1. Are you licensed and insured?

It's important to ensure that your air conditioning installer is licensed and insured. This protects you in the event of any accidents or damages that may occur during the AC installation process. 

2. How long have you been in business?

Experience is essential when it comes to installing new home comfort systems. You’ll want a company with a proven track record. For example, Bob’s Heating & Air Conditioning dates back to 1957. With our extensive history, we’ve come to know our customers’ needs and desires, and we strive to provide excellent AC services and systems. We do that by training our team extensively and investing in high-quality equipment for our clients.

3. Can you provide references?

Ask your AC installion professional to provide references and testimonials from previous customers. This can give you an idea of their level of customer service and the quality of their work. Bob’s has a roster of tens of thousands of residents in the region who are highly satisfied with our work, and you can even check Google Reviews before you decide to reach out to a specific company.

4. What is your AC installation process?

Ask your AC install team to explain their process. This can help you understand what to expect before, during, and after the project. Keeping the project on budget, on time, and in sync with other contractors is essential for any AC installations Bob’s Heating & Air Conditioning conducts. 

5. What is your warranty policy?

Ensure that your air conditioner installer offers a warranty on their work. This provides peace of mind if anything goes wrong with the installation. Plus, consider a company that offers maintenance plans! With Bob’s Guardian Maintenance Plans, you can rest easy knowing you’re in good hands from when we first meet until long after we leave your home.
