Is Your Home Ready for Summer?

by Kevin Smith Author

Right now, the air temperature is toying with us. One warm day is followed by a cool one. But soon, the fluctuations in temperature will end and we'll have one blistering hot day after another. While there are still enough cool days to be bearable without a working home air conditioning system, now is the time to get the professionals in to give your system a check, perform regular maintenance, or upgrade your system. It's a good time to spend a few hours checking into companies in your area, read their reviews, check their credentials, and make sure they're a good fit before you hire a company to provide air condition service in Milton, GA.

What to Look For

Look for a company who offers a full range of services, from simple maintenance to design and installation of a new system. They should also offer emergency services on a 24/7 basis, since it's almost a guarantee that your system will fail during the hottest day of summer, or at nighttime.
The company should have a staff of master plumbers and certified technicians with years of service and should be able to show you proof of their certifications.
In addition to the company being licensed, bonded, and insured, they should also be members of the local Better Business Bureau (BBB) and professional organizations, such as the Air Conditioning Contractors of America (ACCA) or the Air Conditioning and Refrigeration Institute (ARI), who offer training, certifications, and are responsible for keeping their members informed on the latest developments in the industry.
Read the testimonials from customers on the company's website, but don't stop there. Investigate the company's information on unbiased websites such as Angie's List or Home Advisor to get a true understanding of the company.
Use a service like Home Pro to compare the cost of various jobs by companies in the area.
If you're going to consider an upgrade to your current system to a more energy efficient one, the technician should be able to assess your home's needs and offer the best fit. They may be able to use the existing ductwork to cut down on the cost of a new system.
You want a company who offers a maintenance package program in order to keep your system operating at its peak performance.
