HVAC Installed
Feb/15/08 08:08 AM
Our HVAC guys finished installing our unit and running our ductwork yesterday. Troy at AirTech did the install.
Originally we had several people show up to give us a quote. After receiving the specs and quotes a buddy of mine, who is a civil engineer, looked it over for us and helped us narrow our selection down to 2 companies with relatively similar quotes and specs.
We made our final decision in a strange way of sorts. The guy from Company 1, while touring the house for the quote, pointed at the Rinnai water heater and said “What’s that?” Me being so dang proud of the thing, I filled his ear so full of technical info about gallons per minute and flow activation that I think it made him regret asking. Strangely enough, the guy from Company 2, while also touring the house for the quote, looked at the water heater and said “Wow, you’ve got a Rinnai, those things are great!”
It is thus that we made our decision, I figured Company 2 was interested enough in his work to keep up with technology and innovations in mechanical systems, and therefore more likely to give us the most up-to-date system. While Company 1 has probably been installing the same old HVAC unit for 20 years. Although this assumption is completely unfounded, it seemed as good a reason as any to choose company 2.
