If you own a lot of rental units, you may benefit from a professional water meter installation company. In fact, both you and your tenants can enjoy many good things. However, choosing the right company is an important decision as this will affect your business for many years to come. Here are some important things to consider before you decide on which company to go with.
The Value of Experience
It’s important to choose experience for many reasons. For example, suppose you have two choices, one company is relatively new and has been in the business for about a year or so. The other company has been around since the early 1990s. The business with more experience has installed more than twenty-five thousand meters and only uses the highest quality meters, fittings and materials. Which professional water meter installation company should you choose?
When you decide to go with experience you make it easier on yourself and all your tenants. For example, should you have problems in the future you can turn to your experienced source for assistance. You know they will be there when you need them, but you can’t be sure with a newer business because many of these companies fail within a few years. Nothing is more frustrating than to use a meter company and find out they are no longer in business, when you have trouble. You could be on the outside looking in.
Qualified
Your water meter installation professionals should be fully qualified for the job. They should have all the necessary licenses and be fully trained. In addition, make sure the company you choose has an excellent reputation with the Better Business Bureau. Look for companies with an “A” rating whenever possible.
Do They Perform Their Own Services?
Not all companies you do business with have their own technicians and repair personnel. In fact, some companies routinely outsource or subcontract their work and you may have no idea who is installing your meters. In other words, the company could have decades of experience but if they are using inexperienced subcontractors, you could end up paying for it in the long run.
Additional Services
Perhaps you need other water related services. You can turn to your water professionals for utility management, data management and billing services also. In addition, some companies provide water testing and water treatment services to make sure you and your tenants have fresh clean drinking water which is safe and free of contaminants.
