November 15, 2016

You can stay even more comfortable this winter in Oxford with the confidence that you have an upfront and reliable technician you can call on for furnace repair. You can find the perfect company right where you are now, online.

Though your first instinct may be to ask your friends and family for their thoughts, you can find out a lot of information about a company on your own, it’s perched at your fingertips. Using online databases and websites, you can uncover: the length a company has been in business, the mood of their customer’s reviews, financing options, the promotions they are offering and many more with an effortless search. The professionals at Franklin's Heating & Air Conditioning, Inc have compiled some things you can look for when searching for a furnace repair company.

  • The company should offer you a quote on repair costs before beginning work. Don’t be scared to ask if there are any undisclosed costs. You don’t want a surprise when you get your bill. It’s also a great idea to keep a consistent list of your furnace repair costs during the life of your system.

  • The company should use proper safety measures in their work. You are trusting the repair person with your house and valuables and you want to ensure nothing will be destroyed or damaged during the operation. Ask the company about their work procedures and the time-frame in order to better understand how they run.

  • The company should be properly bonded and licensed. If a company is bonded that will protect you if anything goes wrong during the repair. It also shows you that you’re working with a reputable company.

  • The company clearly explains and puts in writing what is wrong with your furnace. An honest company ensures their customers understand the work required to fix a problem. They don’t want to leave you in the dark.
