Choosing an HVAC contractor for work on your Peachtree City area home may seem like a daunting task, but it can be made easier by following a few simple steps. Begin by obtaining several HVAC installer quotes, and when you have them in hand, use the following tips to narrow them down to the perfect one.

• Ask for references. A reputable company will be happy to provide you with at least three local and recent references. Call each with a list of prepared questions regarding the level of quality, service and professionalism of the contractor.
• Get to the bottom of a low quote. Be suspicious of a quote that comes in well below all the rest. It may be that the equipment in the lowest quote is the incorrect size, offers much lower efficiency or has an inferior warranty in comparison to the rest.
• Never forget a face. Discard any quotes given over the phone or email. A true professional will visit your home in person to properly inspect and size your HVAC system.
• Unleash your inner P.I. Ask for and verify the contractor’s insurance and licensing information, making sure each is valid and current.
• Experience counts. Look for a contractor with at least 10 years of experience in your area.
• Read the fine print. Make sure the quote you receive is in writing and detailed, to include parts, labor and warranty information.
• Use your crystal ball. Look toward the future and choose a contractor with a solid preventive maintenance plan. Annual maintenance will help keep your equipment running efficiently and prevent costly repairs.
• Trust your gut. If you don’t have a good feeling about the contractor, take them out of the running; your peace of mind is worth more than a good deal.
• Plan for an emergency. What happens if your HVAC system breaks down at 11 p.m. or on Thanksgiving Day? Opt for a company that provides 24/7/365, emergency service.
