Efficiency is important. When shopping for an upgrade, you want the most efficient equipment you can afford. Ask an HVAC professional about Energy Star-rated models. Energy Star is the government’s program for rigorously testing HVAC equipment for efficiency. A higher ratings will also make the unit more expensive, but the amount you save on your energy bill makes it worth the investment. 

3. Reviews

After you find out about the firm and the unit you wish to purchase, you should search for people's reviews. Most of the people nowadays do online searches, and many of them use google to review about products, firms and their services. You may scroll some of these reviews, if not all, to see where that firm stands. There is another platform called HomeStars, it's an organization that potential customers use for any services around their house, whether home renovations, windows, doors, or HVAC needs. Many companies which are in the trades involved with HomeStars.

Ask if the company performed clean installations with perfection. Did the company test the system after it was installed to ensure maximum efficiency? You can also go online to check complaints against them from their customers. It will give you a wide view to choose your right HVAC professional.
