How do I find a good HVAC contractor?

jay443 | Posted in Mechanicals on

I have issues with my ducting and what I can only assume is an unbalanced system. Some rooms are warm/cold, but others are fine. I would like to have a knowledgeable HVAC contractor help me out with my system, but I know that the general solution is to just throw “more power” at it. I’m looking for someone who truly understands the science of designing an efficient system, and this isn’t something that can be determined from websites or reviews online. Does anyone have recommendations on how to find someone like that? BTW, I am in Minneapolis/St. Paul. Thanks.

    Jay,
    If I were you, I would call up an Energy Star Homes builder, or an energy rater certified by RESNET or BPI, and ask them to recommend an HVAC contractor familiar with building science principles.
