Tips for Finding a Reputable HVAC Contractor
Finding a Reputable HVAC Contractor should be an easy task right? Unfortunately, as a consumer, you have very few resources at hand to help you know if the Air Conditioning Contractor you just called is good, bad or just plain dirty! With the life of an HVAC System lasting between 12-20 years, you may not even live in the same town that you did the last time you needed help! The article below lists a few ways you can prescreen your HVAC Contractor, to be sure you don't get taken for a ride!
Always check with your local Better Business Bureau
The BBB has a chapter in almost every city in the US! After you get to their wbsite, narrow yourself to your own City and simply choose to search by Type of Business. Enter your home zip code, type HVAC into the business category, and tick the box to show only accredited businesses.
By choosing a BBB listed business, you can rest assured they have nothing to hide and respond to all concerns promptly!

Go Directly Through the Manufacturers
Most of the major manufacturers like Trane, Carrier, Bryant, Goodman, Lennox American Standard and others, maintain an approved HVAC Contractors list right on their websites. While this alone won't guarantee you will find a qualified company, it does give you the added backup of the manufacturer itself!
