An Air Distribution System is a handy device for directing warmed air to various rooms using a blower, ducts, and registers. This same system also helps distribute cool air from an AC system through the same blower, ducts, and registers. To have this system properly maintained and repaired, it’s advisable to hire the right service provider. The following tips can assist with this task.

To find an expert to work on an Air Distribution System, first learn about any factory warranty that is still in effect on the system. There may also be an extended warranty. Call the warranty company to learn about the protocol for getting repair or maintenance assistance. Many warranty companies contract service providers to do their work. When this is the case for your warranty, request the names of two technicians. Research both of these experts.

A few warranty companies allow customers to hire their own technicians. Talk to a few friends and family members who have this type of system in their homes. It’s a good idea to accept a referral for a service provider who has been researched or directly used by the person recommending him. Ask a few probing questions to learn how each service provider delivered customer care and workmanship. Consider all details and choose the one for further review.

Make a first contact with the service provider. Have a list of questions ready to ask such as:

  • Are you insured and bonded?
  • Do you have a state or local license?
  • Are you locally registered to conduct business?
  • Are you a member of trade organizations?
  • What types of systems do you work on?
  • Do you offer a guarantee for your work?

If the service provider provides sufficient answers, schedule an appointment for the technician to inspect your home. Observe the way this is done without getting in the way. The service provider should ask questions about your home and be happy to answer questions about the work that will be done. Consider all details to decide whether this expert is qualified for the job.
