  ![When is “cheap” a red flag](https://allproelectricalandac.com/components/com_rsblog/assets/images/blog/142.jpg?nocache=6a29cd773a0a1)## We get it. Times are tough, and we all want to save a buck. And sometimes, the cheapest option is, well – good enough. Other times – it’s a RED FLAG you should heed!!!

When it comes to repairing, installing, or maintaining today’s high-tech electrical and HVAC equipment, those low-ball estimates will often backfire. Low costs are simply not consistent with high-quality work or premium products.

At All-Pro Electrical and Air Conditioning, we are state licensed and insured, with an ongoing training program for all our technicians, and that doesn’t come cheap, but you can be sure that your job will get done right - the first time.

Hiring an unlicensed contractor may seem like the cheap way out, but repairs and installations performed by unlicensed contractors void warranties and hiring an unlicensed contractor can result in a civil penalty of up to $5,000 – plus court costs!

Inexpensive tune up specials, like any other “too good to be true” offer, are a tactic that is commonly used by unscrupulous contractors to get their foot in your door, so they can strong arm you into buying unnecessary parts and services.

Having saved a few dollars in the short run will bring you no comfort if it shortens the life of your HVAC equipment, and cutting corners can have catastrophic consequences.

All-pro Electrical and Air Conditioning isn’t always the cheapest option – in the short term, but we are always the best investment. That’s why we’re trusted by more of your neighbors than any other electrician or air conditioning company in the area!
