CONSUMER CONTRACTOR CONNECTION (C3)

Contractors

“Every technician we hire must already be NATE-certified or must become certified within three months of joining our team. By letting our customers know that we’re 100% NATE-certified, we’re assuring them that they’ll always be working with a technician who has proven to have what it takes to get the job done right.”

- Steven J. Miles -

With C3 membership, you not only receive the benefits of professionalism, customer confidence and profitability, you gain access to new customers. Whether you are a one-person shop or have NATE-certified technicians in multiple locations, NATE’s C3 program is the best way to let customers know you employ NATE-certified technicians with a free listing on our contractor locator, that receives 5,000 visits monthly.

To qualify, a contractor must have at least 25 percent of its eligible service and installation technicians NATE-certified. You may then register to be listed on the NATE contractor locator with your company information and the technicians' NATE ID numbers.
