A service man from came from Changing Winds came to work on my friends house. The service technician tried to say that there was nothing wrong that the drain just needed to be cleared. The pan was completely rusted out, the float switch fail to shut the unit off and prevent water from running all over the attic into the ceiling. He was highly unprofessional and lacked basic HVAC 101 skills. By the way I have been doing heating and air for 13 years and cannot stand the hacks in my career field that give HVAC techs bad names. I would not let him work on a snow cone machine.
Though a standard question, it's important to ask. Most contractors will tell you how long they expect the job to take without you asking. If they don't volunteer that information, be sure to ask. It's also helpful to ask if that's a hard finish date, meaning that it's the definite finish date. If it's a soft finish date, it may be extended for any number of reasons.
Many jobs in South Carolina will require municipal permits in order to be approved by the town's inspector. It's always good to ask who will be responsible for pulling those permits, and if you'll be expected to do it. You'll almost never be told to pull your own, but knowing that Hanahan Heating permits are required makes you appear to be a well informed customer.
This really only matters if you have a preference, but it is good to ask. If you have a strong ideological belief about unions or nonunions, it's perfectly acceptable to make a decision based on the preference.
You'll always want to ask how long the company has been in business in Hanahan. While this isn't a guarantee that the company will do good work, companies with longevity on their side must be doing something right. That being said, there are newer companies that do great work. If the company is under three years old, ask where the owner was employed before and for how long. If he/she has a long history of employment, it's reasonable to infer that he or she decided to go into business for themselves after so many years of experience.
