Choosing an AC contractor can be a daunting process. The many options in the marketplace, from new to used to old school or modern HVAC systems, make it hard for homeowners to know who they should trust with their most important asset, their home. Here are some things you need to consider when choosing an AC repair contractor:
Do Your Research
Choosing an AC contractor should never be a rushed decision, even if it’s in the middle of summer and your air conditioner has broken down completely. We understand that you might want to get this fixed as quickly as possible but we really urge you to think about what happens after the installation: maintenance costs, energy savings tips, increased comfort levels because they will put more than just insulation on your ductwork- all these things can make a big difference when done correctly.
Online reviews can get stale, but some companies will have great reviews about services you don’t really need. Look for recent happy customers who have hired the contractor they are recommending for similar AC repairs as what you need.
Check Contractor Reputation
If you want to ensure that your contractor is reliable, it’s best if they have a presence in the local community and uniformed employees. They also need branded vehicles with professional output tones of voice when communicating information about their services.
The best way to find a reliable AC contractor in your area is by checking out trusted review websites like Google Reviews and Yelp. Unlike other reviews, these sites don’t filter their reviews which means they can’t just settle for good ratings–they have to be real! Since it’s hard (if not impossible) to create fake positive comments on the website, this makes them an excellent source of information when you’re looking for someone that will get the job done right.
Request a Bid or Estimate
If you were to ask an HVAC contractor about their estimate process, they would tell you that it tells them a lot about the professionalism and communication skills of the company. For example, does he or she come out and actually see your home? Does this person offer guarantees in writing for cost overruns? Is this individual knowledgeable with regards to servicing your brand of equipment as well as duct layouts?
While verbal contact can be acceptable, it’s way better to get the details in writing. Any reputable AC contractor would be glad to provide you a written bid or estimate that they will adhere to. The written bid should include a list of things that need to be done, as well as the price.
