Thinking about installing a commercial air conditioning unit at your Melbourne business, but don’t know where to start? Perhaps your existing air conditioner is not performing properly and you are looking to get it repaired? With hundreds of air conditioning contractors to choose from, it can be hard to find a reputable one that you can rely on. Not only do you want a contractor that can provide a seamless installation or repair, you’re also looking to receive a system that will deliver comfort, save on energy use and costs, and last for years.
To help you choose the best air conditioning contractor for the job, here are some tips on the qualities to look for in a reputable contractor.
1.) Honesty – Commercial HVAC systems are complex and repairs can be time consuming. When you encounter a problem, you’d want to understand what went wrong and how exactly the problem will be rectified. You also want to feel confident that your technician will use the right resources to carry out a successful repair. Honesty on the job means that your technician can explain how and why your system isn’t working. It means that they will repair your unit efficiently and charge you a fair rate for the task at hand.
2.) Communication – A good contractor values customer satisfaction and is committed to providing the best customer service. That’s why you should expect him to ask lots of questions so that he may find the root of the problem. Questions like: which areas have been hard to heat or cool? What the air quality is like (is it too dry or too humid)? How the old system worked (or didn’t work)? And what you are looking for in a new system? Furthermore, he should have the ability to explain why your system is malfunctioning and how to prevent problems from occurring in the future. Your contractor should be providing information in a friendly and professional manner, creating a trusting relationship while giving you a peace of mind.
3.) Experience – Your contractor should have at least 4 years of work experience as well as being fully qualified and certified. Experience is crucial as it means that your contractor is able to identify and fix problems with expertise, or that they can install your new systems efficiently. They will be up to date on all the new technologies and latest equipment, ensuring that you receive the best system and that any malfunctions are fixed in the best methods possible.
