Hire an HVAC technician by recording a video

Heating and cooling jobs hinge on equipment specs and ductwork a homeowner rarely knows by heart. A quick video of your unit's label and your vents lets HVAC techs diagnose and size a system accurately.

What to film for a HVAC job

A good HVAC technician can quote far more accurately when they see these things in your video:

  • Film the data plate / label on your outdoor condenser and indoor furnace or air handler
  • Show the thermostat and what it's reading versus what you set it to
  • Walk the home and point your camera at each supply vent and the return grille
  • Capture any strange noises, ice on the unit, or water pooling near the indoor unit
  • Note the home's square footage and how many stories it is

What HVAC technicians look for

  • System age, tonnage, and efficiency from the label
  • Whether ductwork can support a new or larger system
  • If the issue is a repair or a full system replacement
  • Refrigerant type, which affects repair cost and options

Common HVAC projects

Whatever the job, showing it on video gets you connected with HVAC technicians who actually do that work.

Frequently asked questions

Why film the label on my unit?

That label tells the tech the system's size, age, and refrigerant — the three things they'd otherwise have to drive out to read. With it on video, they can quote a repair or a replacement far more accurately.

My AC just stopped cooling. Can video help?

Yes. Show the thermostat reading, the outdoor unit running (or not), and listen for whether the fan spins. Many no-cool issues can be narrowed down from that before anyone drives out.
