1. Learn about requirements — Each state or locality has specific insurance and licensing requirements that every HVAC contractor must meet. Check your local requirements to make sure the contractor is properly licensed.

3. Ask for references — Get a list of references from any prospective HVAC contractor. Find out whether the work they had done was completed to their satisfaction.
