If you're watching this video, then you're interested in a new heating and cooling system. This video will tell you what to expect during an estimate by a residential sales professional.

Hi, I'm Roger from Fire & Ice and if you're watching this video, you've probably scheduled a time for a residential sales professional to come out to your house and give you a free estimate on a new heating and cooling system. Every time I visit a customer, I make sure they know all the options when choosing a new system. We've broken this video down to three stages to show you the entire process from start to finish. By the end of this video, you'll know what to prepare for ahead of time. Before the estimate, what to expect during the estimate, and what to do after the estimate is completed.

What to prepare for the estimate?

So, let's jump in and see what you need to do to prepare ahead of time before the estimate. The first thing you want to do is clear the area for inspection. So, we have access to measure the existing equipment and of course, the ductwork as well. We also would like you to identify any problem areas possibly that don't heat or cool properly, so we can check those as well to see if there's anything we can do to improve those problems.

And of course, if you visit our Learning Center on our website, there's a lot of good information about our processes. Who we are and what we're going to do for you. And you can also discover product options. We have a wide variety of product options to serve all your needs.

What to expect during the estimate?

Now, let's talk about what to expect during the estimate. The first thing I like to do is confirm my arrival time with you with a call about 30 minutes before I plan on arriving. And of course, I'm going to put my personal protective equipment on before entering your home for your safety. And I want to meet with you and determine any problems or needs that you have. And what we're trying to accomplish.

And of course, we have to inspect the current system, so we know what we're dealing with. And what we can recommend to help you with your problems. Then the next thing I'm going to do is perform the manual J load calculation, which is a calculation to show us what size equipment your home requires to properly heat and cool it. After that, I'll sit down and discuss those results with you so you can see why we're choosing the size equipment we are. And then discuss options that are available for various levels of equipment to suit your needs.

What to do after the estimate?

Finally, let's see what you can do after the estimate is completed. Please feel free to reach out to the residential sales professional We want to answer all your questions. Make sure you understand all your options so you can make the best choice for a system to fit your needs.

And of course, we have a lot of finance options available. If those are something you're interested in and those can be looked at as well. While you're waiting for your scheduled visit, please feel free to visit our Learning Center to learn more about our products and services that we offer. Thank you for watching, and we hope that we can make your day even better.

I had a positive experience with Fire and Ice in the past and my AC installation was even better. Brandon and DQ were very professional. Not only was the install super clean with an impressive 4 fitting duct bend sealed tight, but I needed to work from home during the install and I barely heard them throughout the day. I’ll be recommending F&I to all my friends.

We had 2 AC systems relocated and replaced. Roger (our sales contact), spent most of the day with us calculating the load and measuring the house to ensure proper equipment sizing. Roger was very responsive in helping select a proper and sound location to install the new systems. He came out 3 times to answer questions and inspect the retaining wall/pad. On the day of install, Bryan, Nick and Luke were on time and very respectful of the home. They worked tirelessly the entire day (8am - 6pm) removing the old evaporator(s) and installing the new compressors. Everything was done neatly both inside and out. I would highly recommend their service to anyone considering a new system(s). We just followed up with a pair of new furnaces. Fast scheduling and efficient installation. Luke and Brandon protected the floor and cleaned up after the install.

Brandon was the one who installed our new furnace. He was punctual and very professional. Our new furnace is working great and couldn’t be happier with how it looks. Bryan the sales rep was very informational without being pushy and helped us make the best decision for our house. I recommend anyone who needs a new Hvac unit to call fire and ice.

The sales experience with Luke was great. The installation team of Demetrius, Tyler and Hassan was fantastic. They were on time, were very thorough and did a great job. They take pride in their work and it shows with the final product. They were very respectful, cleaned up and it was a pleasure having them in our house. I highly recommend all these employees and this company. The company is fortunate to have them.

Fire an Ice installed my furnace two years ago so I decided to use them to install my new a/c. Bryan did a great job reviewing all my options and working to get the financing that worked for me. He was also very patient with me and answered all my questions. Demetrius and Will did an amazing job! Considering all the work they did, they were done in four hours. I’m very pleased and would recommend Fire and Ice to anyone needing HVAC services
