is he bringing it in the house and removing the packaging and plugging in?

if so i'd say it would be nice to give a lil something

if they are just dropping it off at the house then no. if you end up helping move it then no

agreed
also if they are bringing it inside tip them before they bring it in so they are extra careful and take their time to do it right and not break anything

a good rule of thumb is any courtesy service tips are usually a norm
