The Don’ts
Since most home owners only think of hiring an HVAC repair expert when faced with an emergency, it is important that you acquaint yourself with some of the Don’ts of hiring an A/C repair company. For instance:
– Do not hire a company that sub-contracts the project to a different contractor. A company that sub-contracts a project awarded to it to a different company is less likely to provide you with quality services since it lacks the right expertise and skills needed to handle the job.
– Do not hire a company that requests for payments up front. Such companies are more likely to disappear once the work is done since they know that the services they have just rendered are of low quality.
– Do not allow a technician that arrives at your home with an unbranded car to work on your air conditioner. Odds are that the technician is simply a sub-contractor and as such there is no way of determining the level of service you will receive.
