How should I go about finding an A/C contractor?

When you look for a contractor to install an air conditioning unit, three things are important to grade your prospective choices on.

Reputation. Ask each contractor you are considering for a list of customers, and call a few of them.  Consider contractors who are members of the Air Conditioning Contractors of America, the Plumbing-Heating-Cooling Contractors Association or another professional association.

Credentials. Look at the contractor’s license from the Arizona State Registrar of Contractors. It should indicate that the contractor is licensed to perform work on your heating and cooling system. Don’t be afraid to ask to see proof of insurance and bonding-it could end up saving you in the end.

Experience. Pull out an old phone book and look up your contractor. A service provider who has been around for at least five years has proven a commitment to the job. You want to hire someone you can count on to return year after year.
