Here in Chicago, there are hundreds of contractors available to work on the heating and cooling system in your home or business. How can you ensure that you hire the best one for the job?
One of the important things to look for is whether or not your contractor employs technicians that hold a NATE certification in the field. NATE, or North American Technician Excellence Inc., is the nation’s leading non-profit certification program for the HVAC and refrigeration industry and the only test supported by the entire industry. Technicians who receive their NATE certification must pass rigorous tests that cover both general HVAC issues such as installation, construction, safety and proper equipment, as well as specific HVAC systems, like air conditioning units, heat pumps or gas heating systems.
Hiring a contractor with NATE certified technicians to complete your HVAC work means that you have a highly trained professional on the job. You’ll have peace of mind that:
- Your heating and cooling system has been properly installed and maintained by an industry-certified technician.
- Your system is running at peak performance and efficiency.
- You’ve saved time and money by avoiding the problems that come with hiring an unqualified individual.
So the next time you are in the market for an HVAC contractor, make sure that you hire one with technicians that are NATE certified. You’ll have a well-trained and experienced professional working on the job. The expert technicians at Ibbotson Heating Co. are NATE certified technicians. Give the office a call today to learn more.
