How to Find a Reputable HVAC Contractor

Choosing a good heating and air conditioning contractor can seem like a daunting task, especially if there are many options in your area. But it doesn't have to be difficult if you do some preliminary research and know which questions to ask. Here are a few tips to help you find a reputable HVAC company:

Ask Your Family and Friends to Recommend HVAC Contractors

Find out which contractors your friends and family have hired for their HVAC needs in the past, and how they found the service to be. Ask whether the contractor was professional and completed the job correctly and within the specified time frame. Also ask about pricing, and whether your friend or family member felt like they received good value for their money.

If nobody you know can recommend an HVAC company for you, find some local companies in a business directory and then read any online reviews you can find about them – comments written by other people provide great clues as to the type of service you are likely to receive. Also try looking up these companies on the Better Business Bureau website to see if any complaints have been lodged against any of them. If you're completely stuck, just visit some HVAC contractors and talk to them in person to get a feel for what they have to offer.

Look at the HVAC Contractor's Qualifications

Find out how much experience the HVAC company has. You're usually better off selecting a contractor that has been in business for a long time. Also ask about the certifications held by the HVAC company's staff, which may include:

• Ozone Depletion Prevention (ODP) – in Ontario / Ozone Depleting Substances (ODS) – in all other provinces
• Gas Fitter 2 or 3 licensing
• Refrigeration and Air Conditioning Systems Mechanics 313A / Residential Air Conditioning Systems Mechanics 313D

If you want to know whether an HVAC contractor is properly licensed, you can also asked if it is an active member of the Heating, Refrigeration and Air Conditioning Contractors of Canada (HRAC-Canada).

Consider the Services the HVAC Company Offers

Make sure you find out whether the heating and air conditioning company offers the types of services you expect. For example, you might like the idea of having a 24-hour emergency HVAC service available in case something happens, or you may be looking for a company that offers rentals for heating and air conditioning equipment. Also look into whether maintenance and service agreements are available after installation and warranty. Yearly insurance plans for HVAC equipment are also an important consideration.

Factor in the Heating and Air Conditioning Company's Prices

Don't choose an HVAC company solely based on who can give you the lowest price. You might think you're getting a great deal, but that's not always the case. Remember, you get what you pay for. Your best bet is to find someone who will provide excellent customer service and quality equipment at a reasonable rate.
