the refrigerant level is correct.
