Peace of Mind
When hiring a contractor, it's important to do some research. Don't take the lowest price you find and assume that contractor will be there for service in your time of need or for any warranty repairs that may be required down the road. There a lot of "fly by night" HVAC people out there who come into the business then disappear. It's important for a homeowner to know where to look to assure that they find a reputable company that has the proper licencing, insurance and experience. It's also important to know that they have been in the industry for a period of time, which will help to assure that they will stick around for further installs and service and also that they know the proper procedures for dealing with any warranty claims you may have.
