Points to keep in mind
- Placement matters for snow and drainage. Units are often raised on stands so meltwater can drain and snow doesn't block them. More on heat pumps.
- Zoning adds dampers, controls and design work. It isn't always the fix for uneven rooms. More on thermostats and controls.
- Rebates and incentives may be available from utilities or government programs for qualifying equipment. Availability changes over time. More on furnace repair and replacement.
- A clean filter is the simplest maintenance item, and many no-heat calls trace back to a clogged one. More on furnace repair and replacement.
- Timing helps. Scheduling a tune-up before peak season may be easier than during the first heat wave. More on AC Tune-Ups and Maintenance.
- Heat pumps need correct configuration, especially for auxiliary heat. More on thermostats and controls.
What to have ready
- Say whether you own or rent, and whether the home has a basement, crawl space or attic access to the equipment.
- Mention what you have already checked, such as the thermostat batteries and settings, the filter and the breaker.
- List times you can be reached and when someone can provide access.
- Share the approximate square footage of the home and how many levels it has, especially for replacement quotes.
- Note the make, model and approximate age of your furnace, air conditioner or heat pump. The label is usually on the side of the unit or inside a panel.
Good questions to ask any provider
- Will I need a common wire added?
- What does your tune-up checklist include?
- Is a heat pump worth considering for my home?
- Will you perform a load calculation, and can I see the result?
- If replacement makes sense, will you perform a load calculation to size the new unit?
