Would you get on a bus with a driver who doesn’t have a driver’s license? How about letting a dentist fill a cavity without a certificate? If either scenario makes you uncomfortable, so should contracting an unlicensed HVAC or plumbing company. B&B Plumbing and Heating in Oxford, OH, is licensed and insured. Each professional is fully trained to take care of any heating, cooling, or plumbing problems you may have at your home or business. Hiring a professional makes a world of a difference to the quality of the services provided to you. Go for an unlicensed contractor instead, and you could risk your safety and finances.

Let’s say you call an unlicensed plumber to fix a leaking pipe. They may end up replacing the pipe with one that doesn’t meet the building’s standards of safety. Or worse, they use the wrong kind of pipe for your plumbing system entirely. Next thing you know, one leaky pipe turns into an overflowed room. Also, you end up paying for the damages. Not what you bargained for.

In Ohio, anyone going into the HVAC or plumbing business must be licensed. This assures potential customers that the technician understands the fundamentals in their fields, including maintenance, installation, repair, and use of electronic or plumbing parts. Simply put, they’re only licensed if they know their stuff. This is measured by how many years they’ve worked as an apprentice under a master licensed contractor or if they’ve taken an accredited program in their field. Aspiring plumbers or HVAC technicians need between two to five years of work training experience. This means not just anyone can call themselves a professional!

Unlicensed contractors can also cost you in the long run. Remember the overflowed room? Now imagine an unlicensed HVAC technician falling down the stairs with your brand-new air conditioner. In case of any accidents on the job or damages to your home, you’ll be the one paying the hefty bills. Unlicensed usually means uninsured. Insured contractors, on the other hand, would cover their own expenses.

While it may be tempting to hire someone who can give you a bargain on air conditioner services or leaky faucet repairs, remember that you’ll be risking your home and wallet.
