Want to guess how much time Americans spend indoors? According to the EPA, approximately 90% of their time!
Given how much of our lives we spend indoors, it makes sense that we’d want to spend that time feeling comfortable. And having a home that’s properly heated and cooled can make a huge difference. But just how important is the quality of HVAC installation when it comes to achieving whole home comfort?
Spoiler alert: Very! When you buy a refrigerator, all you have to do is plug it in! But the same is not true for a new HVAC system—how your system is installed (and whether or not it’s done properly) can significantly impact your entire home’s comfort for years to come. And with ACCA’s Quality Installation (QI) certificate program, you can make sure your new heating or cooling system is installed properly from the start.
Investing in a quality HVAC installation isn’t just about immediate benefits; it’s about securing long-term comfort, value, and health for your home. By ensuring your heating and cooling system is installed correctly from day one, you set the stage for years of benefits, including:
How can you be sure that your new HVAC installation is high quality? Without a QI certificate, it’s difficult to know: Your contractor might tell you that the job has been done properly, but you’re left essentially taking them at their word.
By working with an ACCA-approved contractor and asking for a QI certificate, you can get proof of a high-quality installation. ACCA’s QI certificates are data-driven, third-party verified, and based on a national, industry-recognized standard. And, the corresponding report from measureQuick is homeowner-friendly, meaning it’s written so you can understand your installation without technical expertise.
