UnclaimedWhat a good quote should include
Comparable quotes are how you avoid the small-owner upcharge. Ask every pro to cover:
- Equipment brand, model, size (tons or BTUs), and efficiency rating
- Whether a load calculation was done or the old size is just being matched
- Crane, electrical, and ductwork changes included or excluded
- Permit and removal of old equipment
- Parts and labor warranty terms, listed separately
Licensing in Massachusetts
In Massachusetts, gas piping and gas appliances must be installed by a licensed gas fitter, refrigeration work needs a licensed refrigeration technician, and ductwork falls under sheet metal licensing. Ask which licenses the crew holds and check them with the state.
Permits come from Salem's building department. Plumbing, gas, and electrical work each need their own permit, pulled by the licensed trade doing the work.
Common HVAC jobs in Salem
Salem has some of the oldest building stock on the North Shore, including many 19th-century multifamily and mixed-use buildings. Exterior work on a building in one of Salem's local historic districts may need historical commission approval before a permit is issued, so ask any pro whether they've worked in the districts before.
