The cooling and heating systems are among the most important and complex systems that you can see in every home in Canada. Like other homeowners, you may as well need to get a certified HVAC service provider to install, repair, or maintain your heating and cooling system at some point in time. Because your Ottawa HVAC includes the use of natural gas, electricity, oil, and toxic refrigerants like Freon which can be harmful to you and your entire family, it is imperative that you hire certified and professional heating and cooling system service provider.
Check insurance and license requirements Every state may have different insurance and license requirements for contractors. Check with your state’s Building Department for the specific insurance and license requirements. Also, check for the list of registered contractors available in your state to know which ones are duly qualified to render HVAC system services.
Check rating and membership Once you have hand picked a few potential contractors, check if the companies you have chosen have Better Business Bureau membership. Also, consider their rating. If the rating is mostly positive and there were only a few or they’re no recorded complaints, then such company is a good choice.
Ask for referrals Ask your family and friends for referrals or recommendations. There is no better way to evaluate a service provider than through words of mouth. If your family and friends have hired certain Professional HVAC service provider at least once and they were satisfied with its service, then you may as well try hiring the said contractor. But do not just stop there. Be sure to do your own homework as well and do some additional research. Check the credibility, qualifications, and experience of the contractor to ensure that he is really reliable and knowledgeable when it comes to handling HVAC repair, installation, and maintenance.
Ask for company background A legit and reliable company should have a sound background and description. Ask the potential contractors if they can be able to provide you with resources where you can learn more about their operation, their company background, experience, and ratings. Also, ask for a list of their past clients and then call two or three of them randomly.
Estimates and financing options Ask the potential contractors for written and itemized estimates as well as their financing options and payment terms. Be sure to compare not only the cost or service fee but also the warranties and energy efficiency. A Certified HVAC technician is expected to come up with a fair price and he should not also ask for advance payment. The company where the technician is connected to should also accept different payment options including cash and credit cards.
