Top Tips for Hiring a Commercial Heating & Cooling Contractor

Have heating, ventilation and/or air conditioning needs?
If you’re a business, you aren’t alone.
GC Home Services’s experts in installation and maintenance are here to help you so that you can stay focused on what your business needs to be focused on.
If you own a commercial building and need a new HVAC system installed or if you need your current system repaired, you want someone that understands the unique needs of your system.
Choosing a commercial HVAC expert that recognizes how sizing, installation, and maintenance are all very different for commercial HVAC systems than for residential systems is critical. Here are 3 other things to consider when selecting your commercial HVAC contractor.
1. If you’re in the market for a new system, ask their process for helping you choose a new system.
Hearing a potential HVAC contractor’s actual approach or process—even if just in general terms—can tell you a lot about their experience, expertise and approach. Commercial HVAC installation requires careful measurement of your building and its heating and cooling needs, as well as the selection of a system that fits your budget. There are many options on the market to choose from, including rooftop units, packaged air conditioners, and even geothermal systems, that allow you to extract heat from the ground.
You’re not asking them to make your specific recommendation necessarily; rather, you are looking to hear their approach and get insight into things such as expected timing, the brands they carry and recommend, how they view safety and efficiency, and even what they suggest in terms of maintenance, including if they have any maintenance programs you can enroll in.
2. Read the HVAC contractor’s online reviews.
You want a reputable, dependable HVAC company for your business. GC Home Services brings you the most trusted and conscientious heating and air conditioning service and installation team, and you want to be sure whatever HVAC you choose does as well.
Looking at an HVAC’s online reviews can tell you how they handle installs, how they approach service visits, and it can tell you a lot about the HVAC expert that will be showing up on your site. In general, it’s good to do research that includes looking at online reviews. We’re proud to have an entire section of our website dedicated to our customer testimonials. We also regularly get great reviews on Google+.
3. Don’t be afraid to ask about an HVAC’s expertise and experience.
One of the easiest steps you can take is asking what kind of experience and certifications your potential HVAC contractor has. If your business has any specific needs, you can also find out what kind of experience they have with your make and model, in combination with various kinds of systems. At GC Home Services, we take pride in being able to tell customers how we’ve served more than 25,000 families and businesses.
You’ll want a company that has the ability to work on every major brand of commercial HVAC equipment, and that’s part of where their breadth and depth of expertise will be important to know. Your HVAC should be able to explain to you how they can inspect and quickly repair whatever issues your current system is having, to reduce downtime and minimize cost. Being in business for more than 27 years, we have highly trained technicians that bring you expertise, but also great customer service support on every job.
If you’re looking for something specific, then be sure to also inquire about those specific services. If you ask a potential HVAC about their services, they should be able to easily speak to their offerings, including any certifications you should be aware of as well. For example, in addition to our HVAC installation, repair, and maintenance services, we offer design-build services to businesses. As a certified design build contractor, we can customize an HVAC system to meet the specific needs of your home or office.
