Seems like it happens when you need it most, doesn't it?

Time for a call to the furnace repair man!
You're unsure who to phone, but you remember your friend telling you about the excellent encounter they had with their furnace repair service provider. Who was that they were chatting about? Hmmm... That's right, it was Patrick Heating and Cooling!
What to look for in your St. Louis furnace repair company:
First and foremost, you want someone you can trust. There are a number of ways to find a technician you can trust with your furnace maintenance.
Talk to a friend
Call the Better Business Bureau
Look on-line
We all know that discussing it with a friend is one of the best ways to find a honest service company. Your friends experience is a useful predictor of what you can expect. The problem is furnace repair is not a common occurrence (thank goodness for that) so you may not have any friends that have recent experience with a St. Louis furnace repair company.
You can phone the Better Business Bureau. That's a pretty good idea, but they're not going to recommend someone to you, they're only going to tell you who to avoid.
The next reasonable option is to look up 'furnace repair St Louis' in your preferred search engine. But Google's not going to make a recommendation for you either, however, many of your neighbors might! Take a look at a number of of the Web sites that appear in the Search Engine Results Page to see if they have any testimonials from other people that have used their services. Any reputable service company will probably have testimonials from customers they have done work for.
Naturally, no one is going to put bad reports on their Web site, so it pays to do a little more research before making your decision on a furnace repair company. Once you have narrowed your search down to a few service providers, go back to the search engine and enter the companies name and geographic location along with the word 'reviews' or 'testimonials'. For example
"Patrick Heating & Cooling St Louis reviews" or "Patrick Heating & Cooling St Louis testimonials"
Don't worry about capitalizing the words, the search results will be the same either way. You may end up back at their Web site again because there are no other reviews. That's OK because that means no one has written anything bad about them. You might find other reviews from a local or regional Web site that caters to locals in search of information about your region. It will be pretty apparent if the reviews are made up, or it they were done by genuine people that really cared about the service they got.
Don't put it off, start searching now for your St. Louis furnace repair company before the icicles start forming on your eyebrows!
