Customers have lots to loose when they employ unlicensed HVAC contractors.

HOME OWNERS HAVE ONLY THEMSELVES TO BLAME FOR PROBLEMS ARISING AS A RESULT OF THEY EMPLOYING UNLICENSED CONTRACTORS TO DO HVAC REPAIRS.

Home owners should not employ unlicensed HVAC contractors to undertake paid HVAC work at their homes and businesses. Besides being a safety issued unlicensed contractors do not carry insurance and cannot honor warranties. Their work may be cheaper because they carry no responsibilities. Insurance companies will not cover defects or home incidents that resulted after work was undertaken by unlicensed contractors. It is not worth the risk to personal life, life of animals and property to have unlicensed contractors undertake HVAC work. Also unlicensed contractors are usually unstable and are unable to be reached to undertake repairs.
