Israel is a hot country, and as if that is not enough, by all forecasts, the hot summer months are expected to be much warmer in the coming years, due to climate change and global warming.

This is probably one of the reasons why it is almost impossible to find a home in Israel without an air conditioner.

But an air conditioner requires regular maintenance, such as repairs, replacement of parts, gas filling and more - probably in the spring months, just before the hot summer arrives.

But how do you know to choose the right air conditioner technician?

What is important to know about the subject and what is not recommended to do?

We have put together useful tips to help you choose the best air conditioner technician for you.

There is nothing like recommendations

This tip applies to all professionals.

Before looking for an air conditioner technician (or any other professional), try to contact friends, family or acquaintances, and ask them for recommendations on a recommended air conditioner technician.

Another option is to look for an air conditioner technician on social media.

On Facebook, for example, there is no shortage of groups that centralize recommendations for professionals.

In addition, you can also search for recommendations across the web, on Google or in the B144 Professional Index.

insurance

One of the first questions you should ask the air conditioner technician who is interested in his services should be related to the insurance issue.

The various insurance companies agree to insure only licensed and knowledgeable technicians, which means that if the technician you choose has insurance, he probably understands a thing or two.

In addition, the insurance can save you quite a bit of money in cases of future malfunctions or work that has not been done properly.

Do not be ashamed to compare prices

If you have decided to purchase a new electrical product, you are likely to conduct a comprehensive market survey to understand where it is most profitable to purchase it.

Even when choosing an air conditioner technician it is advisable to conduct a market survey and take a number of quotes.

We recommend making a neat list, talking to a number of professionals, comparing the offers and only then choosing the technician who is most suitable for you.

Warranty certificate at the end of the work

Did you agree with an air conditioner technician?

Excellent, but even before he arrives to do the work, check with him whether he will provide you with a warranty certificate at the end of the work.

Experienced air conditioning technicians will always take responsibility for their work and provide you with a warranty certificate.

Technicians who try to avoid this are probably not interested in taking responsibility for their work.

Valid licenses

In many cases, air conditioner technicians are forced to perform various electrical work when installing a new air conditioner.

Therefore, they must hold a certified electrician certificate.

It should be noted that there are many cases where it is not necessary to perform electrical work and therefore not every technician must hold such a certificate.

In addition, the air conditioner technician must have a license to work with gas and a license to work at height.

It is advisable to check the licenses of the professional you have chosen before starting work.
