8. SERVICE PROFESSIONAL PRESCREENING PROCEDURES AND DISCLAIMERS. Chicago Heating Repair Company uses the following criteria as part of its registration enrollment process (“registration”) for new service professionals applying for membership in our network:
Licensing – Chicago Heating Repair Company confirms at the time of a service professionals registration, that a prospective new member has all applicable required state-level or provincial-level trade licensing. Certain states may require state-level licensing for projects above specified dollar amounts. We recommend you confirm these licensing requirements with the business and the applicable state and local licensing authorities. In some states, licensing may be required by the county or local authority in which the work is being performed. We recommend you confirm these licensing requirements before proceeding with your project. Larger projects often require the use of sub-contractors for specific types of work. We recommend you verify that all the sub-contractors doing work on your project carry the appropriate licensing.
Insurance/Bonding – Where relevant, Chicago Heating Repair Company and Lakeshore Media Group LLC confirms general liability insurance coverage or bonding information (for movers, either cargo valuation coverage or general liability insurance coverage) presented by member service professionals in their profiles at the time of their registration with Chicago Heating Repair Company. Chicago Heating Repair Company confirms such coverage via the service professional’s insurance agent.
Criminal Records Search – Chicago Heating Repair Company uses 3rd party data sources to conduct a criminal search for any relevant criminal activity associated with the owner/principal of the business.
Sex Offender Search* – In the state in which the owner/principal of the company is located, we check the state’s official Sex Offender web site, to confirm that there is not a match based solely on the name of the owner/principal of the company. We do not run sex offender searches in any other states. Please note that only a fingerprint match can guarantee an accurate match for a sex offender search. We recommend that you check the applicable state sex offender website for any individual that will be performing work in your home.
Identity Verification (Reverse Phone Lookup) – We conduct a reverse business phone lookup to identify records matching the phone number information provided by the business.
Work History Verification – Chicago Heating Repair Company conducts a background check verifying all companies represented by Chicago Heating Repair Company have a minimum of 5 years of combined experience within one organization.
