By Bob Spike


You are ready to begin your search for an air conditioning contractor. Do you know where to begin? These tips will show you the path to finding a good air conditioning contractor.

Be resonable. Though this is a job you are paying someone else for, often issues arise. Expect some delays and the chance that the day will not always start and end the minute you want it to, but only within reason. If the air conditioning contractor agreed to your terms they should make all attempts to adhere to them.

Develop air conditioning contractor safety management guidelines if required. If your project has a risk to your air conditioning contractor's safety then it is essential that you develop up guidelines. Your air conditioning contractor's safety is your responsibility.

Require that they stop by your office everyday to keep you informed about the progress of the project, so they know that you have serious standards. Ensure that they can meet your aesthetic standards by examining their work samples thoroughly. Discuss what their priorities are and make sure they match your own.

Make sure that your air conditioning contractor is suitably qualified to undertake each task that is required. Different levels of insurance are required for different jobs. Ask your air conditioning contractor to prove that they have the insurance and licenses to undertake all work.

Divide tasks that your air conditioning contractor is working on based on priority. This will help your air conditioning contractor to understand what tasks need to be focused on first.

Know your own responsibilities. For example, are you responsible for providing tea or coffee or for taking down a fence. Understanding this upfront solves potential problems and conflicts.

Seek to understand your air conditioning contractors business as well. The more you understand about their business, the more you can match Scopes of Works to suit. This will result in a mutually beneficial relationship.

Ask about weekends. Does the air conditioning contractor work weekends to get the job done? Do weekend cost extra? Will the same people be working weekends as during the week? If not can you get a list of names.

The Labor and Industries board, also known as L&I, handles complaints about air conditioning contractors and manufactured homes. A quick call to this board can alert you to previous issues or reports on the given air conditioning contractor. One call may save trouble later on.

Understand the potential risks your project may face. All projects have specific risks. If you understand the risks, you can look at mitigation measures to address the risks.
