During our Okanagan summer, things heat up and equipment problems might show up. We’re sure you’ll agree that looking forward to a glass of chardonnay after work is what the summer should be about. This isn’t the time for you to have to focus on an air conditioner malfunction!

Cooling Off in the South Okanagan

We have some recommendations for you! First, check out the Back Door Winery in Summerland’s afternoon of blues and jazz on July 9 – featuring Black Cat Soul. This is a great time to kick back with friends, clients, or with your significant other on a Saturday afternoon at Back Door’s Summerland vineyard.
While relaxing, you might be pondering a new air conditioner or heat pump! How do you find a great HVAC contractor you can trust?

Our Advice When Hiring an HVAC Company

#1 Vetting — whether hiring for a sudden A/C repair or upgrading your heating system, find out who’s good by asking friends, a landlord, or reading lots of reviews.

#2 On-Site Visit —a quality contractor wants to build a long-term relationship with you and your home or business. They’ll see your equipment firsthand, and you can ask questions and see how knowledgeable they really are.

#3 Written Quote — don’t jump into a job – even maintenance – without a quote. A reliable contractor should always assess the situation and give you their findings in writing.

#4 Ask Questions — how long has the HVAC firm been in business? Do they have customer referrals to offer you? Check out their website and look online for past customer comments.

#5 Contractor Insurance — before they touch your equipment, ask for their insurance certificate. They need to have liability, WorkSafeBC, and property damage coverage in place.
