Steps for Choosing Geothermal Installation Contractor:

 

When selecting an HVAC/Geothermal installation contractor, homeowners in the Collingwood area should consider the following recommended practices:

  1. Research and compare different contractors: It is important to compare the services and prices offered by different contractors to ensure that you are getting the best value for your money. You can research contractors online, read customer reviews, and ask for recommendations from friends and family.

  2. Ask for proof of licensing and insurance: HVAC contractors in Ontario are required to be licensed and insured. Before hiring a contractor, be sure to ask for proof of licensing and insurance to protect yourself and your property.

  3. Request references and check them: A reputable contractor should be able to provide references from previous customers who are satisfied with their work. Be sure to contact these references and ask about their experience with the contractor. Contractors may be new in their business, but new businesses doesn’t necessarily mean lack of experience. Many new businesses are built off of years of industry experience, with a shortage of skilled labour and a backlog of work in the marketplace, the industry needs new businesses. 

  4. Ask if the contractor is part of any trade organizations or associations related to the work they are doing. Examples of this in Ontario would be HRAI (Heating, Refrigeration & Air Conditioning Institute), The Ontario Geothermal Association (OGA), and IGSHPA (International Ground Source Heat Pump Association). 

By following these recommended practices, homeowners in the Collingwood area can ensure that they choose a reputable and experienced HVAC installation contractor who will provide high-quality services and value for their money.
