Have Plumbers & HVAC Contractors You Can Trust On Your Team!

As every property manager knows, your properties have a lot of maintenance needs. From exterior maintenance like landscaping and pressure washing to interior maintenance like appliance repair and fire safety system inspections, there’s always something that needs doing. The key to successfully managing your properties — whether you have one or 100 — is to have a cadre of trusted home service contractors you can call for your maintenance needs.

Two of the most important contractors you’ll need are plumbers and HVAC technicians.

Here in the Lowcountry, we enjoy a gorgeous coastal setting, but that proximity to the coast presents its own unique problems for building management. We have long, hot, humid summers that require reliable air conditioning service and equally reliable AC experts. And we also have a high water table that can greatly impact the plumbing systems in your properties.

Here are some things to consider when looking for the trusted Lowcountry HVAC and plumbing professionals you’ll rely on to support your successful property management business.

What To Look For In Your HVAC & Plumbing Contractors

Can They Serve You?

When you’re looking for a plumber or heating and cooling professional you can trust with your property management maintenance needs, the first thing you should do is verify that they serve property managers. There are a lot of great contractors out there, but they don’t all have the capacity to be on-call for a property management firm. You want a contractor who has the resources to meet your needs quickly and with exceptional professionalism.

Are They Licensed To Serve You?

Next, look for licensure. Having a license proves they’ve got years of training and have passed exams in both theory and practice. They’ve proven themselves to be masters of their trade. You should never contract with an unlicensed HVAC company or plumber. Additionally, look for industry certifications and association memberships that show they keep up with their continuing education and ongoing training.

Do They Have Good Reviews?

The next thing to look for is outstanding reviews. Good reviews from residential and commercial clients are a solid indicator that you can expect great service when you call for plumbing repairs, AC upgrades and seasonal maintenance tune-ups. Pay particular attention to reviews from fellow property managers, as they understand the ins and outs of coordinating calls for multiple properties and will know best whether a particular contractor is up to snuff.

Do They Offer Maintenance Programs?

Another key factor to consider in your potential contractor is whether or not they offer a maintenance program. The ideal local plumbing and HVAC company will offer maintenance contracts that can be tailored to your properties. This is incredibly important when coordinating seasonal maintenance inspections across multiple properties.

Do They Offer 24/7 Emergency Service?

Finally, look for a plumber and HVAC contractor that offers 24/7 emergency service. Most maintenance issues your tenants experience can wait a few hours (or even a few days) for resolution, but if a broken pipe is flooding your property or an air conditioning unit is producing heat when it’s already hot and humid outside, that needs to be fixed immediately. You need to know the company you contract with can get there and get it fixed before your tenants’ health or belongings are impacted.
