Having heating or cooling problems at home can be extremely uncomfortable and unhealthy for you and your family. The air conditioning and heating is one of the most costly systems in your home, which may require maintenance or replacing. Not only is it important for these equipment to be safe and working properly, they need to be energy efficient equipment as well. However, finding a reputable and competent contractor for air conditioning and heating can sometimes be a challenge.
When choosing a contractor for air conditioning and heating, there are some guidelines you should follow.
•If you don’t know any trustworthy company or contractor, get recommendations from family and friends. You may also search online websites, which have listings of local air conditioning and heating contractors and construction companies, along with comments and feedback from users.
•Check to see if the contractor is a member of one of the national associations such as Air Conditioning Contractors of America (ACCA) or the Sheet Metal and Air Conditioning Contractors’ National Association (SMACNA).
•Use a company, which has certified technicians working for it. Technicians should be certified by the North American Technician Excellence (NATE).
•The Better Business Bureau (BBB) is also a good source to check to see if the company or contractor is an accredited member.
•Select at least three contractors in order to get a quote. Be aware that the lowest quote may not always be the best and extremely low prices may not include standard service and some warranties. A higher quote may mean more value.
•You should always get an estimate after the contractor has examined the heating and air conditioning systems and asked you questions about how they have been working and the problems you have been experiencing.
•If you are installing new equipment, a reputable company will provide you with a written proposal, which will include the type and price of equipment, the labor along with the cost.
• The company should be professional and have an office as this is an indication that they have been in business for some time. Pay attention to how the staff treats you and whether they are prompt and polite.
