When you hire a contractor to work on your electric baseboard heater or your wall heater, you should take a few things into consideration. For one thing, the contractor should have a lot of specialized experience with HVAC systems as both an installer and a repair technician. You need more than just an electrician. You need someone who understands how these specific heaters will fit into the overall heating system of your home. Someone who only has electrical training will not be able to anticipate potential issues as well as someone who is versed in HVAC technology.

You also need to be sure that the contractor is able to operate within the budget you've set down for the project. This means that you should get a quote from any contractor you consider working with. In truth, you can use these quotes as a way to narrow down your options and find a contractor who better suits your needs. Just make sure that you have this quote in writing so you can refer to it later on down the line. Keep in mind that most quotes will come with an expiration date, so you'll need to make your decision before that date.
