Before you sign

## Four things to check with any business

1. **Check the license** with your state's licensing board.
2. **Get three itemised quotes** so you compare like with like.
3. **Confirm who pulls the permit** : it should be in the business's name.
4. **Tie payments to stages** and get the warranty in writing.

For a fair price, compare three itemised quotes for the same job. [Ask the favorites for a quote](https://thecityfavorites.com/waterloo/hvac-contractors/#quote)
