What to ask before you hire, from Rocky.

Furnace, boiler, heat pump and air conditioning installers and technicians. Use this checklist when you compare air conditioning & heating, then ask Rocky if you want a second opinion.

  • Gas furnace work needs a certified gasfitter and a gas permit.
  • Ask them to size the system with a heat-loss calculation, not by guesswork.
  • Get at least two written quotes that list scope, materials, schedule and payment stages.
  • Contractors who take money before the work is finished need an Alberta prepaid contracting licence. Ask for the number before you pay a deposit.
  • Ask for a WCB Alberta clearance letter and proof of liability insurance.
  • Read recent reviews and ask for references from jobs like yours.
