When to Get a Second Opinion on Your HVAC Unit

You should immediately contact a reliable technician if your HVAC system malfunctions or you believe it has a problem. Keep in mind that only a professional will be able to tell if you need air duct sealing or a new air conditioner. Getting a second opinion might be necessary if it seems that the contractor you’ve consulted has misdiagnosed the issue.

When Do You Need a Second Opinion?

Sometimes, what your HVAC system needs is obvious. For instance, you don’t usually need a second opinion on replacing small accessories. However, if your technician says that your 10-year-old equipment requires a major replacement, that’s when you should start considering getting a second opinion. While newer, modern HVAC system can improve your comfort while lowering your energy bills, most AC and heating systems will last much longer than 10 years with proper care.

It’s worth assessing your situation carefully to help you make the best choices, especially when making decisions on HVAC replacement. If your equipment is fairly new and you were advised that you need to replace it, you may want to consider having it inspected again by another professional. After getting a second opinion, you should have a better idea of how to proceed. 

How Do You Weigh the Opinions?

After getting different opinions, you need to decide how to move forward. If the two companies you spoke with have similar views, you still need to choose which to hire. When deciding which provider to work with, consider the quality of their products and their warranties. What your gut says about the company also matters. Do you feel like you can trust them with your equipment and are you confident that they’ll be able to address your concerns?
