How can I find a good AC technician?

Steps To Picking The Right AC Technician

When the weather is hot and you are exhausted after a long day working or attending school, the last thing you need is to deal with is an air conditioner unit that makes strange noises and refuses to flow cool air into the home. Most take for granted that appliances will work as designed and are unprepared when they do not. It also seems that appliances, such as air conditioning units, break down at the worst possible times, after a long day or before a planned event with guests arriving.

Finding Help: When the AC unit quits or doesn’t function properly, you need to know how to find an AC contractor who can get the AC unit up and running quickly, efficiently and without breaking the budget. Here are steps to take to find that AC contractor.

Ask: At some point, everyone’s air conditioning unit needs repair or replacing. That means family members, friends, even co-workers have dealt with this problem. Ask for recommendations of local AC contractors that did the job on time and on budget. This can also eliminate those contractors with whom they were not satisfied.

Check Listings: Look in the phone book, either print or online versions, for local AC contractors. Read the ads. Look for accreditation, licenses and certifications. From these, choose three and check out their websites. See how long they’ve been in business and whether they are a part of the community. What guarantees do they offer? Are they available 24/7?

Read Reviews: Check out reviews of the companies you are considering. Since, these days, some reviews are faked or even added by competitors, read with a critical mind. Eliminate the worst and the overly “gushy” reviews. Focus in on those that have the ring of sincerity, whether positive or negative.

Talk to the AC Company: Once you’ve narrowed down the list, call the company. Don’t be afraid to ask specific questions. It is a good idea to write these down beforehand. Since you are looking for an AC company with whom to do business for the foreseeable future, look for a staff that is accessible, knowledgeable and friendly.
