When the Gulf Coast heat and humidity kicks in, having a reliable air conditioning system isn’t just a luxury- it’s a necessity. Whether you’re building a new home, replacing an old AC unit, or simply maintaining your current HVAC system, finding a trustworthy company can make all the difference in comfort, energy efficiency, and long-term savings.

As the owner of Top Notch AC & Heat, I’ve seen firsthand how overwhelming it can be for homeowners and contractors to navigate their options. That’s why I want to share a few key tips to help you choose the right HVAC service provider.

Look for Licensed and Insured Professionals

Always choose an HVAC company that is licensed and insured in Mississippi. Licensing ensures that the technician or company has the training and experience to handle complex systems safely and effectively. Any contractor license can be verified on the Mississippi State Board of Contractors website, https://www.msboc.us/. Insurance protects you in case of accidents or damage during installation or repair. The Mississippi Board of Contractors requires licensed contractors to carry insurance, so if their license is listed as active and in good standing on the website, you can guarantee that they carry insurance.

Prioritize A2L Refrigerant Knowledge

With refrigerant regulations evolving, especially with the transition to low-global-warming-potential refrigerants like A2Ls, it’s critical that your HVAC contractor understands and is certified to handle these newer HVAC systems. At Top Notch AC & Heat, we’re certified and trained to work with A2L refrigerants safely and efficiently.

Check for Transparent Pricing and Honest Communication

Nobody wants surprise charges after a job. Look for companies that offer clear estimates, fair pricing, and open communication. If a contractor avoids answering questions, rushes you into a decision, or doesn’t give you options, that is a major red flag.

Read Local Reviews and Ask for References

Check platforms like Google, Facebook, or Nextdoor to see what others in your community are saying about the AC company. A solid reputation in you area often means the company values long-term relationships and stands behind their word and their work.

Choose Local Experience

Local knowledge is crucial. A company that understands Mississippi Gulf Coast weather patterns- from the humidity to storm preparation- can offer more tailored recommendations for your HVAC needs. Plus, they’re more accessible for follow-up service and emergencies.
