Stacy moved into a new area where she knew no one. Her first worry was getting comfortable in her new space. Being an introvert, she was sure making friends would not be a major concern. However, she needed the heating unit to work perfectly because she would be spending most of the time indoors. It was winter and comfort was a priority for her. She decided to invest in a portable heater but that didn’t work. When she talked to me, I advised her to hire an HVAC professional to check her HVAC unit. First, she went online to see the recommended HVAC professionals in her area. A few HVAC companies were recommended but she still wanted the best. She checked out online reviews to see what other customers had to say about the service providers. This helped her narrow down her list and left her with a few HVAC technicians to interview. She organized for an interview and ended up with two local HVAC contractors. After that, she asked them to provide samples for their work and also prove that they were certified to handle the repairs and HVAC services. This is how she managed to pick the best contractor. It was also important for her to find a company that handled all types of HVAC repairs. Additionally, she needed to hire a company that sold the HVAC parts and components. Fortunately for her, the HVAC business she settled on sold all types of HVAC equipment in addition to providing the repair services she needed. It also offered regular maintenance services and was licensed which meant that Stacy would never have to worry about liabilities in case of accidents.
