Since the plumbers at Age Heating & Cooling want you to have the best possible experience, we’re sharing essential tips for finding the best plumber.

Licensed? Fair Prices? This Is How You Find the Best Plumber

Trying to select the right professional between all these different plumbing companies can be daunting at first at first. Each of these companies is claiming to offer better service, but which plumbers really have what it takes to back that statement up? Keep these key things in mind as you start your search:

  1. Make sure they’re licensed, insured and ideally certified: One of the most important ways to confirm your plumber is a professional is by finding where they’re insured and licensed by the proper regulatory organizations.Advanced plumbers may also have certifications demonstrating this competency. These certifications may be required for specialized services such as backflow prevention and testing.
  2. Check if they have policies related to warranties or service guarantees: Standard services like preventive maintenance are important for keeping the warranties of your plumbing equipment in good standing. Additionally, some plumbing companies offer their own warranties on new fixtures or other plumbing equipment. This demonstrates confidence and a willingness to replace faulty equipment.
  3. Read reviews and testimonials from past customers: It never hurts to have a second opinion, and any reviews providing them are a great source of information. When multiple reviews illustrate something concerning, you’ll know it might be better to look elsewhere.
  4. Take the time to thoroughly compare estimates: Even when a trusted plumbing company can offer you a quote for the work you want done, you might first try and make sure it isn’t too high. But estimates that are unusually low is also reason for caution.A A major difference in pricing could mean the plumber will use substandard materials or other shady, cost-saving measures.It’s also important that the quote is based on an in-person inspection to review the problem themselves. When quotes are only over the phone, the actual cost at the end of the project may be higher than you first thought.
  5. You can trust plumbers that are quick to respond, detailed and committed to long-term solutions: Professionalism is always important, but how do you define what a “professional” plumber should be? As an example, your plumber should always be polite and knowledgeable. When a plumber clearly makes your satisfaction the priority, you’ll be able to trust that the project will proceed smoothly.

But there are additional ways to make sure your plumber will provide the best possible service. How responsive are they with addressing your concerns? Do they help you learn how and why the problem showed up and keep you in-the-loop on their progress? And finally, the best plumbers offer solutions that endure. Preventive measures keep problems from happening in the first place, which means a more effective and cost-effective plumbing system.
