Picking the Best HVAC Contractor – 7 Questions When Hiring.

Are you looking for HVAC repair or installation services? It is important to hire the best HVAC contractor available. Here are seven questions to ask your contractor to ensure that they are right for the job: 

1. Are You Licensed? 

A license is the best way to prove that the contractor is a professional. Check to see that the license is real. Additionally, certifications from regulators and other authorities are a plus for the contractor's credibility. 

2. Do You Have Liability Insurance? 

HVAC systems are expensive, and your HVAC contractor may make damaging and potentially costly mistakes (nobody is immune from a mistake). The contractor should pay for such mistakes, so ensure that they have liability insurance coverage. 

3. How Long Have You Been in Business? 

Experience is an added advantage when it comes to hands-on work like repairing and installing HVAC systems. As such, check to see the contractor's experience. You can also ask to review their past projects. 

4. What is Covered in the Project's Quote? 

What is the scope of your HVAC project – do you need simple repairs or a complete installation? Check to see that the contractor's quote covers all of these services to avoid hidden costs when the project starts.  

5. Can You Recommend an Efficient HVAC Unit for My Needs? 

HVAC systems come in varying designs and offer varying heating/cooling capabilities. Your contractor should be able to recommend an energy-efficient brand/model depending on your needs. 

6. How Soon Can You Complete the Project? 

Ideally, your HVAC system should be up and running as soon as possible. Simple repairs take a few minutes, but extensive repairs and installations may take longer. Ask your contractor how long you will have to wait. 

7. What Happens if the New HVAC System Develops Complications? 

HVAC contractors can make mistakes, as mentioned. Ideally, your contractor should guarantee that the HVAC system will work properly when it is done. It is worth noting that many contractors offer warranties.
