I’ve spent 35 years immersed in home contracting, often referred to as “The Trades.” Throughout this journey, I’ve learned from some exceptional thinkers—individuals who grasped not only perceived value and how to sell it but also performance value. They understood that true value grows when they deliver more than promised. This principle is why I choose to work at Bergeron Mechanical Systems: we consistently exceed expectations, transforming expenses into genuine investments.
Over the years, I’ve noticed the term “investment” is frequently misused across the trades—from landscapers to roofers, carpenters to HVAC professionals. Everyone claims their services represent a better investment.
Take windows, for example. A sales pitch might suggest that one contractor’s double-pane vinyl windows are more efficient and thus a better investment than a competitor’s. But do they really understand the full scope of value they bring to the table?
When you consult with a financial advisor about investments, they always discuss the associated risks. The same applies in the trades—there are risks to any investment, and often, the biggest risk is the contractor themselves.
A study by the North Carolina Energy Authority revealed a startling fact: 90% of heat pumps nationwide are improperly installed from day one. This statistic indicates a significant risk of turning what should be an investment into an ongoing expense. Many low-cost installations lead to multiple costly service calls each year, failing to provide the comfort and peace of mind expected from a sound investment.
At Bergeron, we focus on identifying and mitigating the common risks associated with heat pump installations. Our priority isn’t just the initial cost; it’s about delivering performance value that makes your heating and cooling system a true investment.
This commitment drives us to use only the best—Mitsubishi Hyper Heat Pumps, top-quality components, and the finest processes. We ensure proper sizing and design through the latest technology, operate a state-of-the-art showroom, and maintain well-equipped service vans. It’s also why we’ve thrived for 51 years, boasting more five-star Google reviews than our next five competitors combined.
While our upfront costs may be higher, this investment pays off over time. Our systems are designed to last and perform effectively, backed by the Bergeron Total Home Comfort Warranty—a 12-year, bumper-to-bumper, parts and labor guarantee, the best in the industry.
When you consider spending thousands or tens of thousands on a heating and cooling system, ask yourself: are you merely spending, or are you making an investment? This distinction should guide you in choosing between the lowest acquisition price and the lowest risk with the greatest long-term value. Make the smart choice—call Bergeron Mechanical Systems today!
