All About HVAC Repair and Installation in Long Beach, CA

Installing a new HVAC system will keep your property at optimal temperature levels, regardless of the mild to moderate weather ranging from the mid-40s to the mid-80s Long Beach experiences throughout the year. Before you start the project, take the first step in a list of things to do to guarantee you’re following recommended installation guidelines. From licensed contractors to required permits, this Buyer’s Guide will show you how to do things right from start.

Permit for HVAC Installation in Long Beach

Like most cities, in Long Beach, whenever certain home improvement projects are scheduled, a permit is required before any work is started. In the case of installing heating, ventilation and air conditioning, a Mechanical Permit is necessary. The permit is to ensure that the project meets the minimum standards for protection against natural disasters and emergencies. You can apply for a permit at the Long Beach Building located at 333 West Ocean Blvd., 4th floor.

Hiring a Licensed HVAC Contractor in Long Beach

This step is critical since you’ll be relying on the expertise and experience of the contractor for several things. First, a qualified contractor knows how to size up your property. This means determining the appropriate system size based on the square footage of your property. When a system is too large for a particular property, it will not run efficiently. This results in higher utility bills and puts an unnecessary strain on the system itself.

When a system is too small, your property will not achieve optimum temperature levels. It also means the system will work extra hard trying to warm or cool areas but it won’t have the power to do so. Again, this can lead to costly maintenance and on-going service calls.

An experienced contractor will know how to do an accurate estimate. For your own information, use an available free online estimate tool to plug in figures and know what size you should have installed. By knowing what the system size should be, you can challenge the findings of the contractor should the two estimates differ significantly. Always be aware there may be contractors who do not hold a state certified license but will tell you they do or try to sell you a larger and more expensive system.

To avoid any questions about unauthorized contractors doing the installation work at your property, check their credentials at the Contractor’s State License Board website. It is a free tool and will provide the necessary information regarding a contractor’s license.

Purchasing an HVAC System in Long Beach

For an investment that will lower your monthly utility costs and increase the value of your property, installing an efficient HVAC system is a good choice. You have several choices when it comes to where to buy a system. Major home improvement stores will have a section devoted to HVAC as do some major retail department stores, depending on the type of system chosen. Private companies may work with only one brand of system while others sell multiple brand lines.

When choosing an HVAC, check consumer reviews for information about the durability and efficiency of the system. Also ask for information from expert sales personnel about their particular line of equipment. This includes the many different types of HVAC systems such as packaged heating and air conditioning, heating and air conditioning split air conditioner system, a ductless air conditioner, split heating and air conditioning and hybrid heat split system.

Key information to have at hand is what type of SEER rating (Seasonal Energy Efficient Ratio) and HSPF rating (Heating Season Performance Factor) each system carries. Both are important. The current SEER rating is a minimum of 13. For HSPF, the current minimum rating for heat pumps is 7.7.

The price of the HVAC system will be reflected in the ratings. The higher the SEER and HSPF ratings, the more expensive the system will cost. Overall, you should recoup the additional cost of the system through lower monthly utility bills over time.

By following this guide, the installation process should run smoothly. Once installed, you’ll not only add a level of comfort to your property, you’ll also experience lower utility bills and an increased property value.
