We Hired an HVAC Company That Cleaned Up Their Mess
When the HVAC technician told us that it was time to replace our furnace along with two outside units, we were really hesitant.
It wasn’t because we didn’t have the finances for it, because we’d been saving for months.
Our furnace was 15 years old, so we knew the replacement was coming, which gave us plenty of time to save. We were hesitant to replace our furnace and outside units because of the mess. When my parents had their furnace replaced the year prior, we saw the destruction that took place. The HVAC technicians tracked in so much dirt, mud, and debri that there were permanent stains on the carpet. My husband and I had to go help my parents clean their house and it took weeks. We rented a carpet cleaner in an attempt to get the stains out and it still didn’t take them out completely. There were screws and nails left on the floor, which was a huge safety hazard for my old parents. We didn’t hire the same HVAC company to install our furnace and new outside units and I’m so glad we didn’t. Before we hired anyone, we asked them a series of questions about how they were going to handle the mess. Ultimately, we ended up paying more for a company that assured us the mess would be properly maintained and cleaned up. They were worth every penny, because they put down drop cloths and wore paper booties on their shoes. Not an ounce of dirt was left on our floors when they were done.
