IRST AND FOREMOST RECOGNIZE THAT THIS IS NOT A15-
MINUTE DECISION.
The decision you make in purchasing a heating and air-conditioning system will affect you for the next 15+ years.Most customers have come to recognize that the more heating and air conditioning contractors you talk to the more confused you will become. After three or more “free estimates’ you may be less informed at best, and mentally paralyzed at worst; unable to decode the information to make the right decision for you. What if all that “tech speak” is on purpose. What if it was created to increase your dependency on what the contractor was trying to sell or up-sell you. If an air-conditioning company carries only one brand of equipment which one would they have to tell you is the best?
What you should know is that Gallagher’s Plumbing, Heating & Air Conditioning is an objective source for real time information. They’ve built their business over the past 20 years without “tech-speak” which gives control of the decision-making process to the customer. Customers are provided with easy to understand education and information on how to make a wise investment for their comfort needs.

QUALIFIED TO ASSESS THE PROPER SIZE SYSTEM FOR YOUR HOME
?
Remember, when you purchase an air conditioner & furnace you're buying your utility bill for the next 15+ years.
It’s not hard for heating and air conditioning contractors to oversell you on a bigger system than you need. Sometimes selling you a larger system may not even be intentional. The intention of the contractor may be to make sure you are satisfied with how the system heats and cools your home without consideration of the cost-effectiveness. The contractor just may be ill-equipped to perform an energy assessment needs analysis.
Contractors who do not perform an energy assessment needs analysis may error on the side of caution, in their favor; the customer ends up paying way more than they should and the contractor protects himself from misjudging the right-sized system in the first place. You, however, end up paying more in the long run and sadly you’ll never know how much sooner you could have completed the return on your investment.
Gallagher’s Plumbing, Heating & Air Conditioning provides all of its customers with an Energy Assessment Needs Analysis to accurately access the proper size system for your home.

HE HEATING AND AIR-
CONDITIONING INDUSTRY IS VIRTUALLY VOID OF QUALITYASSURANCE
…
HOLD ON; No one's calling the baby ugly here.
It only gets ugly for the homeowner if they don't know what to expect. Consumer reports don’t tell the complete story. It does not address the quality of the materials used, it won’t tell you if the doors are going to fall off prematurely, or if the tachometer will malfunction and more. A good question to ask when purchasing a new heating and air conditioning system is "how do I know you will install my new system correctly?" And here are some vital points the contractor should cover with you:
a)
A
IR FLOW CHECK analyzes the circulatory system of your heating and air conditioning (how the air circulates through your home). Consider this idea; an inexperienced or worse, unqualified air-conditioner contractor would be unable to properly size the system for your home consequently the ill equipped contractor might oversize your system by half a ton for example just to make sure that you feel the heat and cooling when you need too. Your comfort level and the climate in your home, however, may have nothing to do with whether or not your system is performing efficiently.b) E
VACUATION removes all non-condensable items before you begin using your system. Non-condensable items form “acids” which can cause premature damage to your system.c)

INEP
URGING prevents debris from forming inside your refrigerant circulatory system, which can act as a hidden “booby trap” waiting to cause clogging of your system leading to costly repair calls.Gallagher’s Plumbing, Heating & Air Conditioning provides all of its customers with an Installation Quality Assurance Program. It ensures maximum performance and safety by addressing not only the points mentioned above but 58 other vital check points necessary for quality assurance.

OW DO YOU PICK A COMPANY THAT WON'
T SELL YOU MORE THAN YOU NEED AND WILL GIVE YOU VALUE FOR YOUR INVESTMENT?
Ask the plumbing, heating and air conditioning company you are considering if they will refund your investment if your system does not perform as promised. And will they put it in writing?
Written guarantees are promises of performance and they solve two huge problems for you:
a. It guarantees value for your money.
b. It guarantees that you will receive valuable information without sales pressure because if you are sold more than you need or the system does not perform as promised the company should refund your investment. At Gallagher’s Plumbing,
Heating & Air Conditioning we recognize that it is a major purchase and that you are purchasing your comfort and heating and cooling costs for the next 15 or more years. Gallagher’s Plumbing, Heating & Air Conditioning’s
Satisfaction Guarantee
protects you by refunding
your investment if you are unhappy with the performance of your system and they cannot correct it. And, Gallagher’s Plumbing, Heating & Air Conditioning puts it in writing for your protection!

Liability insurance is not regulated by the California’s State Contractors’
License Board. If a contractor is working in your home without liability
insurance and your home suffers damage if the contractor is unwilling to
pay for it your recourse is to claim the damage on your insurance and risk
raising your rates or worse cancelation. Your other option is to seek legal
recourse in small claims court (taking up your valuable time) or hire an
attorney and incur expensive legal fees—not much fun either way.
Workers’ Compensation Policies protect the homeowner as well as the
heating and air-conditioning company’s employees. If the contractor you
select to install or service your plumbing, heating or air conditioner does
not have a policy in good standing, you can be sued for all medical
expenses by workers who injure themselves while performing work on your
property.
