WHY DOES YMGI GROUP REQUIRE INSTALLATION AND SERVICE TO BE PERFORMED
100% BY CURRENTLY LICENSED OR CERTIFIED HVAC TECHNICIANS/CONTRACTORS?
Expertise and Safety:
They have the training and experience to accurately and safely install and service your equipment. The equipment
runs with high-pressure refrigerant, oil and electrical current. The copper lines must be installed properly to prevent
leakage and foreign substances from contaminating the refrigerant system.
You will save money in the long run:
If any problem occurs with the unit that has been fully installed by a currently licensed or certified
technician/contractor, contact the original licensed or certified HVAC technician to evaluate the unit as they have
the training and experience to correct the problem quickly and efficiently. A technician may be unwilling to repair
an issue on a unit that they did not install. If you do find a technician willing to perform this service, there is an
increased possibility of higher service fees, increased service visits, or delayed service from that technician.
It's the law!
The federal, state and/or local government and authorities have various governing laws or regulations, guidelines,
ordinances, etc. These laws may require only licensed or certified professionals can install and service this type
of high pressure HVAC equipment.
SUGGESTIONS TO AID YOU IN HIRING AN HVAC CONTRACTOR:
Hire a currently practicing, licensed/certified HVAC professional technician/contractor. Technicians, who are no
longer practicing (retired, etc.) in this field, may not have current technical knowledge or may lack experience on
the equipment you have purchased.
Hiring a licensed technician to install your unit as a "side job" rather than a licensed HVAC company may pose
possible risk. This may result in an incomplete or unsatisfactory installation, no guarantee for workmanship and
lack of maintenance and further service to your unit.
Hire a technician/contractor who services customers in your local area and one you are familiar with. Local
contractors have a faster response time and it will be easier for you to determine if they are reputable.
Use only a reputable licensed/certified HVAC installation professional to prevent any unexpected charges
because of unethical business practices.
Check their references, verify they provide professional service for their customers. N.A.T.E or A.C.C.A certified
technicians are strongly recommended.
Some contractors/technicians may not feel comfortable installing equipment that has been purchased by
someone other than themselves. You can contact YMGI directly to check and see if there are contractors in your
area who have installed our products or any similar products.
Ask for a detailed quote for the complete installation project. A flat rate quote is the safest contract for both you
and the contractor.
Local HVAC technicians may charge you on a project basis or on an hourly basis. It has been our general
experience;
a full single head installation normally can cost $800 to $1500
. These costs are estimates, and
your actual costs may differ due to your specific job requirements and installation location.
Number of hours can vary depending upon each individual situation, some factors are, but not limited to:
Difficulty or complexity of securely installing the indoor unit.
Difficulty or length of the inter-connecting pipes and wires to be installed.
A successful installation is dependent on all these suggestions and necessary steps are followed.
If the contractor(s)/technician(s) are experienced with the systems/brands you purchased.
You might save on
the installation cost but remember to always ask for and verify references.
The contracts should list and detail all work to be performed and the standards they will follow. Some contractors
are willing to include a 1-year installation/service warranty at no extra charge. Check to see if this is an available
option. If available, make sure it is included in the contract.
Verify and confirm the installation is completed and all the unit functions have been tested and working properly.
All items on the checklist should be checked and clearly marked in the warranty registration card/form, prior to
paying the contractor in full.
The cost of not having your unit professionally installed can be more expensive than the additional cost of hiring a
certified contractor. Protect your investment and warranty eligibility by doing it right the first time.
