Keep an Eye Out for These 5 HVAC Contractor Red Flags

Choosing the right HVAC contractor is crucial for maintaining the comfort and safety of your home. With so many options available, it can be overwhelming to decide who to trust with your heating and cooling needs. In this blog post, we outline five red flags to watch out for when searching for a reliable and professional HVAC contractor.

1. Lack of Proper Licensing and Insurance

Ensure that any HVAC repair and replacement contractor you’re considering has the proper licensing and insurance coverage required in your area. This protects you as a homeowner and ensures the technician is qualified to perform the necessary work on your system.

2. High-Pressure Sales Tactics

Some contractors might use high-pressure sales tactics to push you into making a decision on the spot. Remember, it’s okay to take your time when choosing a contractor. Don’t let anyone rush you into making a decision you might regret later.

3. Unusually Low or High Quotes

When comparing quotes from potential contractors, be cautious of those that are significantly lower or higher than the others. This could signal unprofessionalism, inexperience, or a lack of understanding of the project’s scope. It’s essential to weigh factors like experience and reputation alongside the price.

4. Negative Reviews and Complaints

While it’s normal for businesses to receive occasional negative feedback, a pattern of unresolved complaints and negative reviews could indicate a lack of professionalism. Do some research on potential contractors to ensure you’re hiring someone with a strong track record and positive reputation.

5. Unwillingness to Provide References

Reputable HVAC replacement contractors should be more than willing to provide references. If a contractor hesitates or refuses to share references, it could signal that they’re hiding something or have a history of unsatisfactory work.

When it comes to heating and air conditioning repair and replacement, count on our expert technicians at Stone Heating and Air in Central Point, OR. Call (541) 855-5521 or send an online message to get started.

We had our AC go out on one of the hottest days of the year. We called as soon as they opened and they came out so quickly and offered us some loaner units to keep our babies and animals cool in the meantime. Matt was so helpful and fixed the problem quickly. He went above and beyond to help us and we will be using Stone Heating and Air to replace our unit when it’s time. They’ll be our first call in the future!
