1. Experience – As they say… “There’s no substitute for experience.” It is important to learn how much experience a heating and air conditioning company has before hiring them. Experience is what can make the difference between having your unit repaired the first time versus having an inexperienced technician just replace parts. An experienced and knowledgeable technician will look for the root cause, instead of just treating the symptoms, preventing a callback, and spending more money. At Charles Berg Enterprises, many of our employees have been at with the company for over 20 years, and several have over 35 years in the trade.
Charles Berg Experience – Charles Berg is a fourth-generation family owned and operated business. In January 2017, they celebrated 50 years in the heating and air conditioning business. Today, Charles Berg’s daughter, Cindy LaCoste, and her husband, Kevin, run the day-to-day business. They have high standards set in policies created decades ago by the founder, Charles Berg, including to be honest, friendly, kind, and courteous, and do things right the first time.
“My dad raised me with these values,” said Cindy, “and we’ll never change. I won’t be satisfied until my customers are satisfied.”
2. Equipment – Purchasing a heating and air conditioning unit based solely on price may cost you more in the long run. There are plenty of low-cost and low-end units on the market, do not expect them to be as efficient or last as long as a quality, name brand unit. Some units only last a few years, while others may last for more than a decade. A quality unit will come with a good warranty and great efficiency ratings. Furthermore, a new equipment’s efficiency and life expectancy can be greatly impacted by the procedures used to install it. Charles Berg Enterprises is committed to following manufacture guidelines and industry stands to ensure your unit meets the efficiency ratings stated and continues running for many years.
Charles Berg Equipment – Lennox and Trane are the perfect matches for Charles Berg Enterprises. Since 1895, Lennox has been on a continuous quest to reinvent home comfort. Today, that pursuit takes shape in many innovative ways: precise and energy-efficient air conditioners, the quietest high-efficiency furnaces, heat pumps, Wi-Fi enabled thermostats, air handlers, air cleaners, small space comfort systems, boilers and more.

3. People - The people who own, manage, and work at a HVAC company are the most important piece of the puzzle. It’s getting more difficult to find experienced and dependable HVAC technicians, as well as customer-centered team members. Quality equipment isn’t as good if it isn’t serviced or installed properly. When contacting a heating and air conditioning company, it all begins with your first phone call. When considering which company to hire, ask yourself if everyone has been friendly and happy to listen to your needs or were they only happy to get you scheduled and off the phone?
