Selling heating and air conditioning systems is an important part of our business…as it is for many of our customers. To provide contractors with accurate and timely estimates and good job layouts we need to start from a good information base. When we start design work with all needed details we can do a better, faster job of getting top notch system estimates to you.
This is some information we need to get the job done for you:
1. Fuel of choice
2. Equipment brand of choice
3. Job name
4. Outside design temperature at jobsite
5. Preferred location of boiler, furnace, or air handler
6. On ducted systems, show us where trunk lines should be located
7. If system is zoned, show use where the zones will be
8. Average ceiling heights if not 8 feet
Floor covering for each room on radiant
floor systems
10. In concrete (wet) or under or on plywood sub floors (dry)
When building drawings are on 8x11/14 paper, check to see they are to some scale and be sure it's noted. If no scale is used, please mark down room and window sizes so we can give you an accurate estimate. If possible get ¼"/foot blueprints with both floor plans and elevations. Hand drawn layouts are often better than poor quality professionally drawn prints. With good drawings we can provide you with good layouts and accurate material estimates.
Lastly, use our layouts to sell your jobs. Show them to your customer…but never give them to him. These layouts will convince him that you have carefully considered his project and will do the job correctly. Spend time going over details. This is where good presentation and clear communicating will often get you the job. Let us help you close the sale.
