What to Look for in a Heating Services Company

December 12, 2014

When it's the middle of winter, your heating system isn't working, and your skin is turning blue from the cold, it can be tempting to just pick up the phone book and call the first HVAC company you find. That is rarely in your best interests, however. It always pays to do a little research on heating research companies before you hire one, and to have a set of expectations in mind that you want them to meet. Let's examine some of the most important things to look for in a heating services company.

Scope of Service

The more knowledgeable your HVAC company is, the more likely it is that they will be able to solve any problems that may arise with your heating system. The easiest way to measure this across companies is to look at their scope of service. The more different services the company offers, the more they obviously know. No smart company would advertise a service that they did not have full confidence that they could perform. So, always look at how many different services a company offers when you are in the market for an HVAC company.

Good Reviews

When you're looking online for an HVAC company, it pays to read their reviews. Some HVAC companies post reviews from their customers on their own website, which is a good sign. If their website doesn't have any customer reviews on it, dig around a little and see if you can find any on other websites. Remember: customer reviews are from people who are, or should be, more or less unbiased. They've already used the service, and cared enough to write a review informing other people about it. Take advantage of this resource!

Responsiveness

Ultimately, you want to hire an HVAC company that puts you first as a customer. Call them up and explain your problem to them, then see how they react. Once you start interacting with the company, you can form a pretty good impression of how they treat their customers. If you like what you hear, go ahead and go with them.
