Facing an AC repair can be one of the most aggravating things to encounter as a homeowner. Not only does it mean you have a broken air conditioner and must be without a comfortable home for a period of time, but you have to find time to get it repaired. All Austin AC repair companies aren’t created equally either, so be sure to ask the right questions the next time you need an AC repair.
Do You Have Local References?
Heating and air conditioning equipment is a big investment and is critical to keeping a comfortable home. That’s why it’s so important to hear from local Austin residents about their AC repair experiences. Those same residents have been where you are and chose Strand Brothers Service Experts for a reason. While it can feel a little awkward chatting with someone you don’t know about AC repair, they can offer you an honest, unbiased opinion of the services they received.
Can You Provide a Detailed, Written Estimate?
It’s one thing to talk about AC repair costs on the phone, and quite another getting a thorough outline of what is to be completed and the cost associated with the work and parts included. Not only does it protect you as the consumer, but it also makes sure that the AC contractor is doing everything they’re supposed to. Having something to keep both parties in agreeance can be great, especially if something unexpected comes up on the day of your AC repair.
Are You Licensed, Bonded, and Insured?
When Strand Brothers Service Experts receives calls from potential customers asking these types of questions, we’re thrilled that our customers are doing such a deep background check. Verifying that we’re licensed (permitted to complete the work in Austin), bonded (financially backed by a bonding company in the instance of a claim being filed), and insured (to avoid you from being held liable should a worker be hurt) is what separates the true pros from the more shady air conditioning companies out there. A worthwhile AC repair company is more than willing to show proof of all of these so that everyone can be on the same page.
Of course, these aren’t the only questions that need to be asked when it comes time for AC repair, but at Strand Brothers Service Experts, we feel confident in using these as a starting place.
