How to Choose a Commercial HVAC Contractor

Hot air balloons flying in the sky behind the office of B Carlson

Ensuring you have a trustworthy, experienced commercial HVAC contractor working on your project is an absolute must. Not only do you need someone reliable who can keep your timeline on track, but hiring the right commercial HVAC contractor the first time can save you money over time and keep your customers, clients, and employees happy. Commercial spaces require a high level of expertise, not only because the equipment is larger, but because of the large heating and cooling loads.

With nearly 50 years of experience, the technicians at B. Carlson Heating, Air Conditioning, and Plumbing share some of our insights to help you find the best commercial HVAC contractor for your project.

Questions You Should Ask Your Commercial HVAC Contractor

You don’t want an inexperienced technician working on your commercial project—that could lead to improper installation or botched repairs—all of which cost you more money to fix. Hire the right contractor the first time by asking them these questions:

  • Do you have the proper licenses to do this type of work? Large commercial HVAC projects require specific licensing and insurance to ensure that they have the proper experience and equipment for the job. In New Mexico, the New Mexico Construction Industries Division issues that license. The contractor should also have a thorough understanding of state and local permits and requirements, when and if applicable.
  • Do you have experience with commercial HVAC projects? Repair, replacement, or maintenance on commercial HVAC systems differs greatly from residential services. Having an experienced HVAC technician that understands commercial systems will help locate components quickly and expedite repairs. Not to mention, commercial projects have different installation processes, zone control needs, and duct systems that a residential HVAC technician may not be familiar with.
  • Can I call any time for future commercial HVAC services? When you experience a surprise breakdown, it’s important to you and your bottom line that your heating and air conditioning system is back up and running as soon as possible. Do they offer 24/7 emergency repairs? Do they have a maintenance program? Be sure your commercial HVAC contractor can be there for you whenever you need them.
  • What is your reputation? This is something you can ask the company outright, but word of mouth, testimonials, and reviews from actual customers who have worked with that HVAC company can speak volumes in only a few words.
  • What financing options do you have? HVAC systems—especially large, complex, commercial ones—can be a big investment. Ask your commercial HVAC contractor if they have financing options available to help make your new system as affordable as possible.
