HVAC project planning

Project planning guide

HVAC

Organize the basics of your heating or cooling project before requesting contractor options.

Before you start

Note whether the concern is a repair, replacement, new installation, or comfort in part of the home. The equipment type, age, and symptoms are useful details to have ready.

Have these details ready

Is this a repair, replacement, or installation?

What system do you have now?

Which rooms or comfort issues are involved?

Keep track of indoor conditions

A thermometer or humidity monitor can help you record indoor readings to discuss with your contractor. AcuRite sells thermometers, humidity monitors and weather stations. Compare features, placement requirements and the final delivered price before buying.
