Along with a good plumber and a good electrician, a homeowner needs to have an honest and reliable contractor to deal with any service or maintenance issues with your heating and cooling systems. There are plenty of HVAC companies but finding the right one that will provide you with excellent service for many years might take a little footwork. Here are a few things that you might want to consider when looking for a Chicago HVAC company.

Word of mouth:

It is difficult to promote an HVAC company, the services they provide are often intangible and hard to quantify in the yellow pages or newspaper. The best way to find a good company is through word of mouth; nothing beats a personal recommendation. When you are looking for a good company, one that you can rely on and trust, ask around. If you hear the same name time after time you can rest assured you have found the company you are looking for.

Insurance:

Once you think you have found a good Chicago HVAC company, don’t hesitate to question their insurance coverage. They should have adequate liability insurance in the event they damage something while on your property as well as workers comp for their employees.

Check with the local BBB:

You should always check with the local Better Business Bureau. The BBB will give you very good insight as to whether the contractor follows through on any complaints. Keep an open mind however, even the best companies will usually get a bad report every once in a while.

Emergency service:

Let’s face it, mechanical systems don’t always fail during normal working hours. Make sure the company offers after hour’s emergency service. The last thing you want to have happen to you in Chicago is to have your furnace fail on a bitter cold night. When you establish a relationship with a good Chicago HVAC company chances are you will move to the top of the list when you are faced with an emergency situation.
