What we see in St. Louis City
- Many older city homes still heat with boilers and radiators, or have ductwork added decades later. Ask the contractor to size equipment for the house you have, not just swap like for like.
- Two-family flats often have two systems in tight basements or closets. Confirm access and venting before the install date.
- Homes without ductwork are good candidates for ductless mini-splits. Ask where the indoor heads and the outdoor unit will go, and how condensate will drain.
Questions to ask a heating & cooling contractor
- Will you do a load calculation instead of sizing by square footage?
- Are you licensed where required and insured?
- What are the exact model numbers and efficiency ratings for each option?
- Will the indoor coil be replaced to match the outdoor unit?
- What's included: permit, thermostat, pad, line set and haul-away?
- What's your labor warranty, and how is the manufacturer warranty registered?
- Do any current utility rebates or tax incentives apply?
