Start with your home and equipment

Start with the home and its comfort needs. Existing ductwork, airflow, system configuration and the spaces you want to condition all affect the recommendation. Prime’s residential work includes system replacement and new construction services such as duct design and load calculations.

Understand your options

Ask what is included in the proposed installation, how the recommended system fits your home, which existing components will remain and what maintenance the equipment will need. Request current manufacturer and labor warranty details for the equipment being quoted.

What happens next?

  1. Share the details. Tell us your address, equipment type and the issue or project.
  2. Confirm the visit. We discuss service availability and whether you need diagnostics, maintenance or an estimate.
  3. Review the recommendation. Ask about the scope and available options before choosing the next step.

Your questions answered

How do I choose the right air conditioner size?

The recommendation should account for the home and its heating and cooling needs. Replacing equipment with the same nominal size does not by itself establish that it is the right fit. Ask about the evaluation and load calculation used for your project.

Can I compare repair and replacement?

Yes. If your existing system has a specific fault, ask about the repair option as well as a replacement estimate. Compare the scope, equipment condition and expected ownership needs before deciding.
