TIPS

Stay comfortable with Heating and AC Services

If you’re looking for a qualified professional to install or repair a Heating and AC system, it pays to do your homework. A dependable, skilled technician will always demonstrate proper safety procedures while installing, designing and servicing HVAC systems. The professional should be able to advise you on the frequency of cleaning the heating and air conditioning system, especially if pets, smokers or family members with allergies or asthma are present in the home.

Be sure to ask:

• How long has the contractor been in the residential Heating and AC business?


• Do the company’s technicians possess recognized industry certifications and/or affiliations with respected organizations such as NATE or NADCA?


• Ask to see a certificate of insurance as evidence the contractor has workers’ compensation and general liability insurance coverage.
