How to choose your air conditioning contractor ?
Tips
One of the most important criteria when choosing a contractor to replace yours air conditioning system is making sure they have the appropriate State licenses and insurance.
There are three reasons why licenses and insurance are important.
- First The massive losses of millions of dollars in personal assets when uninsured businesses make big mistakes in project execution.
- Secondly Consumers are vulnerable to claims against their homeowners policies when contractors do not carry adequate workers' compensation insurance (Yes, you are responsible).
- Third place State licensing programs help establish a basic level of knowledge and performance within the air conditioning field. If a contractor cannot produce a license, they are not qualified to work on your home.
Do not contract for air conditioning repair, air conditioning installation or air conditioning maintenance to unqualified personnel exposing your property and your family to unnecessary risks

Dirty coils can lead to:
- Increased operating temperatures. Excess buildup of dirt and debris can cause undue stress on the system, causing fans and compressors to work harder and at increased operating temperatures to achieve the desired indoor comfort.
- Reduced comfort. Your air conditioning system helps remove unwanted and uncomfortable humidity from your home as a natural part of the cooling process. Dirty coils can reduce overall system effectiveness, causing higher humidity inside and less overall comfort.
- Decreased cooling efficiency. The buildup that accumulates on the surface of the coils forces them to work harder to either absorb or release heat, resulting in less efficient operation.
- Increased cooling costs. Less efficient operation means higher operating costs. Dirty coils mean spending more money keeping your space cool.
- Increased system wear. A blocked evaporator coil often causes the compressor to run at increased temperatures, placing stress on the entire system. Because the compressor is one of the highest-cost replacement items within the air conditioning system, protecting the compressor can help you avoid expensive repair bills.
