When it comes to choosing the right HVAC company, experience matters. Sal’s Heating and Cooling, Plumbing and Sewer, Inc. has serviced North Royalton, Cleveland, Parma, Vermillion, Akron, Canton, Kent, Hudson, and surrounding areas since 1975. Our second-generation, family-owned, and operated business is well known for providing trustworthy professional services that Ohioans rely on.

We’ve seen it all over the years. DIY jobs have gone bad, serious mistakes from unlicensed contractors, and even some subpar work from area pros. Whether you choose Sal’s or not, it’s important that you take the time to find the best HVAC company for your home. If you want a comfortable home that maintains its value, HVAC work should be performed by a company with the proper licensure, bonding, and insurance.

HVAC Training

In order to work for a trusted HVAC company, people go through extensive training to become HVAC technicians. Training programs take six to 24 months to complete in Ohio depending on the level of education the tech is reaching for. Some earn a diploma, certificate, or associate degree. Apprenticeships are available with hands-on work experience and time in the classroom. When you are considering an HVAC company, be sure that you find one with experienced techs. While it’s important to have new, young HVAC technicians in the field, those new techs need years of hands-on experience with supervision from technicians with the most experience.

HVAC technology is becoming increasingly popular as a career path. There are plenty of opportunities available also after you have finished the course and passed the exam to become an HVAC certified technician. Property owners should always make sure you are only allowing certified technicians to work on your HVAC systems with plenty of experience to back them up. Your home is an asset, don’t trust the HVAC components to just anyone.

Company Culture

When choosing an HVAC company, you want to pick a company with an active HVAC license. If you are not using a certified professional you run the risk of work not being up to code, voiding warranties, and possible damage to your home or property that you the homeowner will be liable for. Trust a company that their service technicians treat your home and property with respect and as if it was their own. Showing customers property respect is part of a professional’s job. For example, at Sal’s, we require technicians to wear boot covers inside homes and require them to clean the work area upon completion.

When you’re searching for an HVAC company, check their reviews. Do the customers mention anything about the company leaves their property? The customer service? Efficiency? Pricing? All of these factors are important to consider when choosing the right HVAC company.

Ability to Meet Demand

Are you choosing an HVAC company that has 24/7 Emergency service including nights and weekends? No one wants to be without heat in the winter, or cold air in the summer. It’s important to choose an HVAC company that offers emergency service.
