Mistake 2

 

You Think All Contractors Are The Same.

Every contractor is different. No two contractors are really the same. Every contractor has different equipment and different employees who know how to do certain kinds of jobs well. Every company has a different number of employees, each with different abilities.

Contracting is art and craftsmanship combined. Most people who hire contractors don't truly understand that despite all the technological advances, contractors still use the same quality work habits as twenty years ago.

Contrary to what a lot of people think, heating and cooling is not just banging on the furnace, changing filters or recharging air conditioners. It takes craftsmanship to turn out quality work. Contractors have to diagnose, measure and perform complicated calculations before they can start a job.

Communication is the key to picking the best contractor for YOU.

bulletAsk what type of work they do.
bulletAsk what their average turnaround time is.
bulletAsk if they work weekends.
bulletAsk any other questions that are unique to your needs.

This will help you decide whether they are the best contractor for YOU!

After you ask your questions, it will become pretty obvious which company you should choose. The company that wants your business will prove to you they are the best contractor to do your work. Take your time to decide which contractor you would like to use -- but when you decide, you must be loyal to them (See Mistake #3).
