Definition of Value: relative worth, utility, or importance to a given individual
When searching for the right HVAC company what are you looking for? Are you simply looking for the lowest price, or are you really looking for the highest Value relative to that price? I would argue most consumers do a cost-benefit analysis, otherwise known as a “VALUATION” before they make a purchase or decide to put their trust in a company.
