Get your AC repaired by contractors in Houston

Many people, especially those who live in extremely hot climates and those who have breathing trouble in hot weather, need air conditioning, and when it is not working, they need to call in someone to repair it. You may also need someone to install your new air conditioner. For either of these two situations you need to hire a professional air conditioner contractor. These professionals should be experienced, licensed, certified, and insured should something go wrong during installation or repair.

Having your heating or air conditioning system serviced is an important yearly task. To ensure your system gets the best service possible, you need to find a certified HVAC technician. To hire the best contractor, follow these tips.One way to find a professional air conditioner contractor is to talk to your family and friends to see whom they use. Your neighbors may also be able to give you the company they used. If they have a website check out what services they offer, any customer reviews, and their “about” or “company” page to learn more about the company.

Before you call anyone, you need to know the state requirements for heat, ventilation, and air conditioning contractors. Search quickly AC contractors Houston and learn on the training experience a person must have before they can get a license in the state. This training can come in the form of technical school education plus on-the-job training or just on-the-job training. Most states require anywhere between two to five years of training.

Do not just pick one AC contractors Houston but contact, at least, two or three. Have a list of questions ready before you call and make notes of their answers. Some of the questions you should ask include:

• • Do they offer free estimates and if not what do they charge for an estimate?

 

• • What they charge per hour and if they charge a mileage fee for coming to your home?

 

• • Are they bonded, certified, and insured?

 

• • How much experience do their air conditioner contractors have?

 

• • How long the company has been in business?

 

• • What type of warranty do they offer on the parts used to repair the air conditioner and any other warranty they might offer?

 

• • Do they offer twenty-four hour service in case of an emergency and if so what they charge for emergency calls?

 

• • Do they do a background check on their employees?

 

• • Do they offer Energy Star products?

 

• • Do they have any references or former clients that you can contact to check out their reputation and what they say about their service?

 

When the company comes to your home to give you an estimate ask to see proof of the company being insured and certified because they can say it but it may not be true, especially if it is a company that you got from your local newspaper or telephone book. Also, inquire as to what type of payments they accept and if they offer contracts for monthly payments. You can always check with your local Better Business Bureau to see if any negative reports do not appear on their website on the company you are considering hiring to do the repairs or installation.

Asking these types of questions will help you choose the HVAC repair company in Houston.
