Facing an AC repair can be one of the most annoying things to encounter as a homeowner. Not only does it mean you have a broken air conditioner and must do without a comfortable home for a period of time, but you need to find time to get it fixed. All Columbia AC repair companies aren’t created equally either, so be sure to ask the right questions the next time you need an AC repair.
Do You Have Local References?
Heating and air conditioning equipment is a big investment and is critical to keeping a comfortable home. That’s why it’s so important to hear from local Columbia residents about their AC repair experiences. Those same consumers have been where you are and went with Midland Air Service Experts for a reason. While it can feel a little strange chatting with someone you don’t know about AC repair, they can offer you an truthful, unbiased opinion of the services they had completed.
Can You Provide a Detailed, Written Estimate?
It’s one thing to talk AC repair costs on the phone, and quite another receiving a comprehensive outline of what is to be completed and the cost that goes with the work and parts included. Not only does it guard you as the consumer, but it also makes certain that the AC contractor is doing everything they’re supposed to. Having something to keep both parties accountable can be great, especially if something unexpected comes up on the day of your AC repair.
Are You Licensed, Bonded, and Insured?
When Midland Air Service Experts gets calls from potential customers asking these types of questions, we’re ecstatic that our customers are doing such a deep background check. Confirming that we’re licensed (permitted to perform the work in Columbia), bonded (financially backed by a bonding company in the result of a claim being filed), and insured (to avoid you from being held liable should a worker be hurt) is what separates the true professionals from the more shady air conditioning companies out there. A worthwhile AC repair company is more than willing to offer proof of all of these so that everyone can feel at ease.
Of course, these aren’t the only questions that need to be asked when it comes time for AC repair, but at Midland Air Service Experts, we feel confident in using these as a starting place.
