Avoid HVAC Scams With These Helpful Tips

If your heating or air conditioning system needs attention, it can be tempting to jump on the first offer and get a quick fix. However, this could mean paying too much for inadequate work on your HVAC repair. Taking the time to do research and understand your options is key to ensuring you avoid getting ripped off on HVAC services.

Research Potential Contractors

It’s essential to spend time researching potential contractors. Doing a quick Google search can provide invaluable information, including reviews and testimonials that could help make an informed decision regarding HVAC replacement and other services. Additionally, it’s crucial to check that potential contractors have all the licenses and insurance required, both by state law and by industry standards.

Get Multiple Estimates

We all know that comparison shopping is the best way to get the fairest value. Getting multiple estimates for HVAC services is no different. More than just price comparisons, it also allows you to compare equipment and warranties. You can then make an informed decision based on value rather than solely cost.

Ask Questions

It’s essential to ask questions when comparing estimates for services such as air conditioning repair. In addition to asking about warranties and the cost of labor, you also have to understand how much replacement parts will cost. Knowing what kind of warranty the contractor offers is also key to learning about your options.

Understand the Contract

Finally, you should study the entire contract before signing. Take special care to read the warranty provisions closely and comprehend what is covered by the contractor’s workmanship guarantee. Look for specifics like how long parts are guaranteed, who will honor them, and how long the labor costs are covered.

We had our AC go out on one of the hottest days of the year. We called as soon as they opened and they came out so quickly and offered us some loaner units to keep our babies and animals cool in the meantime. Matt was so helpful and fixed the problem quickly. He went above and beyond to help us and we will be using Stone Heating and Air to replace our unit when it’s time. They’ll be our first call in the future!
