Tips For Hiring An HVAC Service Technician

Before you hire your next HVAC technician, you may want to do some homework. Making a rash decision can leave you with a world of problems and an empty wallet. There are a number of questions you should ask and things you should look for before you go ahead with the hire.  

License, Please!

Asking to see a proper license is a MUST! Most states require HVAC contractors to be licensed and have an appropriate amount of on-the-job training (usually 2-5 years). In cases where repairing or installing plumbing is necessary to supply oil or gas to heating equipment, the contractor may need a separate plumbing license.

Are You Insured?

You’ll want to make sure the company is insured. What happens if they aren’t and somebody gets injured or the system they install causes a disaster in your home? You guessed it, you’re out the money.

Do You Have Any Referrals or Testimonials?

It’s a good idea to find out what kind of work has been performed in the past. Check for customer testimonials to find out a bit more about the company and their level of professionalism. It’s important to be well-educated before you make any decisions - it can save you a headache in the long-run.
