This may seem daunting but it’s really pretty straightforward. A good tip I can give you is try to select contractors you may need on a, how long have they been established basis Why? Because if you have an emergency service repair and need to find them quickly youlle want to know there still here And the WORST thing you can ever do is picking someone from the contact pages and advertisments. I’m not talking about getting a bid for work you don’t need, but try to at least get the names and a business address
The easiest, and one of the best ways to select a possible contractor, is to get references from friends, family or a Relative you trust. Please, do not just use the “Contact pages” and hire someone.
Once you have some names, meet with them, look for “chemistry” or rapport between you and them and observe their level of professionalism. Courtesy, respect, punctuality and the ability to communicate are some of the most important attributes a contractor can have next to their basic competency. Actually, no matter how good someone is, if they don’t click with you on these points, don’t hire them. Period.
I’m sorry to say that I have seen so many air conditioning companies come and go here on the Costa Blanca basicaly due to greed, its always best to select that small family business here in Spain, that can ride out the ups and downs of the economy and still stay in business. to suggest you should also be observant for signs of substance abuse such as alcohol. If you suspect anything here, do not hire the contractor.
