Your HVAC system is nothing short of a life-saver in the scorching summer heat. Seriously. Don’t go outside. Unless of course your ac unit is broken, in which case it’s probably cooler outside than it is in your house.

As the heat persists, so does the need to take care of your HVAC unit. Without maintenance your HVAC unit will have to work harder than normal, especially in extreme temperatures. If your ac unit is working harder than normal it will wear down faster and use more energy, which will increase your electricity bill.

 Now that I have your attention, let’s talk about finding the right HVAC technician for the job. You don’t just want to call any company: you always want to look for a company that has NATE certified technicians.

NATE, aka North American Technician Excellence, is the largest non-profit certification organization for HVAC and refrigeration technicians in the nation. NATE certification consists of a series of rigorous tests that allow technicians to earn Installation and/or Servicing certification in one or more of the 11 offered specialties.

NATE certified technicians must pass these specialized exams to prove their knowledge and skill in the industry. These certifications eventually expire and have to be renewed, so certified NATE technicians receive constant reinforcement through technical and safety training so that they are up to date on the newest technology in air conditioning equipment.

Because of their required certification renewals, NATE certified technicians are more knowledgeable in the HVAC industry and more skilled at handling any difficulties that may arise. Use a NATE certified technician and you’ll know you’re in good hands.

Your current HVAC company doesn’t have NATE certified technicians? Not to worry! Efficient Climate Control employs the most highly qualified, NATE certified staff to service, repair, and upgrade your homes heating and air conditioning equipment.
