How Quality HVAC Installation Saves You Money

Coming home after a long day to a house that’s perfectly heated in the winter or refreshingly cool in the summer isn’t just a luxury—it’s a direct result of a quality HVAC installation. And ensuring proper installation from day one doesn’t just impact home comfort: It also can lead to significant cost benefits in the long run, such as energy savings and extended equipment life.

For many homeowners, getting a new heating or cooling system is one of the most significant investments you’ll make while owning your home. Given how big an investment it is, wouldn’t it be nice to guarantee that your new HVAC system has been installed correctly and is operating at peak performance from day one?

With ACCA’s Quality Installation (QI) certificate program, you can get proof of a high-quality installation and save money in both the short and long term.

Common HVAC Installation Issues

At the point of installation, several issues can arise that impact your HVAC system’s longevity and effectiveness. Common problems include:

  • Improper sizing of equipment: If the system installed is too large or too small, it can lead to inefficiency and increased wear and tear.
  • Poor airflow: Undersized or poorly installed ductwork can restrict airflow. This cuts down the conditioned air and reduces your system’s efficiency.
  • Refrigerant issues: Incorrect refrigerant levels can significantly affect performance and longevity for air conditioners and heat pumps.
  • Incorrect electrical: Faulty incoming voltage or power consumption can lead to system malfunctions and potentially void manufacturer warranties.
  • Leaky ducts: Inadequate sealing can lead to energy loss.

Failing to address these issues during installation can both degrade home comfort and lead to costly repairs and higher energy bills in subsequent years.

Quality Installation = Money Saved & Money Well Spent

Quality HVAC installation can bring you significant financial benefits—especially in the long run. Properly installed systems operate more efficiently, leading to lower energy bills and reduced operational costs. Additionally, a high-quality installation can extend the lifespan of your heating or cooling system, minimizing the need for costly repairs or early replacements.

But really, quality installation is about getting good value for your money. What’s more important than knowing that you’re getting what you paid for? New heating or cooling installation is a big investment for any household, but when done the right way, can result in a more comfortable and enjoyable home for years to come. So, how do you confirm high quality?

Ensuring a High-Quality Installation with an ACCA QI Certificate

Great value and long-term cost savings are two of the biggest benefits of high quality HVAC installation, and now there’s a foolproof way to guarantee that’s what you’ll get: ACCA’s QI certificate program.

QI certificates are only issued after your new HVAC system meets all the requirements set by ACCA. There are two different certificates: Verified Equipment Operation, or VEO, is our baseline certificate covering just the new equipment being installed, and represents a significant jump in quality over the average installation job. For homeowners that want to go even further, there is also Verified System Performance, or VSP, which takes into account your entire system and helps to address potential issues with ductwork, system sizing, airflow, and more.

With ACCA QI, there’s an objective third-party expert in the room that ensures a job well done. QI certificates make it easy to know the system is performing as it should, and it’s hard to put a price on peace of mind!

Reap the benefits of a high-quality HVAC installation. Find an ACCA-approved contractor and ask for a QI certificate.
