Red flags with HVAC companies

Be cautious if you notice any of these.

  • The technician starts work before giving a price.
  • You are told you need a whole new system without a clear written diagnosis.
  • They refuse to show you the failed part.
  • They add refrigerant again and again without looking for the leak.
  • They push you to sign a large contract on the spot.
  • They cannot give a license number when your area requires one.
  • The price changes after the work is done with no explanation.
