CareersWhen shopping around for an HVAC system, several critical aspects must be considered to ensure a wise investment and lasting comfort. This process involves a meticulous examination of various details, from the manufacturer’s reputation and system efficiency to the type of equipment suitable for your space. While some elements of this search are more apparent, such as cost and brand, one often overlooked but vital step is securing a Comfort or Performance Guarantee. These guarantees are more than mere assurances; they’re a pledge of efficiency, comfort, and peace of mind.
Understanding the essence of these guarantees is crucial. Unlike standard warranties that typically cover system breakdowns or faults, Performance and Comfort Guaracies, encompassing hvac equipment and labor, focus on the system’s effectiveness in real-world conditions. They assure that your HVAC system will not only work but work efficiently and maintain the desired comfort levels within your home or office, all at a fair price. For instance, a Heating Comfort Guarantee might promise an indoor temperature of 70 degrees even when it’s 20 degrees outside, while a Cooling Comfort Guarantee might ensure a cool 70 degrees indoors, even when it’s a scorching 100 degrees outside.
The timing of your HVAC system installation can significantly impact your comfort and convenience, which is something we never forget. Many people opt to install new systems during milder seasons, often months before they’re critically needed — pretty smart, right?. This foresight can be beneficial, but without a Comfort Guarantee, you might find yourself uncomfortably surprised when extreme temperatures hit. A guaranteed system gives you a clear expectation of the heating or cooling efficiency your unit will provide, allowing you to rest assured that your home will remain a haven, regardless of the weather outside.
When discussing these guarantees with your HVAC professional, it’s essential to keep a few other things in mind. Listen attentively, probe with the right questions and ask probing questions. Do not forget to discuss all elements, like potential issues with the furnace or ductwork, installation policies, and the labor warranty. Some companies, lacking a Performance or Comfort Guarantee, might attempt to redirect you onto another page — perhaps their words may suggest that their warranty coverage offers the same satisfaction guarantee. However, this is often but a play of words. While warranties, especially labor warranties, are crucial for covering system breakdowns and faults, they generally don’t assure the system’s performance and efficiency in maintaining comfortable temperatures. Understanding this distinction can save you from unexpected discomfort and potential disputes in the future.
An example of a Performance or Comfort Guarantee, an essential ingredient in successful HVAC installations, would be:
Heating Comfort Guarantee: With a well-functioning furnace, even when it’s 20 degrees outside, feel warm and cozy at 70 degrees inside.
Cooling Comfort Guarantee: No matter how harsh the sun is, at 100 degrees outside, relax at a comfortable 70 degrees inside.
If you ask your HVAC professional about this type of guarantee, listen to their answer very carefully! Probing with the right questions can offer valuable information. Many companies that do not have a Performance or Comfort Guarantee may try to convince customers that their warranty covers this, claiming that if the system stops working it will be replaced, fixed, etc. But if anything goes wrong, the problems are often not covered by standard warranties. They typically cover the replacement of the system or parts if it breaks down, and occasionally reinstallation if it is not installed properly. Most standard warranties do not include a Performance or Comfort Guarantee! This is a common problem many customers face, and thus knowing these tips can be immensely helpful.
If you want to be sure that you’re getting a system that will perform well and keep your room comfortable at the ideal temperature, keeping you satisfied through all seasons, make sure you place a call to The Cooling Company at (702) 567-0707 about our Performance or Comfort Guarantee, inclusive of labor and equipment coverages!
