Whether you need HVAC equipment installation, maintenance or repair in your Savannah home, it’s important to choose a reputable contractor to perform the work. One way to ensure the job will be done right the first time around is to choose a contractor who will send a NATE certified HVAC technician to your home.
What is NATE Certification?
North American Technician Excellence (NATE), is a non-profit organization that certifies technicians in the heating, ventilation and air conditioning industry. To become NATE certified, technicians take a rigorous real-world exam that puts their knowledge to the test. They can choose to specialize in specific areas to increase their chances of being hired. Specializations include air conditioning, heat pumps, gas and oil furnaces, refrigeration, air distribution, and more.
In the end, NATE is responsible for certifying technicians, and discerning HVAC contractors hire them so they can provide the best service possible to customers like you.

One way to ensure your equipment performs at peak efficiency is to only trust equipment installation and maintenance to an experienced NATE certified HVAC technician.
