April 27, 2017

At Kohles & Bach Heating & Cooling, we understand selecting a company to provide HVAC installation and service in Des Moines is a big deal. When it comes to your home comfort, you shouldn’t have to give anything up. You want excellent service from a dependable company. Before you make a decision, we have suggestions for what to search for in the company that will be taking care of your heating and cooling service.

Do some research. Don’t forget to gather some information before you start hunting for a company. Take a look at your current system and take some notes on maintenance history, past issues and its model. You should also investigate the license and insurance requirements for heating and air conditioning service providers in Des Moines.

Get personal recommendations. Ask around to see if your friends, family and co-workers have any suggestions. Knowing someone had a great history with a company can be a valuable way to know what their service is like.

Get proposals from multiple companies. Get the itemized estimates in writing so you can study the different cost, energy efficient and warranty information. You also need see referrals from current customers. One company may give the best prices, but it may not really be the best value. Think about how these factors will affect your home comfort in the future before you choose.

Plan on a detailed home evaluation. Never give your business to a who tells you a quote over the phone for a new or replacement system without looking at your home. A good heating and air condition company will go through examination of your house and your current system to understand your needs and the best system to meet them.

First impressions matter. You should take special interest in your first meeting with any contractor that surveys your home. Make sure they are professional, friendly and punctual. You’re going to work with this company to keep your home comfortable year-round. If they don’t make a good first impression, you may want to select another company.

Don’t take anything less than the best when picking a heating and cooling company. This list should help keep you on track.
