What Do I Look for in a Professional HVAC and Plumbing Company?

One of the first things to watch out for is unrealistically low pricing. Companies offering furnace or air conditioner tune-ups for $99 or $149 may seem like a great deal, but these prices often don’t cover the true cost of the service.

Why It’s a Red Flag:

• A licensed plumber or HVAC technician in Calgary typically earns $36 to $45 per hour.
• Driving across the city, materials, and labor costs mean that a $99 service call is unsustainable.
• These companies often send salespeople instead of technicians, who may pressure you into unnecessary repairs or replacements.

When hiring a professional HVAC and plumbing company, look for fair pricing that reflects the quality of service and expertise you deserve.

A reputable HVAC and plumbing company should be focused on long-term relationships, not quick sales. Companies that charge too little often cut corners or rely on upselling to stay afloat.

• What to Look For:

  • A company that charges enough to cover the cost of proper maintenance and repairs.

  • Technicians who are incentivized to do the job right the first time, without pressuring you into unnecessary services.

  • A track record of long-term reliability and positive customer reviews.

At Wiehler Mechanical, we believe in transparency and quality service, ensuring your home’s systems are maintained properly without hidden costs or surprises.

If a technician arrives at your home and immediately tries to sell you expensive repairs or replacements, it’s a sign that the company prioritizes profits over your best interests.

• How to Spot It:

  • Technicians who exaggerate issues or claim your system needs immediate replacement.

  • Companies that use scare tactics to pressure you into making quick decisions.

A professional HVAC and plumbing company will provide honest assessments and recommendations, giving you the information you need to make informed decisions.
