Choosing the Right HVAC Company

Monday, July 11th, 2016 at 11:00 am

Not all HVAC companies are created equal, both in terms of expertise and how they treat their customers. You could have an incredibly wide array of experiences, from the near-perfect to the absolutely horrible, depending on the company you choose to help you. This is why it's important that you always do your research before selecting an HVAC company to help you with your needs. Let's take a look at some of the different things you should look for when choosing the ideal HVAC company.

Certifications

There are a few standard certifications present in the HVAC industry, which serve to highlight expertise in the field. NATE certification is a common one, awarded by an independent and non-profit national organization. If your HVAC company employs NATE-certified technicians, you can be confident that they know what they're doing.

Upsells

There are a handful of problems in the HVAC industry that, if they occur, make it more cost-effective to replace the system than to repair it. However, these problems are few and far between. Way too many HVAC companies make a habit of trying to sell you entirely new systems for outrageous amounts of money, when all you really needed was to get a part replaced. If you're quoted a price that sounds really high, or your technician tries to push you into getting a new system for what seems like a small problem, call around and get a second opinion before agreeing to it.

Reviews

Word-of-mouth is still one of the top sources of new business for HVAC companies around the country. Before calling an HVAC company for the first time, have a look at what other customers say about them to make sure they offer high-quality services.
