1.   When looking for a commercial air conditioning company, you will want to make sure that the company you choose has a strong foundation.
    a.  The company needs to have a strong history of working in your market.
    b.  The company will need to have testimonials from satisfied customers
    c.  The company will need to have experience in your area where your business is located.
    d.  The company should have a guarantee listed on their website.

2.  It is always a good idea to go with the commercial air conditioning company that gives you a choice of different brands, different models and the ability to install and configure these brands and models as well.  You do not want to be stuck with a sales person selling you on 1 product and 1 brand.  Make sure to maintain your options throughout the process.

3.  Ask questions to the commercial air conditioning company around their suppliers, contractors and maintenance warranties on all products.  You request a formal comparison of all products the company recommends.  Once you have this comparison, it is always a good idea to get on the internet and so some research into the products and brands.  

4.  When deciding on the commercial air conditioning company, you should conduct a full interview of the company and then compare companies against your requirements.  Certain companies will come out ahead of others when you follow this process.  Make sure you are evaluating each company with the same criteria and you should do fine.

5.  All of the commercial air conditioning companies in your area should be knowledgeable about the codes and the regulations for installation and day to day running of your system.  This is extremely important as it could cost you a great deal of money in the future if codes and regulations are not followed.  Make sure this is covered in your agreement with the company.

6.  Do not over look the noise regulations when asking the commercial air conditioning companies your questions.  You should also ask about each piece of equipment they recommend how how much noise is produced by the unit.  Noise is increasing becoming a major issues in most areas.  

7.  Make sure to check on local, state and federal incentives for each piece of equipment.  This is a great question for each company as you get an idea who has taken the extra time and effort to insure the customer gets the very best deal.  Also ask the company about the energy efficiency ratings of the various brands.  


8.  Think about long term and ask your commercial air conditioning company.  Do you think you will be expanding your business in its current location?  If this is a possibility, make sure that you ask the company rep questions about expansion and the costs of adding additional equipment for the expansion.  Also narrow down on the costs that are associated in this expansion from their equipment point of view.  

9. Ask each commercial air conditioning company about the certification requirements, licenses needed, and are they bonded in case of an accident while installing the equipment.  These issues are very important in every aspect of the installation.  

10.  Lastly once you have found the commercial air conditioning company you are going to work with and identified the system, you need to set up an air conditioning maintenance schedule.  You will want this in the event the your system fails and you will want regular maintenance performed on your system as well.  Ask the company to show you the recommendations from the equipment company and compare to what the company recommends.
