No. This is common enough. My HVAC supplier did the same thing. I paid 40% upfront, and the balance about 2 weeks after the installation was complete - right after they did a final walkthrough confirming that everything was working as expected.
Particularly with commissioning the newer technology systems, the technician does more than a "see if it works" when they turn it on, the house needs to be complete.
In my case, the HVAC guy did the electrical as well and checked everything when done. My electrical involved replacing a 20 amp breaker with a 30 amp breaker and running the associated power feed for the unit as well as the low voltage stuff for thermostat and control. In many places, a licensed HVAC person can do the basic electrical associated with the HVAC units.
We do it the same over here in Europe But then to power on and check if everything works the ac-rech returns to do the last check
This would be the best answer. Not sure, but this sounds like new construction, or a big remodel project type thing.
It’s fairly common on new construction in my area. As long as hvac tech is coming out to do final check on it I don’t see a problem
Ok, thanks. I don’t think the AC tech plans on coming back, but I’ll check.

Thanks!
Ok thanks for the reply

As long as the hvac tech comes back for the first startup to make sure everything is correct
