When you need a cooling or heating repair, seasonal maintenance or a system replacement, your decision on who to hire will be essential to your family’s comfort and safety, while having a significant impact on your household budget.

But how do you go about selecting the best among Cincinnati HVAC companies? In other words, what’s the best way to find a trustworthy, competent and reliable heating and cooling contractor (that won’t cost you an arm and a leg)?

Cheap Can Cost More in the Long Run

You don’t want just anybody coming into hour home and fiddling with the equipment that keeps you and your family comfortable and safe. Obtaining an unrealistically inexpensive price quote from someone who doesn’t know what they’re doing will end up costing you substantially in the future, in terms of

  1. lost comfort,
  2. frequent breakdowns and/or higher energy costs and
  3. even indoor air quality.

Those extra costs will quickly eliminate whatever cost benefit you thought you were getting.

HVAC Contractors Should Meet These Standards

  • Behave and look professional. An HVAC technician who looks and plays the part has a better chance of competently and reliably fixing, maintaining or installing your heating or cooling system than one who doesn’t. However, this is just one standard you should apply. It’s not one you should base your decision on solely, since sometimes incompetence and unprofessionalism can look like anything but.
  • Check the HVAC business’s references and professional rankings. Ask friends, coworkers and neighbors for recommendations. Look at testimonials on the contractor’s website. Make sure the business’s technicians have proper certifications in the heating and cooling field, including NATE (North American Technician Excellence).
  • If the technician wants to install a furnace, heat pump or AC in your home, make sure they explain the process carefully and comprehensively. If they recommend a certain size or capacity for your new system without conducting a heating or cooling load calculation, try another contractor.

Systems that are under-sized or over-sized may result in a variety of negative issues, including energy waste, poor performance, stress on components, and/or uneven heating or cooling. Avoid contractors who employ guesswork or simple calculations to recommend the right capacity for your home.

  • If the HVAC contractor tries to give you an estimate for major AC or heater repair or installation over the phone, try a different contractor. A quality heating/cooling service person will want to come to your home, talk to you about your energy habits and comfort expectations, and inspect your heating and cooling system and how it works inside your home.
  • Until the Covid-19 pandemic has finally ended, you’ll be wise to make sure that anyone coming into your home is practicing safe methods to prevent infection. If they’re not wearing a mask, they should be happy to put one on if you request it.
