Finding a company you can trust to repair, replace or install your heating or cooling system can be a difficult task.

The HVAC equipment in your home plays an important role in your family’s comfort, so you want to find someone you can trust. But how do you know if your HVAC technician is knowledgeable and experienced? That’s where NATE certified technicians step in to help.

What is NATE?

NATE stands for North American Technician Excellence and is an independent, third-party certification organization for heating, ventilation, air conditioning and refrigeration technicians. A NATE certified technician has demonstrated working, real-word knowledge in the HVAC industry by passing rigorous tests and examinations.

Why should you care?

Your heating and cooling system is one of the most important and hardest working appliances in your home. Knowing how to properly control your home’s temperature, humidity and ventilation is complex and demanding.

Therefore, it is important that your HVAC unit is installed, repaired or replaced only by technicians who know what they are doing. HVAC systems installed by incompetent or inexperienced technicians could result in improper installation.

Improperly installed units may result in:

  • Noisy Operation
  • Incorrectly Sized Unit
  • Poor Indoor Air Quality
  • Uncomfortable Humidity
  • Carbon Monoxide Poisoning
  • Risk of Fire
  • Inefficient Operation

According to the United States Department of Energy, an improperly installed HVAC system can reduce your system’s efficiency by as much as 30%, costing you hundreds of dollars a year. When you hire a NATE certified technician, you can rest assured your system will be installed correctly.

Benefits of using a NATE technician

Having your heating and cooling systems serviced, installed and maintained by NATE certified technicians allows you a greater peace of mind knowing your equipment is in capable hands. A HVAC system that is regularly serviced by NATE certified technicians will benefit in the form of:

  • Reduced Energy Bills
  • A More Comfortable House
  • Improved System Longevity
  • Increased Safety

Don’t leave your heating and cooling systems to the fate of an uncertified HVAC technician. Hire a company with a commitment to employ knowledgeable and experienced NATE certified technicians.
