Disclosed by **0 of 13** hvac contractors below ### Payment schedule Payments should follow finished stages of work, never get ahead of it. Disclosed by **0 of 13** hvac contractors below ### Warranty: what kind and how long Structural, materials, equipment and workmanship warranties are different things. Check which one the number refers to. Disclosed by **0 of 13** hvac contractors below ### How changes are priced Changes after signing are where budgets drift.

What is the markup? 4. **Which warranty covers what, and for how long?** Ask for the warranty document itself, and whether it transfers if you sell the house. 5. **Who does the work?** Which parts are done by your own crew and which by subcontractors, and are the subcontractors licensed? 6. **Can I see your license and a current insurance certificate?** Check the license yourself on the state's license lookup, and ask the insurer to send the certificate. 7. **What happens if I cancel?** Before permits, after permits and after work starts: what do you keep, and what do you refund? 8. **When could you start, and what delays the finish?** Get the start date in writing, and ask how weather and inspections are handled. ## Section 7 Frequently asked questions Which HVAC contractors in Charleston are included here?
