Whether it’s to keep you cool in summer or to keep you warm in winter, buying a heat pump should always be done with care. This caution is all the more important when it comes to choosing the contractor who will take care of your installation. All too often, in the media, we hear about certain salespeople guaranteeing extraordinary savings based on energy consumption, or promising government subsidies that are the stuff of dreams. Fortunately, the most cautious consumers realize this at the right moment, but others, less fortunate, can lose several thousand dollars in their misadventure. Customers can also pay far too much for their heat pumps, as some salespeople, in their quest to finalize the sale, may dangle the prospect of lower electricity consumption far beyond reality.

Choosing the right specialist

To properly install an HVAC system in Quebec, the contractor must be registered with the Registraire des entreprises du Québec and hold a license from the Régie du bâtiment du Québec (RBQ). The RBQ license ensures not only the quality of the work, but also your protection as a consumer. It provides you with a financial guarantee called a license bond. In other words, it’s an amount of money deposited as security by any contractor applying for a license. In the event of a problem with the installation, this amount is used to compensate consumers who have suffered prejudice resulting, for example, from the non-performance or poor performance of the work.

With the intention of directing you to the right people, we have created a search tool on our website allowing you to find the best authorized Daikin contractor in your area using your postal code. 

As a Daikin distributor, it’s our responsibility to check that contractors’ RBQ licenses are up to date. This way, we can guarantee that you’ll get the advice you need, right from the first contact with the specialist you choose. What’s more, during installation, you’ll be assured of impeccable, comprehensive after-sales service.

Get informed

Nowadays, the Internet is a great tool for carrying out research simply and efficiently. While the results may seem reliable at first glance, it’s important to remember that all companies have the opportunity to promote their services on the web or social networks, whether their intentions are good or not. Fortunately, Quebec’s Office de la protection du consommateur can help you stay away from fraudulent entrepreneurs. With just a few clicks, you’ll be able to find out whether the contractor is the subject of a notice of infraction, penal proceedings or a formal notice.

Finally, don’t forget that by using our search tool to find your Daikin contractor, you’re ensuring that you’ll only have access to a list of certified, trustworthy contractors located in your area.
