New Heating And Cooling Website Educates Houston Consumers About Their HVAC Options While Offering Reviews Of Local Contractors.

Online, April 4, 2011 (Newswire.com) - The new Houston HVAC Guide is up and running at http://www.HoustonHVACGuide.com . The site helps Houston-area residents become educated consumers as they consider repairs to, or replacement of, their heating and cooling systems.

In-depth guides discuss the most common HVAC systems in use in the region, including air conditioner split systems, heat pump split systems and packaged HVAC units. Local residents are encouraged to complete reviews of contractors they have hired, and those reviews are posted on the site so that other consumers can get help in making the decision of who to contact for estimates. A unique service of the Houston HVAC guide is that it allows area residents to request 3 estimates from pre-screened local contractors - and there is no cost or obligation for the service. Both consumers and contractors who have reviewed the site give it high praise for the information it supplies. Consumers have the opportunity to find a dependable contractor; contractors are given a showcase to help grow their business.

One local resident who used the website to locate a contractor is Miguel Thompson, from Pearland, who says, "The Houston HVAC Guide is a great resource for information. I read the guide that describes how my heat pump split system works before I contacted contractors. I felt like I could discuss my situation intelligently and it helped me be confident I wasn't being taken advantage of. I also requested free estimates and got a very good deal on a replacement heat pump."

This is just the kind of site that local consumers need, according to consumer activist Stacy Goodrich. "When consumers have a chance to learn from reviews written by other consumers, their buying decisions are generally better. In situations like the Houston HVAC Guide provides, the better contractors, the cream of the crop so to speak, tend to rise to the top and the community is better served."

The newly opened site is attracting a steady stream of visitors who are getting reliable information as well as finding dependable contractors to do their work. For more information, visit the website at http://www.houstonhvacguide.com
