When your HVAC system stops working how it should, a repair or replacement is inevitable. This might seem like a hassle, but with the right company a furnace can be replaced in no time. Having a reputable source replace that system is crucial, but how do you know when a second opinion is needed?
The Cost Seems Excessive or Too Good to Be True
Excessive costs can mean completely different things to different people. You likely have an estimated cost for the repair or replacement, but if the estimate extremely exceeds your budget, a second opinion may be needed. On the other hand, if the cost seems too good to be true, it most likely is. A good technician will have no problem giving you an upfront, no-hidden-costs quote. Keep these tips in mind and your wallet will thank you!
You Don’t Have a History with the Service Provider
Trusting someone you’ve never met before with your home and money can be nerve wracking to say the least. If you find yourself in need of services from a provider you’ve never used before, it can’t hurt to get a second opinion. Only trust businesses with positive feedback and extensive experience. By doing your research, you’ll be able to work with an honest, experienced provider who knows what they’re doing.
The Repair or Replacement Doesn’t Fit The Problem
If you’ve had a unit in your home for 10 years and a technician suddenly says the unit needs a new part, it’s probably worth getting a second opinion to ensure that is actually the case. Technology changes and new components can become required, but often providers will try to up-sell. For major decisions such as full unit replacements, getting another set of eyes on it can be worthwhile to make sure you’re making the best and most informed decision for you. That’s especially true if you aren’t expecting your system to be toward the end of its useful life and the recommendation toward replacement has come as a bit of a surprise.
