Title: Tips for Choosing the Best HVAC Contractor
1Tips for Choosing the Best HVAC Contractor
The quality of HVAC work depends on who performs
it. Although it seems as if all commercial
heating and cooling companies would have the
expertise and professionalism to do the job
right, some of them do not. The tips below will
help you avoid contractors that perform poor work
and/or offer bad customer service
2Make Sure the Contractor is Licensed, Bonded, and
Insured Without an HVAC license, a contractor
is not permitted to perform HVAC work in the
state of Georgia, and it may lack the knowledge
to perform HVAC work at all. Without bonding, a
contractor does not offer compensation for stolen
possessions. Without insurance, a contractor does
not offer compensation for injuries or property
damage.
Make Sure the Contractor has the Right
Experience Ensuring that HVAC commercial
contractors have the right experience involves
two things making sure they have experience
installing, repairing, and maintaining commercial
HVAC systems, and confirming they have experience
with the type of system you have, or the type you
will implement. In the end, hiring a contractor
who is notexperienced with your type of system
could be as counterproductive as hiring one who
isn't experienced with commercial heating and
cooling in any form.
3Hire a Contractor that Employs NATE Certified
Technicians Technicians that are certified by
North American Technical Excellence Association,
Inc., (NATE) possess advanced training that other
technicians do not. This training results in a
versatile understanding of new HVAC technologies
and knowledge of the best HVAC installation,
repair, and maintenance practices.
- Speak With Customer References in Depth
- The references of a contractor can be an
invaluable resource for evaluating the quality of
its customer service. You should request at least
six them - enough to supply a meaningful range of
opinion - and ask the right questions when you
speak to them. Instead of asking general
questions, focus on specific questions like the
ones below - Did the price of the project remain the same
as the quoted price? - Were the workers receptive to communication?
- Could parts of the job have been done better?
4Check the Record of the Contractor at the Better
Business Bureau A contractor's record at the
Better Business Bureau (BBB) can reveal things
that you might not learn about from its
references, such as whether it has a history of
not resolving customer complaints. If the BBB
record of a contractor shows unresolved
complaints that are more than a month old, you
should cross the contractor off your list.
Conclusion Evaluating commercial HVAC
contractors is a crucial part of hiring the right
company for the job. If you need a contractor,
the tips above should inform your selection
process. To begin your search, check the website
of the Air Conditioning Contractors of America
(ACCA) for a list of HVAC contractors in your
area.
