A new HVAC installation may be warranted if your home or office has ongoing comfort issues such as uneven temperatures, high humidity, rising energy bills, or a system that can’t keep up. Even when replacement is the right move, it’s normal to have questions about sizing, warranties, and the installation process.

As an HVAC company with experience helping businesses and residents throughout Georgia, Deal’s Heating & Air is sharing five questions to ask before any HVAC installation so you can choose the right system and ensure it’s installed correctly for your building.

1) Who should I hire for HVAC installation?

Once you’ve decided it’s time for a new HVAC unit, the first question is who should complete the job. Choose a licensed HVAC contractor with demonstrated experience in residential and commercial installations.

A qualified team helps reduce the risk of:

• Improper installation that affects comfort and efficiency
• Equipment damage during setup
• Missed steps that lead to performance issues later

What to look for:

• Licensing and insurance
• A clear, written scope of work (what’s included and what’s not)
• Strong online reviews and recent customer feedback

At Deal’s Heating & Air, customer service is a priority, and we encourage homeowners and business owners to compare contractors—not just equipment brands.

2) What type of system do I need?

There are multiple system types that may fit your home or commercial building, including central air conditioners, ductless mini-splits, furnaces, and heat pumps. The right choice depends on your goals and building layout—comfort, humidity control, efficiency, budget, and how your space is used.

An experienced HVAC contractor should evaluate factors like:

• Building size and layout
• Existing ductwork (or the need for ductless solutions)
• Comfort issues (hot/cold rooms, humidity concerns)
• Energy-efficiency priorities

Instead of guessing or copying what worked for a neighbor, work with a contractor who can recommend a system that matches your needs and your building.

3) What size HVAC unit is right for my space?

HVAC systems must be sized correctly for the space they serve. This is one of the most important parts of the installation process because the wrong size can create comfort problems, increase operating costs, and shorten equipment life.

If a system is too large or too small, you may notice:

• Difficulty maintaining the set temperature
• Short cycling or long run times
• Reduced humidity control
• Higher energy bills
• Shorter equipment lifespan due to unnecessary strain

A professional contractor should size your system using a load calculation (not a guess based on square footage alone). That process considers insulation, windows, sun exposure, occupancy, and more so your system is tailored to your building.

4) Will you inspect ductwork and verify airflow after installation?

This is one of the most overlooked (and most important) steps. A new system can’t perform at its best if airflow is off—even if the equipment is top-tier. Beyond installing the unit, your contractor should confirm the duct system and airflow meet the new system’s requirements, then document baseline performance so future preventive maintenance is simpler and more accurate.

Ask your contractor:

• Will you inspect my ductwork for leaks, restrictions, insulation gaps, or design issues that could reduce performance over time?
• After installation, will you measure and verify airflow and system operation (not just “turn it on”) and make any needed adjustments?
• Will you check for comfort imbalances (hot/cold rooms) and recommend corrective steps if needed?
• Will you provide a preventive maintenance plan (filter schedule, recommended service intervals, and what will be checked at each visit) based on the system’s performance?

This is also why we discourage DIY installation: long-term reliability depends on professional verification of ductwork, airflow, controls, and overall system setup—plus establishing baseline performance data that maintenance relies on.

5) What warranty applies—and what is required to keep it valid?

Before purchasing your system, confirm what warranty coverage applies and what requirements must be met to keep it valid. HVAC replacement is a significant investment, and a warranty can reduce out-of-pocket costs later—especially if the system is registered correctly and installed according to manufacturer requirements.

Ask:

• What is covered under the manufacturer warranty vs. labor warranty?
• Is registration required (and who handles it)?
• Are maintenance records required to keep coverage active?
• What workmanship guarantee do you provide?

Comparing warranty terms is a smart step before committing to a system and an installer.
