How to Identify A Skilled Air Conditioning Engineer
For some of you reading, you may be unaware of just how many skilled air conditioning engineers there are in today’s market. With so many to choose from, it can be difficult to understand how to utilise your money effectively to get the best job possible at the best price. Here at D-Mec services, we have been operating for over 25 years in the HVAC industry, and as such, we believe we know how to recognise a highly-skilled air con engineer. While identifying an air conditioning specialist who offers value for money and exceptional levels of knowledge is desired, there are a few notable differences all AC engineers from reputable companies will have, which we have detailed below:
Spotting a Skilled Air Conditioning Engineer:
Industry Recognised Certifications
There are certain standards/accreditations that air con engineers must meet. When you are searching for someone to inspect your air conditioner, you may wish to enquire about their qualifications. For example, it is highly advised that they hold an F-gas qualification which enables them to legally install, service, repair and leak test air conditioners. Similarly, they should hold an IPAF membership which enables users to promote safe and effective use of powered access equipment – something which is likely to be utilised when repairing your AC unit. If an engineer is highly qualified, it shows professionalism and a willingness to do the job properly to meet the customers expectations.
Experience
A company or engineer that has been in business for a number of years is, more often than not, going to offer much greater value for your money. They will have all the technical know-how and experience when dealing with a wide array of potential issues. They will be able to utilise past experience to get the job done effectively, efficiently and will leave you feeling impressed with the service you have received.
As a side note, transparency is also something to look for. If your engineer is unclear about any past experience or not able to confidently justify why they are doing a certain action to repair your AC unit, then this may indicate a problem which you should definitely be mindful of.
Positive And Documented Reviews
One of the determining factors that allows customers to decide whether an air conditioning engineer is worthwhile, is positive and well documented reviews. If you conduct a quick search on Google for ‘’air conditioning engineers near me’’ and look for companies that have exceptional reviews, you are more likely to go ahead with their services. This is because positive reviews indicate reliability, quality and good value for your money. It will also enable you to separate the tradespeople that do not offer exemplary levels of service which you can avoid.
