Learn How To Find The Best Resource For Hvac Contractors In Dallas?
Trying to find a great heating and air conditioning contractor in Dallas can be very difficult
. After all there are only about 15,000 choices.. And then you wonder why there are so many horror stories when you find that only about 5% of those contractors are the ones you want to be dealing with any way.
So how do you choose the right one? There are many resources out there that claim to have the answer. But what you should do is understand the benefits and the downsides to each of these resources.
Dallas BBB - great reliable resource. It is free to consumers to use and has a good reputation for being an honest resource. Downside is that they don't always accurately represent the size of the companies when it comes to the number of complaints that are filed. Which would you choose.... company "A" with 3 complaints with 2 employees and 20 home visits or company "B" with 20 complaints with over 100 employees and makes over 800 home visits....
AngiesList - great source as well. Although consumers have to pay it does provide a lot of great recommendations of companies. Downside is that over the last year or so they have made a tremendous effort in expanding there company.. so contractors are paying to be on the list.. or at least advertised highly on the list..
Best of Directories in the DFW area - There are hundreds of these things poping up every year. If they have good information about local contractors then all the better. Usually they have info both in a print directory and an online verision
Personal Referrals - This is buy far one of the most preferred methods and with social media outlets like facebook and google+, information is exchanged even faster with more detail. Gotta love technology!
SO WHAT ELSE??
Just understand that the best of the best have been doing business for a while and have a reputation for making things right for there customers. After 10 years of being in business it is not likely that every customer has a job done without any hiccups. A big bonus for everyone that I know is simply being available when you need it. With heating and air conditioning you could need it at any time so 24 hour availability is king! Beware though.... only about .5% of companies have a true 24 hour service that utilizes company employees that are working around the clock.
