What HVAC Companies in Calgary You Shouldn’t Hire!

 

1. A Poorly Reviewed HVAC Company

 

The reputation of a business in the form of company reviews is, in our opinion, the most crucial factor when choosing which HVAC company to work with.

Why is this the number one factor?

Well, because this 5-star rating system gives you the quickest and most honest feedback on how a company operates. Ask yourself, if you saw two pizza places and one had a 4.8 rating and the other had a 3.8, who would you choose? I hope you said the 4.8.

However, that begs the next big question: is the overall rating the most important? We think not. There are many other things to consider outside of the average rating of the HVAC companies themselves. For instance, the total number of reviews, the sentiment of the reviews more recently, and whether a company has undergone changes, such as new management, that could affect its current performance.

Read the Reviews

Next, read the good reviews, and more importantly, read the bad reviews. No company is perfect, but how a company handles negative feedback can show its character. If something isn’t quite right about your job, you should feel comfortable knowing they are willing to compromise and fix the issue.

Check Multiple Review Sites

Also, check more than one review website. Many companies can have a perfect rating on one website but poor reviews on others. We recommend doing your research across as many sites as possible. Look on Google, Facebook, Yelp, BBB, and HomeStars. This overall perspective should give you feedback on a company’s integrity.

2. A Company That Doesn’t Give You Prices or Guarantees in Writing

Every HVAC company in Calgary does its best to earn your business. In many cases, they offer promotional sales, included services, or extras with the furnace or air conditioning installation.

One thing to be sure of is that you have these deals written into your invoice or estimate. If you have never used the company before, it’s hard to know whether they will honor the verbal agreements between you and their salesperson in the final product. Transparency and trust are of utmost importance, and being sure everything is in writing can give you peace of mind about the services that are being offered.

3. Companies That Give You a Final Price Without Seeing the Job

 

It is completely normal for a furnace company to request an in-house visit to give you a price on your new installation of a furnace or air conditioner. Each home is unique and has its own set of requirements for the job to be completed successfully, so you should expect an in-house visit for a complete price.

Some companies may give rough prices over the phone, but it’s always best to have a home comfort advisor or estimator visit your home to give you that final HVAC system quote price. If a company gives you final prices on their HVAC services without seeing the requirements of the job, you may expect to see extras that come along with unforeseen events in the installation or repair.

4. HVAC Companies That Just Don’t Feel Right

 

If, after all of this, you still have not decided between a few great companies, we recommend just trusting your gut. Go with the company you feel will deliver on their promises, will be the best to work with in the future, and offers you the best package that suits your needs.

If a company has a great reputation with a great product to back it up, then at that point, your choice is just a matter of preference.
