Looking to upgrade your building’s HVAC system? Or for a solution to in room heating and air conditioning?
Though electricians and other contractors are not required for installing Gradient Window Heat Pumps, installing other HVAC systems usually necessitates a visit from several contractors. So who should you call first?
Questions to ask electrical contractors
As you’re looking to upgrade your HVAC system, first consider consulting with an electrician. A licensed electrician is one of the best people to assess your building's electrical infrastructure and guide you through your HVAC installation, maintenance, and upgrades.
As you begin your journey to effortless heating and cooling for yourself or for your tenants, consider asking yourself and your electrician the following questions:
1. Is your building equipped to handle an increased electrical load throughout an HVAC upgrade?
2. Are there any permits needed to update your electrical system? Local regulations and permitting requirements can vary, so make sure you're compliant with your region’s rules.
3. Consider discussing the strain and time commitment with your tenants. Electricians and other contractors will need access to your units or homes for almost all HVAC upgrades. You will need to ensure that tenants are aware of scheduled visits and can make necessary arrangements for their comfort and safety.
4. Also consider your budget for HVAC maintenance or renovation expenses. You may want to allocate funds for any HVAC electrical work or upgrades to the electrical panel. Keep in mind, your wiring may need an upgrade, too.
5. If you currently have 120V outlets and opt for a mini-split, your electrician will likely need to install 220V outlets in each unit where the HVAC mini split units will be placed.
6. Additionally, are you equipped if they need to upgrade the circuit breaker for each HVAC unit to handle the higher voltage?
If you don’t want to deal with the logistics of scheduling contractors but need to upgrade your HVAC, you have options. Enter: Gradient's Window Heat Pumps.
