When it comes to buying an air conditioner, make sure to purchase one that suits
your needs. Also, air conditioners need to meet energy requirements.
When meeting with a contractor, ask them about their business. Find out how long
they have been around. See if they will give you references so that you can ask
about their previous work.
"You want to make sure the company is licensed and properly insured. Make sure
that the guys who are going to be working in your home are drug free, don’t have
a criminal record, are clean, neat and polite.
"It’s an indication of what the company is like," said Clarence Neal, owner of
Neal Air & Heat, Inc.
One of the most important things that a contractor can give is a warranty.
"You need to look at the warranties. Is the warranty in writing? A written warranty
is one thing they should provide," Neal said.Make sure to ask about the company.
A contractor shouldn’t hesitate to let you know about their business.
"For instance, find out how long they’ve been in business. Are they part of the
Better Business Bureau (BBB)? Are they in good standing with the BBB?," Neal said.
"Those are some of the things to look for." According to Neal, it’s also important
to make sure to find a company that offers you choices.
"We offer four of the most prestigious brands in the business: American Standard,
York, Lennox, and Bryant among others. All of these companies set rigorous qualifications
for the companies who carry their brands and won’t let just anyone sell their
products," he said.
