How to choose an HVAC contractor
- Give the system's age, size (tons) and the symptom; a photo of the unit's data plate helps.
- Ask for the contractor's license and check it with the state.
- For a replacement, ask what is included: removal, permit, inspection, line set, thermostat.
- Compare quotes on the same equipment size and efficiency.
License, insurance and other details on a profile are stated by the company itself. BisHub shows them as provided and does not verify them — check a license with the issuing authority before you hire.
How requests work on BisHub
- Enter the ZIP code where the work will be done. The list then shows only companies whose service area includes that ZIP, with the approximate distance from their work base.
- Open a company profile to read its description, services, service area, hours and published reviews.
- Send a request to one company, or pick up to three and send the same request to each. Companies reply and send quotes inside BisHub; you choose whether to hire anyone.
- Requests are free for customers. BisHub is the platform the companies use — it is not the contractor, and it does not do the work.
