Experience Counts When Choosing a Heating and Air Conditioning Contractor

The right certifications are important. Also, look for a contractor whose technicians are certified by North American Technician Excellence (NATE).  Your residential contractor should belong to the Air Conditioning Contractors of America (ACCA). All these certifications speak of experience, expertise and ethics.

Make sure the contractor is willing to make the trip to your home in order to correctly assess your needs. Load calculations and system sizing must be done on site, and an experienced contractor never guesses.

An experienced contractor is willing to “put it in writing.” Choosing a heating and air conditioning contractor who isn’t afraid to put estimates and proposals in writing means you’re choosing someone who knows what it takes to do the job right.

Choosing a heating and air conditioning contractor with experience is likely worth several points on the SEER and AFUE efficiency scales. It’s estimated that a correctly installed HVAC system can be up to 30 percent more efficient than others.
