The best time to find heating, venting, and air conditioning or HVAC service is before you have an emergency and not during one. Follow these tips on finding a good HVAC in Chicago service and you will be ready in case of a heating or cooling emergency.
Ask Around for Recommendations
Ask your trusted friends, co-workers, church members, or family members in the Chicago area if they can recommend a good HVAC company. Although you should not choose a company strictly on one recommendation, it helps you quickly narrow down your search for the top three or four companies to contact.
BBB Accredited
An HVAC company does not have to have accreditation from the BBB in order to operate in Chicago, but those that do offer distinct advantages. They’ve proved that they can go over the hurdles of getting and keeping accreditation by the BBB. They do not mind their work being scrutinized or criticized. They are true professionals.
Works With Your Brands
Find out the brands of air conditioners and furnaces that you have. It’s best to hire an HVAC company that has experience working with these brands so that repairs can be easily done.
Offers Emergency Services
Air conditioners and furnaces rarely start problems according to a convenient schedule. They tend to conk out on weekends, holidays, and in the middle of the night. You need an HVAC company that offers emergency services and doesn’t just work from 9 to 5. Find out if there are any extra charges for emergency services.
Gives Written Estimates
Never accept a verbal estimate. Only accept a written and itemized estimate. This shows you exactly what you will be paying for. It also helps protect you in case of a dispute. Good HVAC companies will actually have to come to your home in order to see what needs to be done. Many fine HVAC companies will offer free estimates. It’s best to get at least three estimates if you are planning to replace a heater or air conditioner. If one estimate is remarkably lower or higher than the other two, then skip that company. They may not know what they are doing.
