Contractor Referral Service: Selecting Your Contractor

Selecting the right contractor

A quality home improvement requires both the right product and the right contractor. Whether it's a new heating system, natural gas fireplace or another product from PSE's Contractor Referral Service, consider the following points before you decide on a contractor.

Did the contractor...

• Verify adequate venting for natural gas heating, and water heating systems or offer direct vent options?

• Discuss equipment and installation warranty?

• Explain the permitting process?

• Explain the maintenance requirements of the system you're purchasing?

• Provide a detailed, written estimate of work to be performed?

• Discuss high efficiency equipment options?

• Describe exactly what the installation work will involve (e.g., disruptions to every day activities)?

• Explain the company's service and maintenance ability and hours of operation?
