Birmingham / HVAC installation
For a Birmingham replacement, ask each bidder how the proposed equipment and ductwork will serve each floor. If the home has two systems, confirm which are being replaced. Request written details on access, removal and included components.

Ask each bidder how the proposed equipment and ductwork will serve each level of the home. If comfort has always been uneven between floors, describe that so the proposal addresses it. A replacement is a chance to raise layout questions, not just to swap equipment. If a room addition or finished basement was added after the original system, mention it so the bidder accounts for that space.
Moving equipment into a basement or crawlspace on a steep lot takes planning. Ask how the bidder will move the old and new equipment and whether any landscaping or steps are affected. Include that in the written scope. Ask whether any part of the old equipment, such as a coil or line set, is being reused and why.
Research the business through the Alabama HACR Board and compare the name with the proposal. Request a written list of equipment, controls, ductwork, electrical work, permit and removal. Keep the signed scope with the warranty details.
