-- Lower utility bills through proper installation and maintenance

-- Advice and knowledge from a skilled, certified technician
"Satisfaction is higher when consumers hire certified technicians. Among
consumers who know NATE and have used a NATE-certified tech, 84 percent
said they would select the same contractor again. Why would you NOT choose
a certified technician?"
- Ray Isaac, Chairman, NATE and President, Isaac Heating and Air
Conditioning
"This year, in particular, there is little room for inefficiency as
consumers nationwide watch costs go up and budgets increasingly tighten.
Using a certified HVAC technician ensures your HVAC system will be
functioning at its best and as efficiently as possible this season."
- Rex Boynton, President, NATE
Contractors that employ NATE certified technicians will also be
knowledgeable about high-efficiency systems, such as those with an ENERGY STAR® label, which can
reduce the impact on the environment and can also save homeowners money --
not to mention the new
federal tax incentives. With the passing of the American Recovery and
Reinvestment Act of 2009, homeowners are now eligible for expanded tax
incentives on energy-efficient HVAC systems.
