What to look for in an HVAC provider – Hamilton Spectator

Steve and Natalie Brogan, owners of the nearly 20-year-old A-Plus Air of Stoney Creek, believe that everyone should understand the basics behind their home heating and cooling systems. This makes for informed consumers who can recognize top-notch, reliable service when they see it.

If youre looking for a heating and cooling specialist, look for a company that has taken on projects of all sizes. Make sure the contractors are not simply installers, but also have first-hand experience in custom designing, building and installing complete systems.

If youre a business owner, hire a company that has a full portfolio of varied commercial projects under its belt. It doesnt matter whether your own job is large or small; ideally, you want to hire a team that is expert in their field.

A reputable HVAC business will always look to create efficiencies for its customers, regardless of the scale of the project. Every job should be equally important, whether its a straightforward, minor residential repair or a complex, brand new commercial installation that involves several different heating and cooling zones.

The company should also be able to offer you a comprehensive range of products and services. The staff should attend ongoing training to keep their skills and knowledge sharp.

Look for a company that provides a personal and professional home consultation where you can gather information and have an open, relaxed and pressure-free discussion about your needs.

The Brogans last bit of advice is to insist on a business that is a long-time member in good standing with the Better Business Bureau. Its an important safeguard for consumers.

A really top-notch HVAC company can go beyond the basics to offer specialty services, such as designing and installing in-floor radiant heating, or expertly controlling your indoor environment through zoning systems and the use of separate thermostats. A-Plus Air can do all of this, and can even make recommendations on essentials like air purifiers and humidifiers.

A-Plus Air is a member of the Heating, Refrigeration and Air Conditioning Institute, the Niagara Home Builders Association and the Ontario Home Builders Association, as well as the BBB. For more information about the company, please contact them at 905-385-6450. A-Plus Air is located at 1100 South Service Road, Unit 110, in Stoney Creek.
