If you’re planning air conditioning or heating installation or repairs, a good residential HVAC contractor is critical.

How to Choose a Residential HVAC Contractor

1. Experience

Residential HVACAs much as possible, you’ll want a company and technician who has experience with jobs like yours. Ask your provider how long they’ve been in business and who they’ll be sending to do the work.

2. Reputation

When choosing a company for heating or air conditioning installation and other services, don’t just take their word on the quality of their work. Ask friends and family about their experiences working with the area’s providers, or go online to read reviews and see if there are any common threads between them.

3. License

An above-board contractor should comply with both federal and local laws regarding licensing and documentation. The state of Kentucky ranks HVAC contractors from apprentice to master, and your provider should be able to provide documentation showing their level.

4. ​​​​​​​Insurance

A residential HVAC company that carries adequate insurance has made sure that any accidents or property damage which happen during the course of their work won’t cost you. Ask for proof of insurance before you start working with a provider, and call the insurance company if you have doubts.

5. ​​​​​​​Communication

Wherever possible, you want to choose a professional who will discuss their findings and process with you openly and give you the explanations you need to make an informed decision. Chat with your contractor about the job to see how much information they give you and how well you understand.
