A Yardstick for Judging a

Heating / Air Conditioning Contractor

Want to make a heating and air conditioning contractor sweat, even in the dead of winter? Show them this list. It contains thirteen features of every Air Comfort Systems installation, and it’s a good yardstick for judging the professionalism of any contractor. Before you buy, make sure your choice measures up. Ask the following questions, each of which an Air Comfort installer can confidently answer with a positive nod of the head.

OOOOO	How Does Your Contractor "Measure Up?"
o	Do you provide a detailed written quote for the complete job in advance, so there are no costly “surprises?”
o	Do you guarantee your furnace’s performance in writing? (Air Comfort Systems’ written guarantee states specific temperature goals the system will achieve, or they’ll fix the problem at no charge.)
o	Are your service people factory trained on all the units they repair?
o	Are you registered with the State of Wisconsin as Master Electricians, able to safely and legally perform the electrical tasks of an installation?
o	Do you obtain all necessary permits, so the job is strictly legal?
o	Do you offer more than one brand of furnace?
o	Are working models of the brands on display in your showroom? .Do you even have a showroom?
o	Do you remove and recycle old furnaces and air conditioners?
o	Do you clean up carefully when work is finished?
o	Are your repair trucks large enough to stock a full supply of the spare parts you need?
o	Do you have a mobile sheet metal shop, to re-craft any ductwork an installation might require?
o	Do you inform your customers about equipment recalls?
o	Will you perform the service required, even years after the sale?

If you can see beads of sweat collecting on your contractor’s forehead, when you ask him some of these questions, it’s time to ask Air Comfort Systems for a competitive quote. Simply call us at 778-4180. We’ll provide a price that meets any benchmark -- and service that fully measures up!
