At HVAC FAQ HUB, trust is everything. We carefully vet each applicant and assign an internal Reputation Score that reflects real-world experience, verified expertise, and consistent performance. This score determines who we recommend and how companies appear in our search results.
Our approach builds on Google’s E-E-A-T framework (Experience, Expertise, Authority, Trust) — but dives deeper into HVAC-specific signals, field results, and peer recognition.
We have zero tolerance for fake or manipulated reviews. Evidence or reasonable suspicion of review manipulation on any platform is grounds for exclusion.
No two companies are identical. A 50-person firm and a one-person shop can both earn outstanding — or poor — reputations. We weigh signals proportionally to the business’s size, service mix, and market.
We review the company website and broader digital footprint. Current, helpful content and consistent brand mentions signal credibility and ongoing customer communication.
Independent validation matters more than self-promotion. We look for discussions and references on platforms such as forums, podcasts, interviews, professional communities, and news sources that cite the company or its team.
Reviews are weighed for authenticity and balance. We cross-check third-party sources and evaluate how a company responds to negative feedback or public criticism.
We assess audience quality and interaction (not just follower counts) on platforms like Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, and others relevant to local service businesses.
Patterns on sites like Glassdoor or Indeed can indicate culture and stability. Persistent negative feedback is a major red flag.
We weigh credible, peer-reviewed honors significantly more than pay-to-play awards or lightly vetted badges.
We value substance over volume — expert blog posts, videos, white papers, and appearances in reputable outlets that demonstrate practical, original insight.
Relevant credentials (e.g., NATE, UA STAR, BPI), manufacturer certifications, and energy-program qualifications indicate commitment to best practices and continuing education.
Active participation in trade associations, local business groups, and philanthropic initiatives reflects values and strengthens reputation.
Within each service category and for every search on HVAC FAQ HUB, rankings are determined by:
When multiple companies share the same Reputation Score, we rotate their positions every 24 hours so qualified providers share top visibility. Rotations only occur within identical score tiers; companies with higher scores will remain above lower-scored peers.
Rankings are not for sale. Paid subscriptions can enhance visibility (e.g., appearing in additional categories) but cannot change a company’s Reputation Score or rank. Sponsored listings may appear and are always clearly labeled — never at the top of results.
The final question we ask ourselves: Would we confidently recommend this company to a close friend or family member for HVAC service? If the answer isn’t a clear “yes,” the company won’t make our recommended list.
