If you own a home or business complete with an HVAC (heating, ventilation, and air conditioning) system, you need a qualified and experienced HVAC professional that you can count on. Air conditioners and furnaces break down and need to be repaired. Old systems eventually have to be replaced. It is wise to have a go-to heating and cooling expert to call if something does go wrong. If your system breaks down unexpectedly, you don’t want to be scrambling to find a good repair technician at the last minute. If you call the wrong company out of desperation, you may end up paying too much or get second-rate repairs. You need to have a reliable Charlotte HVAC contractor you can call day or night, or better yet, sign up for a regular maintenance plan with the heating and cooling specialist of your choice.

Heating and air conditioning companies provide:

• Repairs. If your system breaks down or isn’t working properly, an furnace and cooling specialist can properly repair your HVAC system.
• Replacement. If your central air system is very old or if it breaks down and cannot be fixed or costs too much to fix, an AC and heating repair company can replace it for you.
• Installation. When you need an heating and cooling system installed for the first time in a new or existing home, a Charlotte air conditioning repair professional will install a new system and the accompanying ductwork correctly.
• Maintenance. It is wise to have a HVAC maintenance plan that includes routine maintenance on your system once or twice a year. This keeps your system running efficiently and reduces the chance of a breakdown.
• Carbon monoxide management. Carbon Monoxide (CO) poisoning is extremely dangerous and unfortunately way too common. Furnaces create carbon monoxide when they burn fuel to create heat. If the system is not in proper condition it may create too much CO and fail to vent it outside of the home as it should. Routine maintenance can help to prevent this. CO detectors should also be installed in your home to alert you if CO levels get too high.

What to look for in a Charlotte HVAC company:

• Licensing. All professional HVAC companies have to be licensed in the state where they conduct business. Licensure means they have passed testing and other requirements to prove their heating and air conditioning knowledge. You can check a company’s licensure online here, or ask them to provide you with proof.
• Good reviews. Read reviews of the company’s customer service. Angie’s List and Yelp are both good Internet resources. You can also check a company’s status with the Better Business Bureau.
• Experience. Find out how long the company has been in business. You’ll want a company with at least a two or three years of experience.
