Why Bargain HVAC Repairs Actually Cost More

Everyone loves a bargain, which is why cheap HVAC repairs can seem so tempting. Especially since those who aren’t familiar with the intricacies of HVAC systems aren’t aware that not all contractors deliver the same service. It may surprise you to know that some companies are actually in the business of purposefully hooking customers with a cheap price, only to squeeze more money out of them in the long run.

The Realities of Cheap HVAC Repairs

Companies that repair HVAC systems for bargain prices often employ certain tactics. They may install parts that are noisier, hazardous, less efficient, unnecessary, more prone to breaking down or simply don’t work right. Many of these companies employ workers who don’t have the proper training, and they thus install parts incorrectly. The incorrect installation can be very minimal but still cause major damage down the line. When parts don’t work right, your HVAC system can break down more quickly, increase your energy bill and succumb further damage that takes more money to fix.

How Bargain HVAC Companies Gouge Their Customers

The worst companies actually install things incorrectly on purpose in order to receive another service call. They may give you false information about how long certain parts are supposed to last, so you won’t know that the part you already paid for shouldn’t already be faulty. These companies also try to sell you services and repairs after the initial estimate. Generally, these repairs aren’t needed, but the company will insist that they need to be handled immediately.

How to Find a Reputable HVAC Company

Fortunately, not all HVAC companies try to take advantage of their customers. To find a dependable company, check each of the following:

  • Research customer reviews
  • Find out how long they’ve been in business
  • Ask if they are a factory-authorized dealer
  • Make sure their employees are drug tested and background checked
  • Insist on licensed technicians who are trained weekly

Once you’ve found an HVAC company you can trust, the extra money you spend on initial repairs can save you money down the line. Quality contractors offer exceptional service that is worth every penny.
