  Temperatures continue to creep up in Scottsboro, which means one thing – your AC is about to go in to full blown summer mode and run more often. That's why it's so important to plan ahead and have an AC repair technician identified if your air conditioner decides it's worked too much and breaks down.
  Of course it's not as basic as selecting a name and number out of a phone book like it used to be, and there are an abundance of companies out there that are looking to take advantage of your hardship. That's why Southern Heating & Cooling Inc. has put together a list of things to keep an eye out for in an AC repair technician.
  It might be hard to believe that there are contractors out there like this, but they exist. Not only does this put you in jeopardy of not having your AC repair completed, it can easily lead to shoddy work and a bunch of frustration if you have any trouble after the work is completed. Plain and simple, most trustworthy contractors will provide an estimate and will not make you pay before the work begins.
  If a contractor hasn't come out and checked your air conditioner to get the big picture of what is the issue with your system, how can you be 100 percent sure that they took care of the issue? Find someone who is willing to offer you an honest estimate after they come and inspect your air conditioner to fully recognize what the problem is. It can help you save money and time.
  Of course, not all states require licensure for HVAC contractors, but most do. Do a quick search online to see if your state requires a license so you know what you're asking for when searchin for a contractor. The benefit to living in a state that requires a license is that it guards you from using a contractor with less than skilled workers, and in the occasion you run in to an issue, you are able to report any issues with the work you received.
