Buying a new cooling system is a rare occurrence for most homeowners, and the majority know next to nothing about how their central air-source heat pump or air conditioner should be installed. That’s why they usually put their faith in their contractor to not only recommend the best equipment for their home, but to install it properly, too, so that they obtain the comfort and energy efficiency they were promised.
Unfortunately, some homeowners may not get what they paid for because their system was not installed properly. That can be due to honest mistakes, or it may be because the contractor cut corners in order to keep the initial cost of the system low. Either way, the customer ends up unhappy, and they often end up spending even more money to have another contractor correct the problem. The best solution for all involved is to correctly install the system in the first place.
