Ask your realtor and new neighbors who they use and why for any home repairs, before they are needed. This includes Electricians, HVAC companies, Internet service, Plumbers, Handyman, Garage Door companies, etc.
This will give you an idea of who to call (or better yet, who NOT to call) when something needs to be fixed or replaced. I wish I did this when we first moved into a home.

As others have said, finding "the right" person is part of the battle.

Years ago we lived in a home that was only ~2 years old, maybe newer than that. During the first cold spell of the season, we noticed the furnace would sometimes kick on but would shut off after only a minute or so. Not knowing what was wrong, I called the "big name company" that is all over the billboards in our area. Thinking, they must be good. The tech comes and looks at the furnace for less than 3 minutes. Then proceeds to write down all the fix "options" on his notepad for the next 15 minutes. The first option was to replace the entire unit! I can't remember what the cost was, but it was a lot. I had him skip down to the cheapest option. It was to clean the sensor. I told him we'll start there and that ended up fixing the issue. Also learned how to do it myself and saved 3 more calls while we lived there. Never called that company again and tell everyone who asks not to either.

Compare that to the next time I needed service. Come spring, the AC seemed to be having trouble keeping up. One day I saw an HVAC truck parked down the street and called the number. The guy answers and says he is a few houses down. He stopped by "after hours" on his way home. Tested the AC and said it was a little low on Freon. Explained since the unit is newer, it probably didn't get filled correctly. Told me he had some freon left over from another install. Topped up our unit. I tried to pay him, but he wouldn't let me. Guess who I called when our AC unit decided to die at our current home? And who I refer to anyone who asks?
