Who Are You Hiring?
How do you know which HVAC company is best for you? With so many companies to choose from it can be an overwhelming task. Having the right questions in mind before you hire a HVAC technician allows you to determine which company is the right one to meet your needs.
Here are some of the top questions you should ask before hiring an HVAC Technician in Florida.
-
Are you licensed and insured?
Unfortunately, there are a lot of less than reputable heating and cooling businesses out there. This is the number one question you need to ask every AC company you are vetting. Only work with a company that has proper licensing by the state and has insurance to protect themselves and you. You can request their license number and verify it with the state for added due diligence.
-
Do you have any references?
Receiving real customer feedback is gold. Ask the AC company if they could provide any references and see how they respond. If they brush you off or change the subject, that could be a big red flag. Thankfully you have the internet! The easiest way to look for references is to search online. Use their website or other non-bias review sites like Google Reviews or Yelp to view past and current customers. This will give you a broad idea of overall customer satisfaction.
-
Do you subcontract any of your work out?
The reality is, some AC companies will represent that they do all their own work when they actually often subcontract their work out to other individuals that may not be properly licensed. Asking this question will clarify whether or not they will actually be providing the service.
-
How experienced are your technicians?
Having an experienced technician lead your repair, maintenance or replacement on your heating and cooling system is imperative. It is completely acceptable to inquire about a technician’s qualifications in order to verify that they can get the job done right.
-
Do you offer FREE service calls/estimates?
For air conditioning and heating needs, you are likely to shop around before choosing a company. See if the company will provide you with a free service call or estimate. Oftentimes, this is not the case and it may cost you a lot regardless of if you use that company or not.
