SALES       SERVICE      INSTALLATION

Trabuco Air recommend for all homeowners to perform due dilatants before hiring a contractor. This can be done at CSLB. There you can check a license, principles with the company,  check owners, sales persons, as well as any ("operations manager"), and perform a persons name request. All three are very important. The persons name check is ("VERY IMPORTANT") and middle name as well.  If you find a sales person that is overly friendly stop; and ask them for their full name including middle name. Ask them if this name is the same name as on their DL. If they suddenly get hostile or just try and blow right past your questions, you may have found your man.  Go check them out on the CSLB site. The reason is; there are some company principles which "may" have had complaints on their own license. So many times these contractor's represntives "may" fly under the radar so to speaks. These key principles should be checked for past violations and/ or or revoked licenses  Many times swindlers are referred to as manipulators. Remember a con's are very good at being con's . You "may" be dealing a swindler and not even know it. Most of these persons "may" act like your best friend to a means for persona gain. We "feel" that we know  few contractors which we "feel" "may"  fall into some of these categories. We recommend that you do your homework and pay attention to the mannerism of your companies rep.

Please beware that there "may" be supposed great contractor's that "may" be operating under another contractor's license. These people and/or salesmen "may" use another person license to operate. This "may" be illegal! Why is this you "may" ask? Well many HVAC contractor's  "may fail to follow contractor's laws such as, Lack of proper notice, three days right to cancel, not permitting work and other violations. These ex-contractor's "may" have lost their own license, then go find some bump on the log and "may" con the guy into letting him use his license or even "may" run the company. The guy who "may" has lost his license and "may" be the operations manager as well.  These people "may" be very convincing, appear to be very knowledgeable about the HVAC trade,  give you the best deal, and promise you the moon. Again we suggest that you be "highly suspicious if you find an overly friendly sales person at your home. 

When receiving a bid from any contractor, ask "IS A PERMIT REQUIRED". If you are told, no-maybe- kind of-or something like, "it's no big deal", run. Why, because by California law a permit is required. Also if you have damage to your home as an result from un-permitted work, your insurance company may not pay for the damaged to your home.  If you decided to sell your home you will have to disclose all work not to code or not permitted. This un-permitted may cause your home to be un-sellable. If you you have to permit the work at the time of sale and codes have changed since the installation took place, you may have re-do the whole job all over again. Yes permitting the installation may cost a little more up-front, but permitting will save you money in the long run.
