Getting several quotes is a wise strategy and it is important to ensure that those quotes are comparable. Ask for a written quote detailing the equipment the contractor intends to install, warranties and safe disposal of the old equipment. A lower bid may mean substandard equipment or experience which could impact your comfort and efficiency needs or, even worse, it may indicate a lack of practical training and experience by the contractor installing the heat pumps.
