Check online reviews on Google and trade platforms. Confirm the installer holds a current ARCTick licence for refrigerant handling and an electrical licence for wiring work. Ask whether they carry public liability insurance. Request a written quote that itemises equipment and labour separately. Ask to see examples of recent ducted AC installations similar to your home size and layout.
