Choosing A Reputable HVAC Contractor

The first question you should ask, is the contractor licensed?   If licensed properly, the contractor will also have insurance and be a legitimate business professional.   Don’t be fooled though, because no proof is required to take out an advertisement out on Facebook, Craigslist or any internet advertiser.    You need to be diligent when researching.

Some of the following questions are great starters:

• How long have you been in business?

• How many employees and are they paid as employees?

• What manufacturer endorsements can you provide?   A good HVAC contractor will have at least one, but variety means that they can give you options from the best to also within your budget.

• What is the experience level of contractor and employees?   Have they been formally trained or did they suddenly just jump into the business because they saw potential for income.

• What level of insurance coverage do they maintain?   If they can’t rattle off a number immediately and be willing to show proof, you may need to be cautious.

• Is there any Better Business Complaints?   A good business owner will always respond to every call to action.  

At the end of the day, you can find a hillbilly with a pickup truck if that is what you seek.   It is unlikely that it will be a true finance saver.    Improper installations and poor product selection will add costs up quickly and you will end up spending more.   Don’t be fooled!
