Points to keep in mind

• Placement matters for snow and drainage. Units are often raised on stands so meltwater can drain and snow doesn't block them. More on heat pumps.
• Zoning adds dampers, controls and design work. It isn't always the fix for uneven rooms. More on thermostats and controls.
• Rebates and incentives may be available from utilities or government programs for qualifying equipment. Availability changes over time. More on furnace repair and replacement.
• A clean filter is the simplest maintenance item, and many no-heat calls trace back to a clogged one. More on furnace repair and replacement.
• Timing helps. Scheduling a tune-up before peak season may be easier than during the first heat wave. More on AC Tune-Ups and Maintenance.
• Heat pumps need correct configuration, especially for auxiliary heat. More on thermostats and controls.

What to have ready

• Say whether you own or rent, and whether the home has a basement, crawl space or attic access to the equipment.
• Mention what you have already checked, such as the thermostat batteries and settings, the filter and the breaker.
• List times you can be reached and when someone can provide access.
• Share the approximate square footage of the home and how many levels it has, especially for replacement quotes.
• Note the make, model and approximate age of your furnace, air conditioner or heat pump. The label is usually on the side of the unit or inside a panel.

Good questions to ask any provider

1. Will I need a common wire added?
2. What does your tune-up checklist include?
3. Is a heat pump worth considering for my home?
4. Will you perform a load calculation, and can I see the result?
5. If replacement makes sense, will you perform a load calculation to size the new unit?
