Imagine cooking for hours, preparing a stunning Thanksgiving feast. Guests are arriving, the house is full of holiday cheer, when suddenly your home’s air conditioning system crashes. With the oven on and Florida’s warm winters, it’s about to get stuffy.

Before that happens, find an Englewood AC company you can depend on. Knowing they’re available will give you peace of mind when there’s an emergency. Read on to learn how to choose the best local HVAC company today.

1. How Long Have You Operated?

Ask each company how long they’ve run and operated in Englewood. An established business is less likely to make costly mistakes. You can learn from their experience and expertise to improve your unit’s energy efficiency.

Newer businesses are more likely to experience operational issues (such as billing or scheduling problems). The number of heating and air conditioning businesses in the US has increased by 5% since last year. Try to avoid choosing a new business.

Make sure each company on your list is licensed. Hiring a licensed company won’t void your warranty. Confirm they have general liability and worker’s compensation insurance.

Determine who will arrive to work on our broken HVAC unit. Learn more about their credentials to confirm they’re knowledgeable.

If they lack relevant expertise, you may need to call another HVAC company for help.

2. What AC Problems Can You Fix?

Consider the problems you’re facing with your HVAC unit. For example, you may need help with:

  • Replacing fuses and relays
  • Fixing compressors
  • Fixing heat pumps
  • Replacing air handlers
  • Annual maintenance
  • Duct cleaning
  • HVAC installation

Maintaining your HVAC system with routine checks can extend the unit’s lifespan. Your unit should last between 15 and 20 years. Proper maintenance from a professional will also ensure you don’t void the warranty.

Ask each local HVAC company if they can improve your unit’s energy efficiency. The most efficient units use 30 to 50% less energy than units made in the mid-1970s. Even if the unit is 10 years old, you can save up to 40% of your energy costs by replacing the model.

Maintaining your HVAC system can help you avoid more expensive repairs or replacements. They can save you money by ensuring your unit works efficiently.

As you begin reviewing HVAC repair services, ask each company about their process. Look for a company that’s efficient.

3. What Are Your Prices?

Ask three local HVAC companies for an itemized list of their HVAC repair services. Determine what’s included with each estimate (such as labor and components).

Comparing prices between three companies can help you calculate the average price of services in Englewood. If one company charges more than the rest, question why.

Ask each company if they offer any specials. Confirm that the company also offers a warranty. These companies will have your best interests in mind.

Find the Best Englewood AC Company

Don’t make the costly mistake of choosing an inexperienced HVAC company. Instead, use these tips to find the best Englewood AC company. You can rely on their experience and expertise to ensure the functionality of your unit.

Nick has been to my house a few times for maintenance and has always been great. I had an issue when I first moved in and Eric came and had everything up and running in no time. They are great people and a great company.

Gabriel, our technician, was super! Polite and knowledgeable. He did a great job with our maintenance check up. Cleaned our unit nicely and then we received photos of all he did. Very good service.

Deborah G

Our technician was actually early to the appointment! Unheard of these days! Told us exactly what he was doing, took photos, and sent to us. Gave us additional information on purchasing a new thermostat. Would definitely recommend Bowersox!

Sue R

The service tech, Brian, was awesome. He explained each step of his trouble shooting process. Found the issue[s] and advised on how I can better maintain the system; some things I never knew before. Bowersox is great and reliable.

Stephen V

Dan and Jorge arrived on time to install our new A/C unit. They were presented an unplanned for problem. They patently solved the problem diligently, and the install was completed successfully. Both men were polite and a thorough explanation of the operation was delivered by Dan. We highly recommend Bowersox and this team if you are contemplating a new A/C system.

I highly recommend Bowersox. I scheduled the service call online, it was a quick and easy process. The appointment was scheduled within minutes. The technician, Adam, was thorough in the diagnosis of the problem, repaired the system in less than an hour.

Great installation! Danny and Mike were on time, courteous and meticulous when cleaning up. A very good and professional experience staring with Jon Curtis’s initial visit. Will use Bowersox again.

Jay Mortensen

Bowersox team were great. They came on time, it was a big job to replace the outside unit. They did it in a few hours. They kept the place very clean. I highly recommend them for HVAC jobs. The whole job & equipment was under warranty so no cost at all.

Eran M

Brice was great!!! He got us set up with a temporary fix until the part came in which we were so grateful for. Price was less than expected, especially for how great the service was! We will definitely be calling Bowersox for all of our air needs.

Brooklyn M

I cannot express how great a job Pauline did when servicing our Air Conditioner. She took pictures of the inside of the unit and explained in great and very understanding detail as to what she serviced and how the system works. Thanks again. So appreciated. We had to have more work done on the unit. Anthony was very patient and thorough doing the repairs. He was very professional and a good problem solver.

Nor'easter

Sean installed a new heat pump A/C system for us. Less than a day to remove the old system and install the new one. Very professional, made sure we understood the operation and answered all our questions. He also assured us he would be there in the future should we have any concerns or problems. We’re thrilled with the whole process of working with Bowersox and would highly recommend them for anyone looking for a new A/C system.

Steve P

Mark was timely and very knowledgeable in resolving the no heat issue we were experiencing with unit installed just a year ago by another company. He very patiently explained the proper working of a humidistat with the AC unit. Very much appreciated his service.

Adam was incredibly thorough and very professional. He explained how our system works and how to maintain it properly. He took care of the problem quickly and efficiently. He was also mindful of his surroundings and took care to not create any messes and cleaned up after himself. We were very impressed with his professionalism and his understanding, but most importantly his ability communicate effectively.
We were so pleased with the service that we signed up for a maintenance plan.
