Why Choose Rainforest Plumbing & Air for System Installation
Evaluation
When you book your high-efficiency AC installation, your personal, trained technician will come to your home to begin the evaluation process.
During your evaluation our experts will thoroughly examine your existing unit, the size of your home and estimate the amount of usage in order to quickly give you the best options.
Your technician will take thorough window measurements, square footage measurements of each room and thoroughly inspect all registers and duct work.
We will then present your personalized, comprehensive quote best suited to your home's needs.
Recommendation
All recommendations are thoroughly explained and consider your home's efficiency, size and power needs, as well as the new refrigerant regulations.
Finally, with Rainforest's Up-Front Guarantee you can rest assured that the price you're quoted is the price you pay, and that you are fully briefed on the scope of work before any installation is started.
Installation
We have a large inventory of energy-efficient air conditioners, and once your quote is approved, your technician can get right to work, scheduling a date and time for your install that works with your schedule.
Your personal technician will show up at the predetermined installation time, and will install your air conditioner within 6-8 hours, making sure to maintain a clean and orderly work space (wearing booties and laying down floor coverings) with minimum interruption to your day to day life.
Once the installation is complete, your technician will troubleshoot your new air conditioner to ensure any potential issues are addressed, and walk you through the operation and features of your new air conditioner. Finally they will explain the manufacturer warranties.
And with Rainforest's Put Back Policy you can rest assured, when we clean up, we leave your space better than we found it, guaranteed!
Understanding Energy Efficiency Ratings
Another great way to ensure cost savings when looking for a new air conditioner is by better understanding energy efficiency ratings.
To ensure long term efficiency and savings, look for a high SEER Rating (16 or above) and the Energy Star symbol. Both of these are indicators of an environmentally friendly system that is also kind on your wallet.
