How To Choose The Right Tradesman For The Job

This is as important if not more important than choosing the correct air conditioning system.

You see , getting the ducted air conditioning system installed is just the beginning of the exercise.

What you need to make sure of is that the tradesman is a genuine caring and skilled person that does not want to just grab your money and run.

You need to be confident that if there are any problems that he will stand behind his installation 200%

The way to ensure this is to ask him the following questions.

How long have you been in business?

Please show me three written testimonials that are recent with in the last 12 months)

If I have a problem with my ducted air conditioning how long will you take to come and fix it?

What will my maximum waiting period be if it breaksdown?

Now the reason I put that last question in to the mix is during summer even major compnies like Carrier find it difficult to keep up with demand. I have seen issues taking 4 - 6 weeks to resolve.

You want an undertaking that no matter what if your system breaksdown they will attend within 4 working days. This should be the maximum that you should have to wait. And get this in writing.

Finally ,and this is very important. The tradesman must have an ARC Tick license to do work on your air conditioning or you may void your warrnaty. This is so important.

If you follow these simple steps your ducted air conditioning experience will be wonderful and stress free.

Until Next time

Stay cool.
