Certifications to Check for in a Heating Installer
When considering hiring a heating installer to convert your oil heating system to an electric system, it’s essential to verify certain certifications to ensure you’re hiring a qualified and reliable professional. Here are some important certifications you should look for:
- RBQ (Régie du bâtiment du Québec) Certification: This certification is mandatory for all heating contractors in Quebec.
- Your electrical panel
- Your current furnace or heating system
- The oil tank
- The square footage of your home
Make sure the installer you choose has a valid RBQ license.
CMEQ (Corporation of Master Electricians of Quebec) certification: For a safe electrical installation that meets current standards, check if the installer is a CMEQ member.
TSSA (Technical Standards and Safety Authority) certification: If you are in Ontario, make sure the installer holds TSSA certification to work legally.
In addition to these certifications, it is recommended to check if the heating installer has completed additional training on new technologies and energy efficiency practices. Furthermore, don’t hesitate to ask for references and consult reviews from previous clients to ensure the quality of service.
By choosing a certified and experienced heating installer, you are guaranteed a job well done and compliant with standards. Remember that converting to an electric heating system is a significant investment for your home, so it’s crucial to hire a qualified professional.
Don’t hesitate to explore the different options available and request detailed quotes to make an informed decision. Switching to a greener heating system is an important step towards a more sustainable and environmentally friendly lifestyle.
