How do you know if the HVAC contractor you choose has the credentials and experience to do the job?

References, Please
Check out the company’s online ratings and testimonials. Are customers satisfied with their work? If so, move on to the next phase, checking out references directly. Talking to past and current customers gives you a real picture of how Georgetown HVAC contractors truly operate. Here are a few questions to get you started:
- Did the technicians show up on time?
- Did the final bill differ from the discussed price?
- Were they happy with the HVAC services?
- Was the technician prompt, friendly, and customer focused?
- Did they show you how to operate any newly installed equipment?
Ask for Proof of Licensing and Certification
Don’t hire a heating and cooling company without proof of licensing and insurance. The state issues business licenses to reputable companies doing business in the state. You don’t want to deal with the headaches that come with hiring an unlicensed, uninsured HVAC contractor.
You can look up the licensing information online. However, you’ll need to ask the HVAC contractor for proof of insurance. If a company can’t produce a current copy of their insurance information, it’s time to choose another contractor.
Does the HVAC Company Use ENERGY STAR Products?
Are you in the market for a furnace, AC or central air installation? If so, ask about the brands and products the HVAC contractor uses. ENERGY STAR products meet the strict efficiency levels set by the EPA. Reputable HVAC companies can explain the importance of using equipment that meets the industry standards, including:
- Cost savings
- More efficient heating and cooling
- Lower environmental impact
- Longer useful life for properly maintained equipment
Ask for a Home Evaluation
Most contractors offer home evaluations. After inspecting your mini-split, AC, furnace, heat pump, or other HVAC equipment, the team at DTC will offer detailed recommendations on how to maintain home comfort year round.
Bigger isn’t always better. Our licensed technicians will look at the size of your home and how it’s constructed. For example, what’s the level of insulation? Are there a lot of air leaks around doors and windows? We may come back with tips to correct issues that will impact the efficiency of your new heating and cooling system.
