Hiring a new commercial HVAC company can be tough. Finding companies in your area may be simple enough, thanks to the internet and local directories, but once that is done, it can be challenging to cut through the marketing and sales and work out which company will offer the best service and quality.
At Julian Heat & Air, we take the problems with your HVAC Searcy, AR seriously and provide the best solutions available at a price you can afford.
What To Look For in an HVAC Company
We know a thing or two about quality services for your HVAC Searcy, AR, so we can offer some insight into what you should be looking for.
Healthy Financials
While not all service contractors will be willing to let you look at their financials, there are options to check the overall financial health of a contractor. Be wary of any contractor who is unable to supply sound credit references from major vendors and suppliers. Of course, any company in serious financial trouble is a risky choice as your HVAC provider, so proceed with caution if something negative turns up.
Product Line
When it comes to commercial HVAC companies and their product lines, more is more. The ideal contractor to service your HVAC Searcy, AR will carry or install a wide variety of products and equipment, and have established relationships with big name manufacturers. Be cautious of companies who try to sell you lesser-known equipment or only offer a few product lines. Ideally, your contractor will be brand agnostic and have the buying power to select the right HVAC equipment for your application.
Knowledgeable Sales Teams
The best commercial HVAC companies have skilled, highly knowledgeable sales teams made up of technical specialists with strong engineering backgrounds. Their teams can assist with problem solving and system design and they have many years’ experience, whether in the field or in HVAC design and sales.
Highly Trained Technicians
Great HVAC companies hire great people, who are already well trained, and then they give them more training. You want to find a company that is committed to keeping their technical team up to date with industry trends, equipment, certifications, licenses, and installation methods. Ask to see resumes and to meet with their field service management team to ensure the company you’re looking to hire has the depth of expertise needed to properly service your equipment.
Fully Compliant
In order to operate as an HVAC contractor, particularly in the commercial and industrial sector, HVAC companies need to have a variety of licenses. Ask to see the credentials of companies you are considering, and eliminate any that do not make the cut. Do not forget about insurance either. Contractors are required to carry a variety of insurances if they do onsite installations of HVAC Searcy, AR, and you want to be sure that you are legally covered.
Affiliations and Awards
Most good HVAC companies will be affiliated with industry bodies, and they may have won industry-related awards. It is worth finding out where your shortlisted contractors are affiliated and whether their work is recognized by independent 3rd party or trade industry affiliated organizations. This can help create a detailed picture of each company and provide references from peers and colleagues, which can be helpful.
Reputation and Price
Probably the most often over-used and wrong yardstick is comparing the labor rates of service contractors. This metric typically runs inverse to the technician’s expertise you may have on your site, risking increased operating expenses for service repairs.
