Picture this: It’s one of those days where the sun is acting like a teenager in July–unapologetically intense and slightly unbearable. After returning home, you expected to feel the cooling embrace of your AC. However, instead there was a standoff between furnace and A/C. Air conditioning is no longer working, leaving you in an uncomfortable situation. What is a human supposed to do in this situation? You’re right. Contact your local Heating & Cooling contractor.

It’s a gamble to find the right HVAC contractor. The perfect avocado is rare and difficult to find, but sweetly rewarding when it does. “What do I need to look for?” you might ask. Why don’t we explore it?

Credentials are the first thing to consider. As you would expect your pilot to be able to fly before getting on a flight, so too should you want to make sure that the HVAC contractor you hire is familiar with their tool kit. You should check for certifications and licenses. All things are taught by experience. Knowing the differences between fan blades, bladesmiths’ blades and thermostats is a skill that can be learned over time.

Reputation is next. You’ve probably heard the term “reputation” before. It’s important. You can find treasures by using online reviews or word of mouth recommendations. Explore the reviews on Yelp or Angie’s List. Or, explore Google’s labyrinth. You can check out Mike, the HVAC guy if your neighbors are singing his praises. Attention! You should run for the hills when you hear more complaints from a class of kindergarteners on broccoli day.

A third cornerstone of success is effective communication. Contractors who are able to talk the talking and do the walking without leaving the client in the dust should be your first choice. Talk to them and find out if there’s more than jargon. HVAC is not supposed to sound like a complex, incantatory wizardry. This should be like having a coffee with a friend.

Money is not to be forgotten. You should ask for a price and ensure that it is itemized. No one likes surprises – unless they’re a surprise pizza delivery. You can compare prices, but don’t forget that cheap isn’t always best. Price and quality should be in harmony, like peanut butter with jelly.

HVAC warranties and maintenance are often overlooked. Two years have passed and you’re still having HVAC problems. Do you feel protected by your contract? Make sure the warranty stands up. It’s important that the warranty is more reliable than a light bulb.

You may be environmentally aware (congrats!). You can ask your agent about the energy-efficiency of the system. Today’s market has systems that are silent and efficient like sleek Ninjas. Mother Nature, your wallet, and even a possible parade will all thank you.

Here, I hope, is a picture that’s both lighthearted and vivid of what we can expect. HVAC may appear intimidating, but the key is to find the right person who has the appropriate skill set. The HVAC industry is a lot like dating, only with less candlelight dinners and more screws. If you keep your cool, you will emerge in an oasis of comfort, like the spot where ice cream meets chocolate cake. You can always rely on good contractors to make your home the cool oasis you deserve, all without having to suffer through the entire journey. Have fun!
