Our team at Energy Sharks understands that your home is important to you, and that you’ll naturally want to keep it in the best possible condition. In order to do this, it’s sometimes necessary to hire professional contractors to handle repair and maintenance tasks. This is especially true when it comes to your HVAC system, as only trained HVAC contractors can give you the high-quality results you deserve. With that said, not all HVAC contractors are created equal, and it can be tricky to determine whether you’ve found one you can count on or not. To help you make that call, our team has put together this list of red flags to avoid when hiring an HVAC contractor.
- Limited Staff- In general, it’s best to avoid HVAC contractors that have very few staff members, especially one-person operations. When your HVAC system malfunctions, you need to get it fixed as soon as possible, and smaller teams often won’t have enough technicians available to tend to your situation. Our team has the necessary resources to provide expedited service to get your system back up and running in no time.
- Not Insured- Another red flag to avoid when hiring HVAC contractors is a lack of insurance coverage. Even a team as experienced as ours can make mistakes, and damages can occur during the course of the project. We acknowledge that possibility, and we prepare for it by carrying insurance that will pay these costs rather than pass them to you.
- Lack of Professionalism- Lastly, avoid HVAC contractors that don’t show a firm commitment to professionalism. You can see this in things like the way their technicians and staff comport themselves, and whether the team has a uniform or not. While it may seem unimportant, a company uniform shows a commitment to quality and professionalism, while a lack of one shows a lack of that commitment, and a lack of team cohesion.
