The Truth About Online Contractor Referral Sites
You’ve heard the promises: “Free and easy!” … “Only the most reliable contractors!” … “Thousands of contractors to choose from!” … “We run background checks on all our contractors!”
Unfortunately, there’s no real way to prove any of this to be true! In fact, many of these so-called unbiased and impartial contractor referral companies are simply promoting contractors who pay to be listed or featured on their sites.
And those background checks?
If they’re done, they are typically only done on the owners of the company, not on the workers who are in the field coming into your home.
Finally, they say nothing in life is free – and these services aren’t any different!
These companies charge contractors for the leads they provide, and that cost is typically passed along to the customer through the contractor’s charges. In short, it’s important to take these promises with a grain of salt – many of these sites are only saying what customers want to hear to draw them in for the sake of making a profit. Be wary! And, to ensure you’re doing business with an actual reliable HVAC contractor, call or contact us today!
