Referral Directory Terms and Conditions
Southwest Gas provides a listing of appliance dealers and licensed contractors ("Contractor/Dealer(s)") for your convenience and is not responsible for the quality of the appliances, for the materials provided or the work performed by the Contractor/Dealers, or for any associated charges. Southwest Gas also provides associated links to the Contractors/Dealers for your convenience and is not responsible for their content.

This is a free referral service. Southwest Gas receives no fee for any referral, has no ownership interest in any Contractor/Dealer, and is not in a partnership or in a joint venture with any such Contractor/Dealer. Southwest Gas does not endorse and is not responsible or liable for any products, goods, services or financing available or unavailable from or through any Contractor/Dealer, or for the quality or workmanship of any such products, goods or services.

Southwest Gas makes an inquiry to the better business bureau and verifies that contractors are licensed at the time they register for this referral service, and we periodically perform random inquiries to verify that the licenses are current. You are encouraged to contact the better business bureau and your state contractors board to verify that the contractor is in good standing, the contractor’s license is in effect and has not been recently suspended, to determine if the contractor has any disciplinary history or valid complaints, and to obtain the latest consumer information bulletins.

The state contractors boards recommend that you do the following:

1) Hire only licensed contractors.
2) Get three written bids.
3) Get three references and review past work.
4) Have an understanding of whether you or the contractor will be responsible for obtaining a plumbing or other construction permit and for scheduling any inspections by the building department.
5) Ask what problems may come up during the project.
6) Get a written contract and fully understand the terms of the contract before signing it.
7) Be cautious about advancing monies for work that has not been completed.
8) Keep a record of all payments and do not pay the final amount until you are satisfied with the work or product.
9) Do not pay cash.
10) Make sure all changes to the contract are in writing.
11) Make frequent inspections.
12) Keep a job file of all papers related to the work.
