Choosing the Right Residential Air Conditioning
and Heating Company
2
When an air conditioner or furnace goes out, the
resulting lack of temperature control leads most
people to make hasty decisions about what air
conditioning and heating company they hire. In
most cases, the simple fact that air conditioning
contractors are licensed, bonded and insured is
enough to make most people feel comfortable about
hiring them. But there are some other crucial
indicators that also distinguish a reputable
heating and air conditioning company from one
that isn't.

They Discourage You from Purchasing Energy
Efficient Equipment
With the proliferation of the green movement,
most people are aware of how energy air
conditioners can significantly lower their
utility bills. If you encounter a company that
discourages you from purchasing an energy
efficient air conditioner, there are probably two
reasons behind the discouragement the company
doesn't have a contract with an energy efficient
air conditioner manufacturer and it doesn't keep
its technicians up to date on the latest forms of
air conditioning technology.

They Offer Extremely Low Bids
What's not to like about an extremely low bid?
Nothing, as long as the bid doesn't result from a
contractor not including routine services and
customary warranties on newly installed
equipment. Another common reason for an
exceptionally low bid is that a contractor is
trying to unload old, unreliable equipment. If
you receive a bid that seems to good to be true,
chances are that it is.
5
They Lack Professionalism
If you make an appointment for a free estimate
and the contractor is late, seems disinterested
in your opinion or both, that's probably how
you'll be treated when you have a problem with
your air conditioning unit. Another sign of
non-professional contractors is that they don't
have physical locations that you can visit.
Because the HVAC industry is known for insincere
contractors that suddenly disappear-sometimes
even in the middle of a job-hiring a company with
a public office is essentially a protection on
your investment.

They Offer an Estimate Over the Phone
An air conditioning and heating company that
offers an estimate over the telephone without
having inspected your home probably has a
business plan in mind because they know you want
your new air conditioner or furnace installed as
quickly as possible, they'll offer you a low
estimate and then raise the price once they
arrive on site, depending on your sense of
urgency to still offer them the job. When a
company offers an estimate over the phone, its
best to say goodbye and move on to the next
company.
