While many customers do thorough research about furnace and air conditioning brands before making a final decision, most don’t do the same amount of research on the installation company. It’s important to remember that quality matters when selecting a heating and cooling company and homeowners should consider reputation, company history and qualifications when choosing an HVAC (Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning) company.

Choosing the wrong, or untrustworthy heating and cooling company can lead to costly repairs because of sloppy work. The pictures below illustrate some projects that we’ve been called to fix which have cost homeowners in time, comfort and stress.

Before committing to an installation or repair company, make sure you’ve considered the following factors:

1. Required Services: Knowing exactly what services you need can help narrow down your search. There are a lot of HVAC companies in your area and many specialize in different services. Before you start researching more about a specific company, make sure they actually provide the service you require.

2. Reviews & Reputation: Taking the time to research a company’s online reviews can give you an idea of what previous clients have experienced. A higher number of satisfied customers means you are more likely to receive quality service and professional work. You can also check social media and review responses to see how the company engages with customers and resolves issues. This will give you an idea of how much the company values its reputation and quality of service.

3. Company History: Having an established history and proven track record over the years can also set a heating and cooling company apart. Longevity and success go hand in hand, so choosing an HVAC company that’s been in business for a long time can provide some assurance that they have a proven history of trusted reliability. That’s why being in service for over 70 years is a big deal to HAMCO Heating & Cooling!

4. Credentials: It’s important to only choose an HVAC company with their own technicians that are fully trained, licensed and certified. A reputable and professional heating and cooling company will not use sub-contractors to do their installs. You should also ask for quality and customer satisfaction guarantees to make sure your home comfort investment is completely protected.
