In-Home Evaluation Expectations

Sponsored Content provided by Jimmy Williams - Owner, O’Brien Service Company


When it’s time to replace your HVAC system, it’s very important to have a proper evaluation for your new system.

This assessment needs to be done in your home to get the precise measurements. You should never get a price of a new system over the phone.

This article will explain the in-home evaluation expectations when O’Brien Service Company arrives.


What Measurements And Evaluations Are Needed?

First, we’ll perform a load calculation to determine the size of the system needed. An improperly sized system will increase wear on your system, cause discomfort, and could make your energy bills rise.

Some people assume only square footage affects the size of the system. However, there are many other factors such as the ones listed below:
  • The direction in which your home faces
  • Ceiling heights
  • The number of windows
  • Building material
  • Insulation
  • The number of people occupying the space


After The Load Calculation

Following the load calculation, we’ll look and assess your current duct work. You can get a top-of-the-line system, but when paired with old, inefficient duct work, you’ll never see those benefits.

Finally, they’ll propose several different options based on efficiency and the brands we install. The pricing between all the options will vary.


Is Financing Offered?

Yes. Different systems will qualify for different financing offers, which you can view online at obrienservice.com/financing. During your in-home evaluation, your comfort specialist will discuss this with you, as well as help you apply, if needed. O’Brien does offer financing promotions year-round.


How To Schedule An In-Home Evaluation

There are a few different ways to schedule an evaluation. You can contact the office by phone. Or, you can fill out an estimate request on our website to be contacted. These are free consultations and can take anywhere from one to two hours per system.

You’ll depend on this new HVAC system for many years, so be sure you’re making the right choices!

If you have any questions regarding the in-home evaluation expectations do not hesitate to contact us.
