Sometimes, you just have to listen to your instincts, particularly when they’re telling you that something isn’t right. If you call in a repairman to perform AC maintenance on your system and the alarm bells sound in your head, you should listen. This is when you want smart Las Vegas AC repair solutions and the reassurance that the issue will be resolved once and for all.
Licensed and Insured
You want to make sure that the person you are about to let into your home is who they claim to be. Confirm that they have the right certification to perform the job, are licensed to practice in Las Vegas, and carry insurance that would cover them should there be an accident. Don’t be hasty in letting anyone start working on an expensive piece of equipment before verifying their credentials.
Parts to Be Replaced
Have the technician explain to you the pieces they are expecting to replace in your unit and why they consider these replacements necessary. Never quietly accept a mile-long list of parts. Ask for explanations. If the answers do not leave you satisfied, look for a different professional.
Issues With the Refrigerant
One common scam is when the technician insists that you need to have the refrigerant “topped off” for the unit to work properly. When you hear this, you should take it as a red flag. The refrigerant runs in a closed loop that goes from the outside compressor to the indoor evaporator unit. There is no need to add to it unless you can see a leak. Do not allow them to charge you for something that you do not need.
Low Estimates
Even though the technician might have provided you with a written estimate, you may discover that by going with the technician who gave you the lowest quote, you are now faced with a slew of “unexpected” expenses to fix previously undiagnosed problems. Beware of recommendations for a full unit replacement when you know the equipment is not that old.
Choose an Established Company
An established AC company will reassure you that they’re sending a qualified, experienced, and insured technician. You will also have a company that will stand behind the repair and will be easy to reach again in the future should the issue reappear. They will likely offer you a guarantee for the labor and may even include one for the parts used.
