Here are a few general tips to help you find a qualified contractor:

  • Get a minimum of three contractor bids for any project.
  • Ask potential contractors what size and type of work they do to find contractors who fit your project’s size and scope.
  • Ask for recent references. Call those references and ask about their experience.
  • Verify the contractor is licensed, bonded and insured.
  • Confirm the new proposed system or product(s) meets your facility’s needs.
  • Confirm the written warranty on the installation (for materials and labor) with the contractor.
  • Ask for the manufacturer’s documents (specification sheets) and confirm quality and life expectancy of proposed equipment.
  • Always have a signed, written proposal with your contractor before work begins. The proposal should specify all costs (including our incentives), equipment model numbers, job schedule and warranty (material and labor) information. Never begin a project without one. Please note, some of our rebates and programs also require signed contracts with us before work begins.
  • Discuss material disposal with your contractor. It should be included in the proposal if special disposal is required. For example, fluorescent lamps and ballasts are considered hazardous waste.
