Hey guys we're gon na get to the video in just a second before you do anything. Please click that subscribe button, so you can be informed with all the videos we put out. Thank you: hey guys, Josh for Griffin, Air, serving the middle Peninsula and the Northern Neck of Virginia, and we do Heating and Air and plumbing wanted to do a quick video, because we've gotten this question before and it's something that we address at the new HVAC guide.com. So if you are in the market for a new heating and air system check out that website, it's a guide on how to buy your next heating and air system, and it goes through all kinds of behind the scenes.

Stuff. All kinds of you know things that contractors and HVAC manufacturers, don't even want you to know, we give you the ins and outs we give you we even have a page called know knows that it's basically some things to stay away from so anyway. I wanted to do a video because we've had this question you're not in our coverage area. Folks will call us.

Hey we've seen your reviews, we've seen your videos, we want you but you're three hours away or you're 16 hours away or whatever. How can I find someone good, and so I have three tips that I'm going to give you on finding your next contractor. The first two are pretty normal ones. The third one, I think, is a little different and unique first first tip, and it's a little bit more of a warning this this tip, and that is word-of-mouth right so best advertising is word-of-mouth, asking your friends and family who they're using, etc, etc.

One warning that I'll give you, though, that I have found even personally, and that is, if you ask someone for a referral and they give you someone that they recommend, ask them how they know this person right. So if it's their brother-in-law, who just does this on the side and he's not a licensed and insured company chances, are that might not be? Who you want to use, even though your friend, who you think you know once the best for you, is referring them to you right? So that would be the first tip. Word-Of-Mouth ask your friends and family, but I would also throw in there ask them how they know who they're referring you to tip number two would be check out the online reviews for any company, I think any normal decent company today, even if they're, not internet savvy, You should be able to find some reviews on them, good or bad, and if they have a bad review, that's not necessarily a bad thing. I may read it, you know there.

You know it could be just a disgruntled customer because they wanted something for free right. I always crack up when I go read: reviews for restaurants and some of the things that people complain about. There is just funny to me, so that would be the first two and then the third tip that I will give you that I think is gold, and that is if you live in an area and you go on google and you search heating, an air or Hvac suppliers suppliers so companies that don't sell to you. They sell to your contractor right, they're, the folks that supply them with the parts and their equipment and all that stuff call one of those and they're not going to be able to help you.

As far as doing anything to at your house, that's not what they do. They sell heating and air parts and equipment. Well, what they have is a front row seat to all the contractors that come into their store right. So you know some of our local suppliers.

Re Michael Ferguson, Lyon, Conklin John Stone all these different suppliers. They have a front row seat to how the companies operate whose looks like they got. You know some sense, you know, looks like they're not on drugs looks like they can hold a conversation with a customer and provide good service all of those things they have a front-row seat to that. So they get to see the good and the bad and they might be able to refer you to someone that can take good care of you.

So you just tell them what you're looking for, if you're looking for a smaller company, they do this at a good price. All that good stuff or maybe you're, looking for maybe a larger company that can be johnny-on-the-spot and be there right away, depends on what you're. After I'm not gon na guide you on that, but what I will say is, hopefully you know you found some value in one of those three tips and if you want some more tips, you got to check out the new HVAC guy dot-com. I go even more in-depth.
