Questions for Your Atlanta HVAC Installer 0

May12

It can be tough finding a good quality Atlanta HVAC installer. Many people are wary of any type of service company because of horror stories they have heard in the past. While it is true there are many bad companies, there also are just as many very good companies to deal with. Finding these companies can be easy if you know to ask the right questions. By obtaining several referrals from friends and family you will be able to contact several HVAC contractors and ask them the following questions to be able to ensure your Atlanta HVAC installer is qualified and will do a good job.

The first question you should ask is whether or not the contractor is licensed. Many local regulations will require businesses to be licensed to conduct business in a certain area. You may think all businesses are operating legally with the proper licenses; however, you would probably be shocked at the number of installers which do not bother to obtain the license for their local area or operate in areas which they are not licensed.

Another important question is to ask about their liability insurance. Dealing with an unlicensed contractor could be trouble. Even if you have homeowners insurance you could still be at risk of being liable in the event of an accident. Also, more and more insurance companies are dropping even long time policyholders after just one small claim. This question is important to make sure your HVAC installer is properly insured.

It is also wise to ask for a list of references from each of the companies you are considering. Even bad installers will do a good job every now and. So, a list of just a few satisfied customers may not mean much; however, smart companies will often solicit references from each job. These companies typically keep these references in a book to show prospective customers. If the company has a giant book of references it means they are consistently doing good work and may not even require calling the references.

Finally, be certain to get a written guarantee of work performed. All quality HVAC installers will guarantee their work for a period of at least one year.
