The only thing that the contractor may require is that you obtain a permit for the wiring, and a inspector has to come out and say its ok. I know thats what they did with our last system. The HVAC tech needs to sign the install permit. Licensed HVAC installers are required - at least in Wake Co. Unlike electrical work.
You might be able to find someone to JUST make the final connections and sign-off on the permit. If you do find a good HVAC tech willing to work on a fair but flat hourly wage, please let me know !

All of the major brands I've looked at (Mitsu, LG, GE, Hitachi/Soleus, Fried.) require soldered connections. Even the ones that are "pre-charged" require the lines to be evacuated, tested and soldered before the precharge is released into the tubing. Which requires specialized tools and skills.

I have no idea if they make them anymore actually, so I may be talking out my you know what. The ones I used to hook up were bought locally, like at Noland Co. or somewhere like that, but they were bought by a licensed person, so no idea about retail. | |
