If you have ever had a home remodeling project, you know how many people move in and out of your house on a daily basis. Usually, you hire a single contractor who has to subcontract to many other skilled workers, and the project price goes up with each one. Then there is the waiting while each contractor has to call the other or run changes up the flag pole, and it can be an absolute nightmare. Unfortunately, that is the nature of the business, and there is not a lot your contractor can do about it. One way to save money and do the job more quickly is to hire a company that simultaneously does HVAC and electrical work. If this doesn’t sound like a big deal, you probably haven’t considered all these benefits.

Convenience

Of course, the most obvious reason is that having a single person or team do the entire project. It will likely cost a little less, and since there is no need to coordinate between the HVAC and electrical teams, the project will be completed more quickly. There is also less of a chance of ego and infighting getting in the way between two skilled workers from separate companies.

It Just Makes Sense

Most HVAC systems rely on electricity on some level, whether it is small electrical components in a gas system or a fully electric system. Again, this means that you can do the job faster and with the highest accuracy because the company understands how both sides of the equation work. Additionally, having that knowledge may help them with workarounds and inventive solutions that they may not have if they didn’t have a universal knowledge of electrical and HVAC. Their expertise and knowledge of both specialties make them acutely aware of how both sides interact, which means they can ensure the optimal level of performance and safety for each unit.

Problem-Solving

HVAC systems are often complex, and electrical work isn’t always a walk in the park. The marriage of these two can often cause problems, whether in a historic building or a newly constructed home. Having a company do both means that not only do they have the expertise to solve any issues that arise, but they have likely already met that issue before and already have a solution.

Enhanced Safety

Safety should be the first priority on every job site, but that isn’t always the case. Before the job ever starts, a company that can do both electrical and HVAC already knows what it takes to make the job safe. They also know precisely what permits they need to pull and the code standards, which means that your family will be safer, and you won’t have the headache of not being up to code. Proper wiring is essential to keeping your HVAC equipment safe, and when you hire the same company for both, they will ensure that they did it right because they are solely responsible if something goes wrong.

Streamlined Services

The most noticeable benefit to the consumer is streamlining services, starting with the price. The job will likely cost less since you are only making one call and hiring a single company. In addition, additional fees, like the service call aren’t being doubled up by calling two companies. It also means that even if you need two separate professionals for the job, they have the schedules in front of them to quickly set up a time that works in your schedule instead of having to work with multiple companies and schedule months in advance.

Hassle-Free Maintenance

Even after the job is done, most HVAC systems need regular maintenance. It only makes sense to start with a company that can care for every part of your HVAC system so you know who to call for maintenance. Sticking with the same company that installed your unit builds strong relationships that benefit the consumer because the longer you do business with the company, the more they get to know you and your system. On top of more efficient maintenance, you may find that loyalty benefits you in other ways, like faster service calls and possible specials.

Looking Toward the Future

Smart home technology isn’t going anywhere, and for the most part, it requires extensive knowledge about HVAC and electrical systems that HVAC-only professionals may not understand. A company with experience installing these products will know the ins and outs of the products and any additional wiring they need to be efficient. This is especially true when people try to integrate smart home technology into older houses that weren’t built with it in mind. 

Do It Right the First Time

In a challenging economy, it is no surprise that homeowners are looking for ways to save money. Hiring a company that can do HVAC and electrical in one trip saves you money upfront and in the long run by ensuring your unit runs efficiently from day one.
