Your HVAC system, aside from the house itself, is the most valuable component of your home. It’s worth significant money, and provides a crucial service, keeping you comfortable. You expect it to accomplish this goal safely and cost-effectively. This is why it’s essential, when it comes to servicing, maintaining, or upgrading your heating or cooling system, that you hire a reputable HVAC company. But how can you be sure you can trust the company that sends a technician to you home?
Following are some tips:
- Ask friends, neighbors, or coworkers whom they hire for HVAC work. If someone says they have a long-term, positive relationship with a local company, investigate further. Go to their website and look for awards, certifications, and/or testimonials. Once you’ve settled on a company, ask them for a few references.
- Appearances certainly can be deceiving, though a professional appearance and demeanor should be a baseline requirement for the HVAC technician who comes to your home. Avoid hiring a neighborhood handyman to work on sensitive HVAC equipment. You could risk damaging your system.
- If the HVAC company offers to give you a quote over the phone for an installation or significant repair, that’s a red flag. A reputable company should insist on coming to your home and inspecting the equipment and/or situation before giving a quote.
- The technician should produce evidence of professional certifications, such as NATE (North American Technician Excellence), which reflects training and experience in both general and specific areas of HVAC expertise.
- If the technician is there to repair cooling or heating equipment, they should provide you with a clear diagnosis of the problem, along with the cost of repairing it and how long it will take.
- For an installation, the HVAC technician should complete a heating or cooling load calculation before recommending a system size. They should review your options with regard to cost, energy efficiency, and advanced features.
