But we feel the reasons far outweigh the pricing they can give to a homeowner.<\/p>\n<p><strong>1.\u00a0 Licensed and Insured HVAC Contractors will be there in the years ahead.<\/strong> They are not \u201cfly-by-nighters\u201d. They have done what is required to be a \u201creal\u201d business. Licensed contractors won\u2019t have the prices that \u201cfly-by-nighters\u201d have, but they will be there for any warranty or problems you may experience.<\/p>\n<p><strong>2.\u00a0 You could be liable if the \u201cfly-by-nighter\u201d gets injured doing the work at your home.<\/strong> That\u2019s right, without the license and insurance that a legitimate HVAC Contractor is required to have, you are liable for injuries on your property.<\/p>\n<p><strong>3.\u00a0 You could be violating the law.<\/strong> Not only isn\u2019t this \u201cfly-by-nighter\u201d not paying the proper taxes and permit costs to your locality, you can\u2019t be sure where your new equipment came from.<\/p>\n<p><strong>4.\u00a0 You void any equipment warranty.<\/strong> Manufacturer\u2019s require a licensed contractor to install HVAC equipment in order for your warranty to be upheld. It is being suggested that the license number of the contractor will be required in order to register for your warranty.<\/p>\n<p><strong>5.\u00a0 Safety for your family.<\/strong> Last but in no way least!
